Lyrics
They put me in a cage
To see what happens when
You put one in a cell
Without an escape plan
If I lose my mind
Before the first attempt
I’ll never be free again
The walls are made of glass
And they’re hard as stone
Come on take some pictures
With your high-end phones
Give me all your love
And share it with your friends
I’ll never be free again
I have all these dark dreams
They come down like concrete
For your entertainment
I’ll name it to tame it
Don’t turn the lights off
I barely understand
What I know
Is all quicksand
As the rain blows
Through the curtains
I am turning to set my eyes on you
Woke up next to you
I’ll name it to tame it
I hear a million voices
Laughing indiscreet
It’s how they enjoy
The blood spilled on the screen
Hey man, I've washed my face
I've kept my costume clean
I’m not a part of the scene
But all I thought I knew
Has been turned upside down
I don’t have a clue
What it means to drown
And what I mean to you
I’ll never figure out
All the noise in here got way too loud
We close a deal
In the ink-blue dawn
All is revealed now
We can’t be harmed
Soon I am leaving
Soon I’ll be gone
I don’t need reasons
To be alone

So excited, just bought tickets to see these kids in Philly. I'm 60 and dragging my husband along😂I think we may be a wee bit out of place but I don't care. As long as I don't get trampled.

[@huntermccurry427]

I'm so glad i randomly discovered this band!! I'm completely mesmerized by the live rookery tapes. the way they are recorded is so intimate and artistically masterful. so much talent amongst these guys its so impressive

[@insanecrusher926]

the vocal range on this kid is unreal

[@ICONicDirectionette]

I discovered them today and I’m left with no words. They’re out of this planet.

[@juanjulian429]

I can not describe how important for me they and their songs are

[@johnunderwood3132]

I think that the German accent is what I love. The pronunciation is so beautiful to my ears. I am mesmerized by it. Just love it

[@lukeiscoolverycool]

2 years ago in Amsterdam I high fived Finn after the concert for doing a solid awesome job with the guitar. After seeing this video, I think its time for another high five. This time for the whole squad. Bloody brilliant. Might even watch it again while I'm waiting for my cup of tea to cool down.

[@headofathousandsheepswool]

I saw someone wearing a shirt that only said 'what I know is all quicksand' on the streets of Germany. Typed it on my notes app. Glad I did.

[@giuliae.6198]

I need this NOW.

[@ninimiee]

You can really sense how deeply they love making music. Exceptional. One of my all-time favorite songs and I couldn’t be more happy to have experienced this in concert <3

[@vidhikhanna1886]

Their music is so raw and original. The sound is ever-evolving but it somehow still makes me feel nostalgic.

[@hannabadr9893]

Ich komme ja mal gar nicht mehr klar! Diese Version ist schlicht und ergreifend der absolute Wahnsinn. I‘m crying

[@merrylynnallison6922]

I'm 65 and I listen to this band every night before bed. The harmonies, the lead singer, are simply fantastic.... Please consider coming to Vancouver BC Canada to do a concert at BC Place, we'd LOVE to have you.

[@JuneRacoon]

I love how happy he looks while singing

"What I Know Is All Quicksand Lyric"

[@darkmakelaar]

Two years ago, I discovered this song while stuck in a toxic marriage. Listened to it on repeat because I felt like the lyrics embodied my experience perfectly.

[@linus350]

Absolute Gänsehaut! So schön zu sehen was Menschen komplett selber ohne Computer kreieren können :)

[@lizat9397]

Alter Jungs. Mein Herz!

[@yarenkurtoglu327]

Look at all the comments! All very well.😍 I feel like such a proud mama right now.😭 That's giving me goose bumps! I cry, that's all.

[@sophiab1327]

Oh fuck, diese EP wird so so gut 🥰🥰🥰
