End Of An Era
Knew the end was near for Cobra but didn’t really want to accept it. Change is a weird thing it either can make you scared or excited, I chose to ignore so many signs but knew the biggest white flag was not seeing Cobra Starship included on DCD2.
I have so many memories with this band, I’ve met so many friends and connected with fans all over the world. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t really upset, but I know that this is just how music works over time and truly all good things must come to an end. I remember the first time I heard Snakes on A Plane and went “whoa this isn’t my usual Blink 182 and this isn’t Gabe’s Midtown but damn I love it” I only grew more infatuated after seeing them live. I was 16, going to shows I love and not sure what I really wanted in life except music.
I went to over 50 Cobra Starship shows through the years and was that girl front row yelling lyrics I knew they’d want the world to know. By the time college rolled around I was still hooked and even skipped final exams to go see them in Florida (sorry to my professors who I faked sick to!) and it was the most amazing trip. Cobra Starship has not only paved the way for anyone who doesn’t “fit in”, but they taught me it’s okay to be you and just let the rest of the world to deal with it. I will truly miss the hip gyrates, keytar dances and Ryland and Alex’s antics while Nate joined in.
As of Janunary 1st this account will no longer exist and although this is the end, Cobras Never Die and that’s the note I want to end on. Thank you to each and everyone of you who reblogged, follow this account, believe in fangs up and love Cobra the way I do. Thank you to every single friend I made at a show who sang along with me. Most of all thank you Gabe, Victoria, Nate, Ryland, Alex, Halvo and Andy for making Cobra starship but the voice we all needed. If the world is ending we’ll always be throwing the party and be the talk of the town <3
Fangs Up. It’s a life Style, not a trend.
Faithfully with love and respect always,
Stephanie
