Hello Friends!

Like all good things, Red Light Green Light has come to an end. We started this band to have fun and play some shows/hang out with our friends. We played a ton of shows and made a ton of friends along the way and now it's time to go on to other aspects of our lives...

Thanks so much for taking the time to listen to our music and watching us play (if you had the opportunity to see us live). Thanks for the memories!!

Love,

Derek and Red Light Green Light


p.s. - Some of us have new projects and I will post a new blog about them all complete with fun/​informative links, and what not, after our final show on January 2, 2010 at the Boonton KOC in New Jersey (please see the "Upcoming Shows" section on our page for more details).

Lend me your ears, but turn away because it’s hideous up here. Amber waves of grain have crumbled down and Church Street has been swept clear. A lonely train ride home, when all your friends have wings.

Remember when the skies were for the birds before structures were even dreamed. When everything has gone wrong.

So what’s your two cents? That’s all it worth because you never had a clue. Regurgitating everything you heard in the post and the daily news.

A slave to your nine to five and your three piece suit and tie(your suit and tie). The irony of the American dream, indentured till you die.

When everything has gone wrong. Just know I meant every word. You know I meant every word. And we dance, and we dance, and we dance through the streets and tenements and we snap-snap and clap our hands in remembrance.

Why me? “The seasons come and go. Look at the ash it falls like snow. We flew to fertilize the earth so a flower can grow.” He said. But still the seasons come and go. Look at the leaves that turn to snow. We flew to fertilize the earth, cause from death come rebirth. So just live!

When everything has gone wrong. Just know I meant every word. You know I meant every word. Why me?

 

 

She’s a Carnivore

 

So take a look in my eyes and tell me what you see. It’s all for you, it’s not for me. When talking to you is like a CD on repeat (here it goes, here it goes). You never listen to me. Is that the way it’s supposed to be? But there’s two sides to every story so shut your mouth and hear me out!

When all your negativity, it makes me want to leave (and I’ll go) and all your insecurities, they make me want to scream.

Now you wake me up out of a perfect sleep, you’re yelling and screaming and I’m still trying to dream and everyday it’s like a carbon copy (here it goes, here it goes). You never listen to me. Is that the way it’s supposed to be? But there’s two sides to every story, so shut your mouth and hear me out! When all your negativity, it makes me want to leave (and I’ll go). All your insecurities, they make me want to scream: Get off my back! I’m not your crutch. Trapped in a box (I’m trapped!).

So take a look at yourself and tell me what you see. I’m not normal but you’re crazy and everyday it’s like a carbon copy (here it goes, here it goes). You never listen to me. Is that the way it’s supposed to be!? Trapped in a box (I’m trapped!)

 

 

Code Red, Almost Dead

 

Around the world and back again and still nothings changed. When me, myself, and I’s my biggest adversary. Where do we go from here? Cause my visions become unclear and something’s got to give because I don’t have another year. Let’s go! This is our contribution but we are not your revolution. As youth dies, dreams fade away. So live your lives extraordinary and never settle for ordinary. Be who you want to be. So who you want to be?

Yea, bands they come and go but in the end they will know who has been here from the start and always did it with heart. This is our contribution but we are not your revolution. As youth dies, dreams fade away. So live your lives extraordinary and never settle for ordinary. Be who you want to be. So who you want to be? And if not now then when?

This scene is crumbling. Our dreams are falling down like rain!

This is our contribution but we are not your revolution. As youth dies, dreams fade away. So live your lives extraordinary and never settle for ordinary. Be who you want to be. So who you want to be?

Just live. Your life. This is our contribution but we are not your revolution. So be who you want to be, just live your life.

 

 

March II Revolution

 

We’re not your revolution. We’re not your call to arms. We’re not what makes a difference. We’re nothing. You’re nothing.



Habit vs. Habitat


I'm almost 25 years old and I still can't do what I'm told..

I'm not speaking of anarchy, I'm just talking about following my dreams..

And are you satisfied with what's been going on?

And are you satisfied with what you've become?

Cause yo thats sick man! You make 200K, but how do you sleep at the end of the day??


Cause friends they come and friends they go but beware of the friends that you keep close. A good friends worth his weight in gold.. but a knife in the back hurts more than I'm told.


I DON'T WANNA BE OLD AND BORING. I DON'T WANNA BE JUST LIKE YOU!

IF WE COULD JUST STAY KIDS FOREVER, JUST THINK OF ALL THE THINGS WE'D DO!!


CAUSE I DON'T WANNA BE JUST LIKE YOU...


So let's TURN BACK TIME! 


And do all the things we wanted to. I wanted to ride a bike with you, I wanna do everything with you!


And I thought I saw you on the train today. If I did I wouldn't known what to say..


"Cause yo thats sickkk man, about your 401k, but how do you sleeep at the end of the day?!"


Cause friends they come and friends they go but beware of the friends that you keep close. A good friends worth his weight in gold but a knife in the back hurts more than I'm told..


I DON'T WANNA BE OLD AND BORING. I DON'T WANNA BE JUST LIKE YOU!

IF WE COULD JUST STAY KIDS FOREVER, JUST THINK OF ALL THE THINGS WE'D DO!!


 

 

Everyone’s Getting Arrested

 

The air tonight (yea) it smells of snow. With your demeanor, your body language, your fake expressions are so cold. So what you trying to prove? What you try to say it like you mean it. You act so misleading. This isn’t you. This isn’t you.

The leaves are changing, they’re different colors and everything is fading fast. Like your demeanor, your body language, your fake expressions cannot last. So what you trying to prove and who the hell are you? So what you trying to prove? This isn’t you. This isn’t you.

You can fake it, you can fake it but it’s just not true!

So where you gonna run? Where you gonna hide, when your past is there by your side. Where you gonna run? What you gonna do? When your past is waiting there for you! This isn’t you. This isn’t you.

The way you fake it, the way I take it. The way we both act like nothing’s wrong!

 

 

Snaps Not Claps

 

With knapsacks and pre bit-rate. Through lonely streets that we would skate. We’re armed with only your mix tapes. I know you said it yourself.

But that was way back in the day, before anyone got paid. You hung on every word I said. I know you said it yourself.

So won’t you say it to my face. The lies you made yourself believe and everyday we slowly see. It’s not me, It’s not me.

You know we’d rock this stage for free because it’s where we want to be. We’re making music, it’s straight lovely. I know you said it yourself.

But now every show’s routine. The verse, chorus, it’s obscene. We’re moving t-shirts like disease. I know you said it yourself.  

So won’t you say it to my face. The lies you made yourself believe and everyday we slowly see. It’s not me, It’s not me!

The streetlights go on forever and ever and our friendship has been torn and severed. I never thought it could and I never thought it would.

So won’t you say it to my face. The lies you made yourself believe and everyday we slowly see. It’s not me, It’s not me.

So stumble home and stagger through the closing doors of a wasted youth.

It’s plain to see. It’s not me.

All you will need to do is meet up with us, walk around with a sign that says our set time or hand out flyers and try to get kids to come and see our set. Just send us a message and let us know if you are interested, thanks guys.
