Chorus:
I knew right then that she'd been abducted
I knew right then that I would be taking her heart
I knew right then that I'd never love her
No reason to hope
No dreamers would win from the start

I don't understand why people say this is a boring song. It's called simplicity at it's finest, yet sends a meaningful message.

[@suspicious_papaya4307]

it's been 11 years, but i still quite agree!

[@robertsmith1762]

It's my favorite

[@joaquinclemens6698]

“Boring” because they have no concept of amazing, calm, and emotional music

People saying this are just boring people, so, ignore them.

[@rexx8257]

When I feel blue I always fall back to this, and I should be worse, but it somehow makes me feel better. I love the lyrics and the rhythm, it's almost like a celebration of getting your heart broken.

[@luvs7ruck]

winner :))

[@jorgeestrada5713]

You're right!

[@jullyaagabel6426]

I feel the same

[@johtohoennfan45]

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR PROBABLY TEN YEARS AND I JUST FOUND IT. The chorus melody has been in my head that whole time, and Google's humming song search solved it for me. Oh my god I'm elated

[@sevenheadedunicorn]

Just saw them live in Tucson last night. I must say that Madeline's vocals are just as pretty live as they are recorded. Of course the band itself was tight and well practiced, I was very impressed.

[@11WaterSkier11]

A relationship which binds rather than liberates. A relationship where one or both people don't really know how to be loving. A relationship of entrapment, not of love. A relationship which should have ended, but here they are old and battered and now don't even know what to do. They are so burnt out, all creativity or ability to change is gone. Dreams are gone. All they have left is to change roles. I agree with Voli23 about the Xs.

[@TheSohanandrei]

I think their style is very original and interesting. I really like their songs! Wish them all the luck!

[@rabbit9905]

as a connoisseur of music of every kind, cults can very easily be listed among my very very very favorite artists of all time and all genres. this song is so simple but its honestly a piece of art when you really listen and consider all of its dimensions.

[@David-rh8kv]

So true , love this song

[@1JrRihanno1]

This one is for you, my dear ex. Yuqiang, this will forever be our song. And the likeness of you listening to this song, It’s the same of us meeting again. It won’t happen.

[@itsmeeetaydannn]

I'm glad to found this song, finally I know how he could sing

[@KatVonEMBRYOYO]

How is this song this old? I've been missing out!!

[@fettycheese2498]

The album Cults was released in June 7, 2011 but this song was released in January 1, 2011

[@wolfgang6442]

It's 2021 and I too am just finding out about this song and self titled album as well

[@KatVonEMBRYOYO]

@@wolfgang6442 all I can say is I'm really glad they featured on the Carrie remake or I'd probably have never heard of this band, and that would've been a huge shame.

[@MaggieSwims]

I went on a two hour bike ride today and just had this song on repeat. Amazing song. Amazing band.

[@melinamuleiro8001]

[@svtv_9615]

I wish they had more songs like this

[@kevincorcoranjr]

it's videos like these that remind me why band's should continue making music videos. It's beautifully filmed, amazingly sequenced, and a brilliant extension of the song! Two thumbs up... 5 stars... all that jazz! Epic video :)

[@mida8261]

College radio brought me back here. Can't believe I'm reminiscing about college now!

[@snc9297]

This song fits so good with this video. So many beautiful shots, actors are exelent even tho they dont do much. Or my explenation was bad and high af. Really well directed!

[@itarisk]

I can't get enough of this band!! If they come to Houston, I'll be the first person there. Stoked that NPR has the entire album on streaming, too.

[@samig2986]

Have you seen them live yet?

[@lucinaortega5270]

I knew right then that I'd been abducted I knew right then that he would be taking my heart I knew right then no one was above him I knew right then that he would be breaking my heart He tore me apart because I really loved him He took my heart away and left me to bleed out, bleed out He broke my heart because I really loved him He took it all away and left me to bleed out, bleed out I knew right then that she'd been abducted I knew right then that I would be taking her heart I knew right then that I'd never love her The reasons I hope the dream hasn't left her scarred He tore me apart because I really loved him He took my heart away and left me to bleed out, bleed out He broke my heart because I really loved him He took it all away and left me to bleed out, bleed out He tore me apart because I really loved him He took my heart away and left me to bleed out, bleed out He broke my heart because I really loved him He took it all away and left me to bleed out, bleed out

[@ScorpioBabiii90]

Thank you Grey's for another awesome song!! 🙌🏿

[@quinnneal4417]

I heard always forever on tiktok and now I’m in love with all of these songs! 😃

[@buntaskunta]

the song is about guys taken control over girls and us being trapped in love with them and men just using us and leaving us. Like the more you fall in love the harder the break up is. So she is expressing how it feels to go through that. The video represents that. A man taking a women (all of her and her heart) he has captured her (her heart) and then he just leaves her on the road (dumps her) all the X's represent how many times we go back into the same relationships over and over get it now???

[@Swachitsky]

oh dear lord FINALLY SOMEONE WITH BRAINS ON THIS WEBSITE! the only thing i dislike about vevo is that you can't watch a few videos if you aren't in america, and i think americans don't really think about that, they are very lucky in that aspect, they get to see everything and listen to every song in america just because of the location! but vevo is too mainstream for hipsters

[@mdnight333]

Esta canción es tan fabulosa 😍💜😊💔

I like how while I'm watching a Cults music video there is also a suggestion to subscribe to the church of scientology to my right.

