Who's Laughing Now

Who's Laughing Now (LC Version)

[Verse 1]
In the quiet of twilight, I wander through memories,  
Glimmers of hope dance softly as the night sets me free.  
Every step on this winding road whispers secrets untold,  
Searching for truth in silence, where stories of light unfold.  

[Pre-Chorus 1]  
I feel the pulse of the night—a heartbeat steady and true,  
Each shadow teaches me that darkness can birth something new.  

[Chorus 1]
Light, guide me through this endless night,  
Where dreams and fragile hopes ignite.  
Even when I’m lost in my own unknown,  
I cling to the strength I’ve always known—  
Though I sometimes fade away into darkness alone,  
Your gentle radiance brings me back home.  

[Verse 2]
Underneath a silver moon, reflections shimmer in my eyes,  
I confront my deepest fears, embracing truth without disguise.  
In the quiet solitude of night, I learn to face my plight,  
For in each trial, I discover that the only way out is through concept, right?  

[Pre-Chorus 2]
In the stillness, my soul confides its silent decree,  
That every challenge builds the strength to set my spirit free.  

[Bridge]
When the weight of the world grows heavy on my heart,  
I remember that to heal, I must play my part.  
Every storm I brave reveals the courage within,  
For light emerges when I let the journey begin.  

[Chorus 2]
Light, shine through this deep midnight blue,  
Illuminate the path, make every dream come true.  
Even when darkness tries to pull me apart,  
I hold on to the wisdom deep within my heart—  
Though I may sometimes fade away into darkness alone,  
Your steadfast glow reminds me I’m never on my own.  

[Outro]
As the morning breaks, I rise renewed and bright,  
Carrying lessons learned through the long, silent night.  
In every shadow, your love cuts right through,  
For the only way out is through concept—and through you.

"Light" is a slow-burning post-punk descent into a twilight realm of atmospheric melancholy. Deep, low male vocals at 103 BPM in D Major weave introspection and resilience into a haunting tapestry of solitude and bittersweet release. Ethereal guitars and reverberating synths guide you through shadowed echoes and hidden truths, each note a whispered secret in the dark.

The track tells the story of a man mourning the loss of his lover—now tethered like a stray dog, bound by memory, pain, and a collar that won’t rot. Poetic, symbolic lyrics conjure images of gods who no longer answer, names carved in fire, and roots that bleed. The sound is raw, unplugged, and haunting

As a band, Taryn and Austin’s journey happened both unexpectedly and fortuitously. At the start of the COVID pandemic, Austin and his wife moved back into his parents’ house, where Taryn was also living at the time. Faced with nothing but time, he got back to songwriting, regularly asking Taryn for input — or as the two playfully put it, “Gen Z quality control.” 

The immediate result of their musical partnership was the pop-punk/alternative anthem “Who's Laughing Now" which leads with wry, tongue-in-cheek lyrics about the futility of young adulthood in 2023. After posting an unfinished version of “Who’s Laughing Now” on TikTok, it swiftly took off, galvanizing thousands of viewers who shared their coming-of-age frustrations. Clearly, the song’s sentiments - which land somewhere between a shrug and a clenched fist - resonated with millions of listeners, and today DURRY have recorded a fully fleshed-out version of “Who's Laughing Now,” which appears on their riveting, perfectly sardonic debut LP, Suburban Legend, out now!

Whether Suburban Legend is tackling romantic love, late-stage capitalism, mental health woes, or teen nostalgia, the thread tying it all together is its utter relatability. Regardless of where you are in life — city or suburbs, school or work, or pursuing a creative dream of your own — Durry will meet you there with a wink and a high five.
