In this song, Band of Horses critiques the superficiality and banality of social gatherings. The lyrics depict a protagonist who feels out of place amidst trivial conversations about television, hobbies, and future plans. The mention of a "sociopath" playing games suggests an undercurrent of manipulation or insincerity in these interactions. The recurring theme of "blind faith" and "rage wound so tight" points to internal conflict and frustration with the emptiness of these encounters. Ultimately, the protagonist yearns to escape this artificial environment, seeking authenticity and meaning beyond the facade of casual parties.
Casual Party
Lyrics
Talking television at the casual party
Here's some brand new friends to get you started off
So start it off
Since Ben got that he's a sociopath
He's only playing games don't be distracted, oh
It's all or nothing, all or nothing
So you really got something to lose
It's coming around as it did before
It's gettin' your attention but where's the door? Woah
I can't locate it, where's it located?
I got plenty to live for
Blind faith, it don't sit right
You got rage wound so tight
I wanna leave
Best get out of the way
Blind faith don't sit right
You're full of rage wound so tight
I'm gonna leave
Best get out of the way
Awful conversation at the casual party
The job, the babble on, the recreational hobbies, oh
No it never stops
Kids and the dog, a freshly-mowed lawn
Retirement plans for a mountain home, oh
Been arrested, lived in Texas
My God I'm gonna leave it with you
Blind faith don't sit right
You got rage wound so tight
I better leave
Best get out of the way
Blind faith don't sit right
You're full of rage wound so tight
I'm gonna leave
Best get out of the way
Talking conversation at the casual party
Awful television don't get you started, oh
No it never stops
Children and dogs and manicured lawns
All your future plans, vacation homes
I wanna go
Home
It's so stupid
Everything's about you man
Hey!
Hey what's up? (that's Steve)