More irony is the song name and Scientology

[@ducktacular8]

i hate when people rewrite the lyrics of a song in comments, with spaces between the lines, just to get likes at how emotional it is

[@SwagOnSwoosh]

Great music. Thanks to MLB The Show I discovered this band. Very happy with the album so far.

Crazy trippy video. Can't wait to see them live this summer after hearing the new album off Amazon.

Stuck on repeat.

Just discovered this song TODAY!! September 23rd, 2019 💖 it's amazing.

[@berserkstroke]

You late asf 👀

[@TeslaKuhn8]

this band has a crazy late 70s early 80s in hell vibe. reminds me of the film jennifer's body, somehow.

[@xittlaliflores7552]

Yesss It reminds me of that movie too

[@wolfgang6442]

I feel your splitting some truth with this one

Cults are so good with these videos for their music. Awesome. Can't wait to see them on Sunday.

[@rubicscube007]

I'm so glad the album finally came out!

[@battlechi]

i love vevo. i nvr occur any ads when watching videos on vevo. and this song is awesome.

[@nyingma13]

This is a cool band with a very interesting sound; reminiscent of the Cocteau Twins in the instrumentals in a way, and that is a good thing.

[@mariusdeloreanu]

I can't get enough of this song

[@Wrex28]

It looks like they portrayed a weird dream; i get weird dreams all the time, especially while i'm sleeping and hearing music and when i wake up they seem like excellent music videos :P

[@BlackWavez]

@VicyVic777 The video represents the constant struggle through relationships. When the woman is in the trunk it represents the emotional pain which she is feeling, "He broke my heart because I really loved him". At the end of the short film, the couple switches places, resembled how emotional pain affect both partners. (The x's at the end show the many trials that the couple has struggled through) However the lyrics seem to point to more of a relationship in which one is taken advantage of.

[@bluelips501]

I absolutely love this song! (But It reminds me of someone I miss 😣)

I love this songg!

[@ArcOfTheCovenant]

I hear this many years ago on public radio actually. They interviewed them in mpls when they were in town. Think I was in college still. Wanted to go see them at 1st Avenue or cabooze I cant recall which locale. Good times!

[@joiroman7437]

Same bitch 😭😭!!! I just heard it & was like fuckkkk yes

[@icedoatcoffee]

I see this as some sort of game...like their love was all a game. The tying up represents the whole "abducted" aspect. The x's are all of the times he's hurt her heart and abducted it. The whole video is the game of love until, in the end, he dumps her. He breaks her heart, "he took it all away, and left me to bleed out, bleed out."

[@adissinger22]

can't wait to see cults on the 19th in nyc! looking forward to a great show!

Did you tell him

did you finally tell him?

[@luciedanzerova2949]

​@@kaminiandini523 I never did it. But he has a girlfriend and two kids so it probably meant to be. I still think about him from time to time despite it was just a short period of time seeing him. PS: I'm writing from a different account, but it's me!

[@watwillwedonext]

oh wow awesome song for the first time im glad i clicked a featured video :)

[@ThunderKat2012]

Amazon brought me here…I bought this song on MP3 player and go figure They won’t let me redown load it even though I paid for it 💁🏽‍♂️

I really hope these guys come to lowlands. It would complete the festival for me!

[@999godEATgod666]

Love this band, amazing piece of work.

[@chickenbutt1876]

found this song by accident and loved it so much that I searched you guys up and I love your music.

What a great song! Very catchy. The difficulty is going to be getting it out of my head so I can work on some of my own music. Wonderful work!

[@annagibala29]

Very very very goodIt surpasses most music and music videos right now!

[@nfarley01]

@rowrowrosie it's a play on the words of the song. You think he's abducted her, kept her for years since they were young (the scene where they're blowing out matches) and she's fallen out of the back of the truck and is scribbling some final message. But when he offered to let her go she tied him up and 'abducted' him: that is their relationship, and neither of them is letting go. And at the end we see she wasn't scribbling a final note but kisses instead: she loved him.

[@leekduck3929]

this band is going to be so popular

Exactamnete como lo dice Daniele h, aveces en las relaciones abusivas uno no se da cuenta de lo mal de la relación y cualquiera de los dos abusa, con o sin intención de herir, pero al fin y al cabo lo hace... GRAN canción... En lo personal me identifico...

[@TryQuiche]

I have a strange love for the lyrics of this song. They are either rather-shallow face-value indie writing; or rather smart and multi-perspective pop writing

[@illosophie]

I agree, so glad its the first song on their album

[@bobynaz4668]

It’s 2023 and dis still my fav song

[@annasewalson4537]

This music video makes me smile.

[@WiseGuyFTW]

Heard them on Spotify ... Loved this song along with Go Outside.

[@wolfgang6442]

Yea same too

[@VirginiaMichelle]

I see it as couples tend to do this back and forth to each other it's never one person making the other feel trapped it's both. It's a yoyo kind of a relationship so to speak. And in the end i think it expresses how many just give up and lie down to die.

[@kamagaku2]

last year i saw them in foster the people concert as the opener I love them since!

Love the song, and love the video! Maybe its representing how they're stuck in their relationship; and just going around in circles?

[@m3hriban]

It's 2023 and I still think this song is a work of art.

[@Guysspagett]

This song is so damn good, but why, WHY is the intro so freaking quiet compared to the rest of the song? It really makes listening to this hard.
