The Voidz - Permanent High School OFFICIAL LYRICS

Permanent High School
if i told you the truth it would be a lie
-
be damned, don't you dare, i'll be laughing from here to there
just because something' popular don't mean it's good.
i'd like to be your drink, i'll help you talk, i'll help you think
deal with it. i cheated on the test
hiding what we want to do
smart people will learn from fools
life is like a hurricane: cloud-swirls when the asteroid came
depressed, stressed and oppressed
lies are simple truth complex
snakes with venom, ones with none,
ones who bite you just for fun
-
the horror of being awakened
and temporarily seeing the madness of your life
deal with it. if i told you the truth it would be a lie
hiding what they want to do
is it me or is it you?
their lies comforting someone,
occupied like Washington
sometimes it's easier to cry
than try to figure out why
fight for ungrateful grandchildren
in the future there's no sun
well i'm sorry that, sorry dad, sorry that i can't forget
when did my joy break like a toy?
tell me what we're fighting for?
when did my dreams tear at the seem?
put me on a different team…

"well i'm sorry that, sorry dad, sorry that i can't forget" That is proper sad.

[@chrispotter4626]

BlackPhoenix 72 woah I read this right as Julian was singing it

[@anaarias429]

I always thought it said “sorry that”, now I’m sad

[@blackphoenix8932]

His Dad John Casablancas died in 2013 which was obviously a major influence on the song Human Sadness. He clearly has unresolved feelings about his deceased Dad, which is pretty sad in my opinion.

[@blackphoenix8932]

On a side note, where is ALieNNatioN?

[@sithshallrulethegalaxy485]

Pointlessness is the best in my opinion

[@DifferentWhenYouSay]

This album is unbelievable. I never thought I would enjoy The Voidz, but it's everything I want in experimental music.

[@billythekid2340]

This album came out at a point in my life where I needed it, especially this song..

[@johnmaldonado2974]

billythekid I’ve never been so touched by a comment as hard as yours just did to me ...

[@rajaah3412]

billythekid enjoy it then ❤️

[@lonesaiyan27]

the fanbase needs you!

[@jeanfrancia6931]

billythekid, me too

[@chrisvamudio4408]

Human sadness was my favorite until I heard this, this song is ridiculously relatable, no matter how much older I get there seems to be a part of me that feels like a teenager, constantly realizing life isn't what it turns out to be, and how much I miss my high school friends, but at the same time I look back on how toxic it was to be around them

[@johnmaldonado2974]

This

[@angus7021]

bruh this song was sad enough. the dad angle kills me bro

[@jaredbond7908]

My head is too full of music, but he still manages to get me. Still fresh, still original, still hip, still cool. Condenses and modernizes what was cool in the past, jumping from genre to genre. (much like the Beatles)

[@jaredbond7908]

friggin love that 60s feel in the beginning 😏

[@dancarnell5938]

Ever since I found out it was ‘sorry dad,’ I almost can’t listen to this song. Makes me feel immense pain for Jules. I hope he’s okay wherever he is.

[@rue.el.]

"well i'm sorry that, sorry dad, sorry that i can't forget" I had a feeling this line was about his dad even though it just sounded like he was saying sorry that x3. This might just be me projecting my own feelings but I've always felt that Julian's dysfunctional relationship with his dad has had a huge affect on him and I can hear it in most songs, whether it's the Strokes, his solo stuff or his music with the Voidz. Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm just looking for it because it makes me feel like someone feels the same way, but I've been listening to them for 13 years now and it's the thing that draws me to them; the sadness. I don't know.

[@genp3581]

I've felt the same way, to be honest.

[@manillascissor]

that's very insightful of you. i'm new to his music, what's the deal with his dad?

[@thestratigist__officiel4895]

@@manillascissor his dad was famous. They had a bad relationship, because his dad was never there for him. In human sadness he made that song after his dad passed away I believe, and in a few other songs with the strokes. I think he made about his father, but he does not make it so obvious.

[@manillascissor]

@@thestratigist__officiel4895 thanks

[@thestratigist__officiel4895]

@@manillascissor no problem, and I hate to make you sad, but look up the lyrics to chances by the strokes, and the song. It's as if he pretended to make it about a girl, and cover up the fact that he was actually talking about his father.

[@awestar2719]

this song scratches the exact itch i had for more like the bridge from the strokes' "drag queen" where jules goes "i cannot believe my eyes/ darling i can tell you lies". i adored that part and i adore this song. i love the croons, the not quite-singing, and the lyrics that sound like truths the more you think about them.

[@theconsoleking360]

3:02 I didn't know those were the actual lyrics😨😨😨😨

[@ezequiellobo5791]

03:02 I can't get that part out of my head. pls I need a doctor

[@pinkiefloyd5849]

The best song from the album without a doubt.

[@moonsmonsters]

Yep

[@tristansilver9969]

Lol what, wink is up there idk about that

[@tristansilver9969]

@NewWaveFreak 1988 I disliked it because you're right I actually think it's leave it it my dreams wink then this song

[@tristansilver9969]

@Katzen König I think you should shut up and not bring The Strokes Into the voidz

[@tristansilver9969]

Secondly you're in no position to tell Julian Casablanca who #1 owns cult records and #2 the front man for The Voidz, how to produce a fragment of his album

[@thestratigist__officiel4895]

Sometimes I get sad that the strokes don't make new music, but I am glad Julian casablancas still makes solo, and with the voidz I support him in whatever he does. My favorite singers. I hope someday he sees this comment :) he sings his heart out. On of a kind.

[@Reedifus1]

Albert Hammond Jr.! Four awesome albums.

[@lizardth7468]

well i have news for you my dear

[@angelinaandersonbaires7702]

This sounds very similar to the final part of Drag Queen - The Strokes. I still like it

[@dylanr4854]

Yeah that’s what I thought of the first time I heard this

[@tristansilver9969]

@ 1:04 I hear " Coast to coast L.A. to Chicago." Fitting oh so well

[@soledadrios9252]

Le perdono por el video de qyurryus no me gustó la chica que apareció ya que no está bueno exponer así a las mujeres y lo hace berreta,me quedé decepcionada pero seguro que Julian no tuvo la culpa?

[@strokesvoidz5464]

También se exponen ellos (The Voidz) incluso Beardo con esa playera corta que en una mujer podría ser algo "provocativo", así que no veo el punto, pero la verdad es que no entendí el concepto del vídeo. Posiblemente sea eso...

[@gusdieker6169]

the lyric is actually "i'd like to be your Drake, i'll help you talk, i'll help you think"

[@ReLoadXxXxX]

Fuck off moron.
