When this was released it quickly became their goto song to show themselves off. When Lzzy Hale heard it, she said she wanted to take them on tour. That happened two years later in 2022. This song is short and powerful. Pau is the idea person - she creates most of the songs; but all three contribute considerably to the majority of the songs.
Angsty Teenage girl things….. I do think people project “boyfriend song” on too much of their stuff (re: MORE, ANIMOSITY, etc )…. But in this case you’re pretty much right on point. Pau has stated she was “going thru her emo phase” when writing QotMS of which this is one of the songs.
yeah you will get a better understanding of the queen when you react to the album but TW has always said the fans can make their own interpretation of the story as well 🤘
This is the song that pretty much got them on tour in support of Halestorm, when Lzzy Hale saw the performance they did from The Warning Cave during the pandemic. Man, I think I’m going to have to get some scotch to keep up with you! 😎👍
Again you'll have a better understanding of the songs from Queen of the Murder Scene because the lyrics tell a story. Dull knives is from that concept album.
*Dull Knives* a dull knife tears instead of cuts to make a wound... torn wounds are very hard to repair... in this 9th song of the concept album, "Queen of the Murder Scene" (aka QOTMS), the Queen is considering suicide as one way to possibly stop her evil side from taking hold... in another of the songs on this album, the lyrics talk about the water in a tub turning red from blood... this is seen as a female way of suicide because the tub would keep the mess all contained and not mess up other parts of the location... to me, the lyric "I'm plucking roses but keeping the thorns!" is about seeing, gathering, and embracing beauty while retaining only the darkness and gloom that was used to create and protect that beauty... that's some pretty deep stuff, there! TWA ⚡🤘😸🤘⚡ TWA
Cutting one's wrists in a tub of hot water is intended to prevent blood clotting from thwarting suicide. It is a very ancient form of suicide, for example, it is presumed that the Roman philosopher Seneca tried to commit suicide, although without success, until he entered a steam bath and died of asphyxiation because he suffered from asthma.
@@DadDaughtersandDrinks No problem. We will wait for you to react to Lunario concert from 2018 when the girls premiered QOTMS along with a few older songs. Probably then you can react to these 2 performances from Teatro as 4 years make a huge difference to a band that has been around for a decade.
I'm almost done with my QOTMS reaction journey at Lunario. I'll very well likely do them all from Teatro as well afterwards (possibly even the ones I did already)
Pau has said that they are very happy, not abused, not heartbroken, not psychotic, mostly you are hearing a story about something they saw, or read. They tell stories so good!!
Hard to keep up with you today. Great to see you diving down this rabbit hole. This is a favorite of mine. Yes Joan Jett. Yes punk. Yes all out energy. The version of this they did in their basement cave is what caught Lzzy Hale's eye to ask The Warning to join Halestorm on tour.
To me The Warning is singular in the way that they create music, Pau is clearly the idea person, she often comes up with a foundation for the melody and lyrics on the piano, then she immediately brings ti to her sisters and they all work on it together, plus when composing the bass parts both Dany & Pau participate with Ale, the same for drums and guitars, all 3 are involved and finally when recording they are all there in the studio during all the sessions. I am convinced that this is why they have such a very identifiable unique sound and sych a consistent quality song after song.
This is another QOTMS track, so doesn’t make much sense on its own. Perhaps you should have looked up which concert songs were from that album and missed them all out or you’ll struggle with all of them.
"Dull Knives, second song in Chapter 3 for QOTMS....great song....well they are all great songs...not sure what I was thinking...😏😏 Anyway...none of these lyrics from the QOTMS songs you are reviewing probably will not make much sense until you listen to the album and story from the beginning...interesting to see you try to figure them out though...🙄🙄
This song and many others are from the concept album Queen of the Murder Scene. The songs make the most sense when listed to in context of that album. Thats is why you are having so much trouble making sense of them. If not completely getting the interpretations wrong.
Scarlet letters, here, is used as a general reference to indiscretions or inappropriate thoughts or actions, of an intimate nature, not specifically adultery.
As a "reaction" I only witnessed some attempt to understand the lyrics of the song, something about Pau and the lirycs and... that was it! And to understand the lyrics of this song you must first understand that this song, like some others, come from the concept album "Queen Of The Murder Scene", a tremendous piece of true conceptual art, which was released independently. What also amazes me is the age at which they created this amazing concept album "QOTMS" to which masterpieces like "Dull Knives (Cut Better)" and the others belong. And that only in their second album created did they decide to make it conceptual... Has any other band in the world ever dared to do something so incredible?!! Thanks and regards!! 🤘😁✌️
That's because he's one ANOTHER one of those reactors who, as The Warning's "ERROR" album producer, David Bendeth said, mocked and lamented, has NO IDEA what he's talking about, because he hasn't done ANY research.
That’s a little harsh. He’s going through the entire concert of a band he’s falling down the rabbit hole with. He praises each song and is trying to interpret the lyrics - far better than reactors who simply say everything is great and end the video. He simply doesn’t know which songs are from the Queen or the Murder Scene album, which means each time he hears one it sounds dark and angsty. At least the theme is coming through each time. That’s a tribute to the songwriting - both lyrics and music.
I'm confused a little by the above; were you saying that David Bendeth mocked and lamented reactors who don't do research before listening to the album?
"I'm plucking roses but keeping the thorns." You mentioned in a previous video that their lyrics are like poetry. Yes. When you react to the entire album there are themes that appear throughout. One of the themes on QOTMS actually has to do with roses and thorns which appears in several songs. They do this as well in the Error album where many themes carry through the songs. Looking forward to When I'm Alone.
Wow, you've taken a difficult task! Trying to understand the lyrics outside of the QOTMS context which which tells the story of a disturbed young woman's inner journey from desire to obsession to murder and madness. The songs are told from the point of view of either the young lady's inner psychopath or her good side, which has a conscience. IMO this is best performance to see the story developped and played by younger The Warnings - sure, the sound is more raw and there are small technicals issues underway! But, consider when they played it first time and be amazed. 2018 QOTMS @Lunario CDMX complete concert: ruclips.net/video/9VciU3gMMUY/видео.html
I can't tell you how much I wish I could. I've always just been an analytical-minded person who is very literal with just about everything. I've tried to be more mentally free with metaphors and similes and such, but it just escapes me.
I'm not sure which of the song videos you mentioned it in, related to Dany's picks... And how many were on her mic stand... Seems like you found the continuity issue since this was filmed from two different concerts one night after the other !
@@RussInCanada- haha, yeah ! I affectionately call that the "Sleeves" video ! If you notice in that one Dany also has magic sleeves !! Nothing wrong with it they need to make the video somehow and get all the close-ups !
-Dull knives , uno de los temas mas duros y energéticos de The Warning que interpretación de Dany y Pau tocando lineas complicadas de batería y que base de bajo de Ale ,TW el nuevo fenómeno del Rock duro no hay otra igual , un tema corto pero bello
Another QOTMS song. You should love the Concert this is from!
Another song from QOTMS. The character is losing control and doesn't feel anything. Cutting with dull knives intensifies pain, thus feeling something.
Thank you. This apart of QOTMS concept album. Hard to understand the meaning without following the story. Great song. TWA
Dany teasing the audience with those feedback notes in the beginning 😹 😜

