"Bug Eyes" by Dredg
If you haven't heard of Dredg, then you're really missing out. Dredg is one of those artists that just defies categorization; if you visit their Wikipedia page, they're listed as being art/experimental rock. MetalSucks.net once described the band as "stoner-groove," which I find to be more apt and awesome. Each record they put out is markedly different from its predecessor, but each is unmistakably Dredg. They're one of those bands that you can listen to for ten seconds and say, "Hey, man this is Dredg."
"Bug Eyes" is the lead single from 2005's Catch Without Arms. It starts out with this really eerie slide guitar part that is as catchy as it is unique. It's a moody song with a soaring chorus and an awesome interlude; during the bridge, the drummer plays the piano with his left hand and plays the drums with everything else. How cool is that? Enjoy.

Lyrics
bring back those good ol' days
nothing feels right
nothing ever goes my way
I threw my future away
now I walk alone
out here in the cold
wandering astray
where is my future?
I'm gonna need a home
you'd expect the same
now wouldn't you?
wouldn't you?
your journey back to birth is haunting you
haunting you
your departure from the earth is haunting you
haunting you
only those who accept
will find that acceptance in return
we have been trimmed down like hedges
and told just to sit
and wilt
and spit at each other from a distance
there is constant resistance from you
I'm gonna need a home
you'd expect the same
now wouldn't you?
wouldn't you?
it's been 10 years strong
that's much too long
it's time to do something good for my health
it's time to do something good for myself
I've wasted all of this time
nothing feels right
nothing ever goes my way
I threw my future away
now I walk alone
out here in the cold
wandering astray
where is my future?
I'm gonna need a home
you'd expect the same
now wouldn't you?
wouldn't you?
your journey back to birth is haunting you
haunting you
your departure from the earth is haunting you
haunting you
only those who accept
will find that acceptance in return
we have been trimmed down like hedges
and told just to sit
and wilt
and spit at each other from a distance
there is constant resistance from you
I'm gonna need a home
you'd expect the same
now wouldn't you?
wouldn't you?
it's been 10 years strong
that's much too long
it's time to do something good for my health
it's time to do something good for myself
I've wasted all of this time
