Are we there yet? 
No 

What’s the day 
What’s the time 

Deadly silence 
Smokey skies 

Hell broke loose 
The crowd goes wild 

Waxy faces 
Eyes grow wide 

His body is his armour 
So frail and so thin 
They push and shove and beat and poke but still they cannot win 


(I’ll rip you to pieces) You break my fingers 
(You rip me to pieces) You break my bones 
(I’ll rip you to pieces) You pull the trigger 
(You rip me to pieces) Our dear protector 

(I’ll rip you to pieces) Your ugly grimace 
(You rip me to pieces) Your evil sneer 
(I’ll rip you to pieces) We flirt with madness 
(You rip me to pieces) The end is near 
 

There's no hope  No redemption 
(Crack my skull)
Mother please don't cry 
There's is a better world for us out there 
Can you see it? Or is it just me? 
(And you'll be pleased)

A vague sense of unease that the gruesome climax of my life 
(Crack my skull)
Was being rehearsed years in advance 
(In the name of peace)

Be my friend walk me out of this plight 
(Crack my skull)
Walking along the sea I see the tents and the people they're all
They're all smiling at me 
(And I'm released)

Out of nowhere we became the traitor 
(Crack my skull)
This is an army with no clear leader 
(And make me the beast)

“The Beautiful is that which is well-formed and aesthetically pleasing, whereas the Sublime is that which has the power to compel and destroy us. The preference for the Sublime over the Beautiful drove us to create what sometimes feels out of place. The preference for the Sublime over the Beautiful was what compelled us to extreme emotions that are not commonly desirable; fear, anxiety, deep despair, confinement, mania, exhaustion, lunacy.

Our existence did not come from popular demand and nor the nature of our work will be."


Formed in 2013, Hong Kong, David Boring is named after the unlikely hero from Daniel Clowes's cult classic graphic novel. Signatured with their dirty, experimental noise, male-female interlacing dialogues and the enigmatically cathartic live performances, DB experiments in ways that both confront and empathise with the modern world, revealing a dark, claustrophobic world that either excites or traumatises. Since the release of their debut album in 2017, DB went from being an underground cult favourite, to exploding into the international radar. The band's bold and unique appeal drew the attention of international critics, music lovers, and the cultural crowd.


DAVID BORING is Laujan (vocal), Jason Cheung (guitar, vocal), Jonathan Yang (bass), Kit Yip (guitar), and Underdog (drums).