You owe it to yourself to check out their version of Dull Knives from The Warning Cave too.
And Live at the Lunario CDMX, in fact, the entire QOTMS concert.
yeah you will get a better understanding of the queen when you react to the album but TW has always said the fans can make their own interpretation of the story as well 🤘

Oh my goodness! Dull Effing Knives!! 3 minutes of greatness. 🤘🏻😀🤘🏻

That's some interesting - if dark - history!
Ugh, QOTMS, Dust to Dust, Dull Knives & Hunter are from QOTMS album.
I unfortunately only found that out after I finished most of them. QOTMS and Hunter will be the only ones I'll know to avoid for now.
@@DadDaughtersandDrinks No problem. We will wait for you to react to Lunario concert from 2018 when the girls premiered QOTMS along with a few older songs. Probably then you can react to these 2 performances from Teatro as 4 years make a huge difference to a band that has been around for a decade.

Pau has said that they are very happy, not abused, not heartbroken, not psychotic, mostly you are hearing a story about something they saw, or read. They tell stories so good!!
And they do not endorse murder.
Sorry if I seemed to indicate that they do! I didn't mean that if I did, probably just thinking out loud. I have every confidence they do not :-)
Hard to keep up with you today. Great to see you diving down this rabbit hole. This is a favorite of mine. Yes Joan Jett. Yes punk. Yes all out energy.
The version of this they did in their basement cave is what caught Lzzy Hale's eye to ask The Warning to join Halestorm on tour.
Joan Jett crossed with Suzi Quatro.
To me The Warning is singular in the way that they create music, Pau is clearly the idea person, she often comes up with a foundation for the melody and lyrics on the piano, then she immediately brings ti to her sisters and they all work on it together, plus when composing the bass parts both Dany & Pau participate with Ale, the same for drums and guitars, all 3 are involved and finally when recording they are all there in the studio during all the sessions.

No metaphors here . Pretty sure they're real knives 😊
This is another QOTMS track, so doesn’t make much sense on its own. Perhaps you should have looked up which concert songs were from that album and missed them all out or you’ll struggle with all of them.
A number of these songs are from the QOTMS a concept album you should have listened to this first and than you might get the meanings of the songs!
Anything from the Teatro Metropolitan concert is absolute gold.
"Dull Knives, second song in Chapter 3 for QOTMS....great song....well they are all great songs...not sure what I was thinking...😏😏 Anyway...none of these lyrics from the QOTMS songs you are reviewing probably will not make much sense until you listen to the album and story from the beginning...interesting to see you try to figure them out though...🙄🙄
Yep, I can't wait for the day I get to listen to them in order!
The Masterpiece! ⚡⚡⚡

Thanks and regards!!
🤘😁✌️
The best 3 minutes in Hard Rock!
I love that every QOTMS song he reacts to he's all "This seems like it's about a bad relationship." 🤣
lol

This is a song from Queen Of The Murder Scene, a made up novel. Not written based on their own life!!

Thanks for the link! Agreed that the task was a bit much (especially since it wasn't intentional and I didn't even know I was doing it)
You’re a bit too literal with the lyrics.
Take a more metaphorical approach and the context will improve.
I can't tell you how much I wish I could. I've always just been an analytical-minded person who is very literal with just about everything. I've tried to be more mentally free with metaphors and similes and such, but it just escapes me.
Crazy good..🥰🤟🎶☮️
Dull knives is more of QOTMS.
🤘⚡🔥
You should watch one of their concerts this summer to see what Dany does to Rev up the crowd before they start singing.
I certainly will if I get the chance!
Hi again They have 3 vlogs for their2nd Album. Queen of the murder scene
I plan on watching those after hearing the songs for the first time.
Does anyone know where DPA were playing last night?
I'm not sure which of the song videos you mentioned it in, related to Dany's picks... And how many were on her mic stand... Seems like you found the continuity issue since this was filmed from two different concerts one night after the other !
Like Ale's magic sleeves in the first Atlas Rise video.
@@RussInCanada- haha, yeah ! I affectionately call that the "Sleeves" video ! If you notice in that one Dany also has magic sleeves !! Nothing wrong with it they need to make the video somehow and get all the close-ups !
