Theory of a Deadman Releases New Song “Dinosaur” with a Warning for Humanity
Theory of a Deadman are back with new music, and this new song has a definite bite. Having leaned a poppier direction in recent years, the band drops a cautionary tale called “Dinosaur” that delivers with plenty of rock swagger while serving as a warning call for the human race.
Singer Tyler Connolly belts out his prediction in the lyrics, “Hey kids, boys and girls / Now we’ve really done it, it’s the end of the world / Now, we’re going out, going out like the dinosaur.” While that’s definitely a darker sentiment, the music accompanying that thought is anything but, with the band utilizing a catchy swing to deliver that feeling of this being a more celebratory end.
“‘Dinosaur’ takes us back to our roots with this riff-driven rocker,” shares Connolly. “To me, it feels like it could fit on any of our albums, but I will say if you like the old Theory of a Deadman, you’ll love the new Theory of a Deadman.”
“Rock is where we made our bed for all these years,” adds guitarist Dave Brenner. “It’s been a while since we had an up-tempo in-your-face track like this – and it felt good.”
At present, “Dinosaur” is a stand-alone single, coming clearly after the promotion of the band’s 2020 album, Say Nothing. It also feels more on the harder rock side of the band’s sound, with energetic guitars pulsing through your speakers.
The track was produced by Martin Terefe, and it’s possible this could eventually lead to the announcement of their next album. But for now, take a closer look at the lyrics and listen to the song below, while you can now pick up the track here. The band also recently debuted the track live during their appearance at Aftershock 2022 in Sacramento, Fan-shot footage of that performance can be viewed below.
Theory of a Deadman, “Dinosaur” Lyrics
- Whatever happened to humanity
- Ya we’ve driven ourselves to insanity
- We all human waste in a race to the finish
- Now we know that we’re all gonna get it
- Do something stupid like some dumb ass kids
- Hiding in the dark hunting down our friends
- We all Lord of the flies till the very end
- Now we know that we’re all gonna get it
- Whoa 20 24 hours to go
- Hey kids boys and girls
- Now we’ve really done it it’s the end of the world
- Cuz hey kids we were warned
- Tonight we’re going out going out like the dinosaur
- Hoping heaven gonna let you in
- But ya god is wondering where ya been
- When idiocracy is all there is
- Now we know that we’re all gonna get it
- Carl Sagan rollin in his grave
- We all lie to ourselves saying it’s just a phase
- Ya. We’re all fucked ya we can’t be saved
- Now we know that we’re all gonna get it
- Whoa 10-9 hours to go
- Hey kids boys and girls
- Now we’ve really done it it’s the end of the world so
- Pray big oh my lord
- Now we better run better run
- Come with me, now we’re free
- Let’s all just purge the ending
- Cuz hey kids we were warned
- Tonight we’re going out going out like the dinosaur
- Whoa only 1 minute to go
- Hey kids boys and girls
- Now we’ve really done it its the end of the world so
- Pray big oh my lord
- Now we better run better run
- Come with me, now were free
- Lets all just purge the ending
- Cuz hey kids we were warned
- Tonight we’re going out going out like the dinosaur
