Rites of Spring

Rites of Spring was an American post-hardcore band from Washington, D.C. in the mid-1980s, known for their energetic live performances. A part of the D.C. hardcore punk scene, Rites of Spring increased the frenetic violence and visceral passion of hardcore while simultaneously experimenting with its compositional rules. Lyrically, they also shifted hardcore into intensely personal realms and, in doing so, are often considered the first "emo" band, but Rites of Spring itself rejects any association between themselves and emo genres. more »

Time heals all wounds they say but the self-inflicted won't
Just fade away - And in these shifting tides of blame why
Are you surprised to see your name? It's such a drag,
Time got the best of you, things you gave you say were

Taken, explanation piled over excuse.
And so the story goes
But by your own design
And if you look to me to find you

Then my eyes will pass right through
Believe me I had wished, we could have avoided this
Please don't ask me to explain all the things that caused
Your pain - I only want you to realize, passivity

Equals compliance - let it slip right through your
Hands become the victim of other's demands.
