“Straight Jacket Fashion” Lyrics

Album: Vena Sera

Artist: Chevelle

Genre: Hard rock, Alternative metal

Lyrics:

Don’t stand around
So far, it’s empty
Just pull close these witnesses
That follow, so trusting
There they go

By the way
We last because we’re colorful
And as for fools, just play the opposite

Cause quietly, you’re overrated anyhow
And currently, you spread yourself so thin

Climb up your pedestal
To hang yourself from it
A cold day without the praise
I used when I never ever meant to change

By the way
We last because we’re colorful
And as for fools, just play the opposite

Cause quietly, you’re overrated anyhow
And currently, you spread yourself so thin
Spread yourself so thin

His straight jacket fashion
Can’t believe he could
But I cry denial
To say that it should
This straight jacket fashion
I can’t believe he could
Stab myself just the same
You know that you should

By the way
We last because we’re colorful
And as for fools, just play the opposite

Quietly, you’re overrated anyhow
Currently, you’ve spread yourself so thin

Quietly, you’re overrated anyhow
And currently, you spread yourself so thin
Spread yourself so thin
Spread yourself so thin
Spread yourself so thin

Vena Sera
Chevelle has been releasing solid, if not entirely original-sounding, albums for the better part of a decade now and Vena Sera serves as another pleasant but workaday entry in the band’s still sparse oeuvre. The group’s continued debt to Tool remains obvious on the hard-hitting opener “Antisaint” with its throbbing guitar work and from-the-gut vocals and can also be heard during the arena-ready stomp “The Fad.” There are few surprises throughout, very little we haven’t already heard from Chevelle and its contemporaries before: The pulsating, detuned riffs that populate the mosh-intensive “Humanoid” and the fairly pallid late-album arrival “Midnight to Midnight” (which could have been a serious radio contender circa 1999) share space with the uplifting guitar figures of the slightly pop-inflected “Brainiac” and the nearly anthemic “Well Enough Alone” to familiar but comforting effect. Still, lovers could do far worse than dive in and enjoy some workmanlike riffs delivered in an enthusiastic fashion that many of this band’s imitators will never manage to muster. Vena Sera is decent through and through but hardly ever life-changing.––Jedd Beaudoin
