Lyrics
Just because it’s inconvenient doesn’t make it untrue
Just because you disagree it doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want to
There is such a thing as truth and it cannot be debated
Swapping out reality for the narrative they created
Throwing ‘round these words and phrases like you know what they mean
They keep calling out for freedom while being slaves to ideology
The emperor is naked and the city is on fire
Denial is what stokes the flames of what’s become a funeral pyre
When it all comes tumbling down
The sound is deafening
You can hear it all around
The inane, the insane
The avalanche of apathy and disdain
Grant me the strength to survive today

Washington, DC-based four-piece Dear Daria writes storyteller songs about angst, love, social commentary, mental health, and a longing for the world to be the kind of safe and accepting place we all wished we lived in. Dear Daria is a brightly-colored swirl of power pop, indie rock, alt-rock, and pop punk. Frontwoman Maryjo Mattea says “it's like if Lennon and McCartney grew up in the 90s”.
