LYRICS
Like harmonies, locks in keys
Lightning in every drop
We're tricked again, lost at sea
When we find land can I climb your tree?
I know it's hard to see, oh
I wanna believe what you're saying
But I'm seeing the game that you're playin'
Oh, I kn-kn-kn-kn-kn-kn-kn-know
What I'm gonna d-d-d-d-d-do
Kn-kn-kn-kn-kn-kn-kn-know what I'm gonna d-d-d-d-d-do
Oh no, I meant
I'm at the wrong place at the wrong time
They're attracting all the wrong people to the wrong line
I do not want to see the whole mess
I wish I could live in retrospect
Five steps
Remember them well
As you're coming down, down the well
You drop five-hundred tons of hell
You are everything I see
Every time I blink, despair
Who's asleep at the wheel?
They fight for every meal
Who likes that bad idea?
You
Undo
What I feel, qualia
What I am, qualia
Wait, wait
No, I don't want it
No, I don't want it
Oh man
What are we doing now?
All I know are instincts
You are everything I see
Every time I blink, despair
Lock the doors and hide the keys
And wake the doctor, call a priest
Born out of electricity, I wait for you in the second life
Who's asleep at the wheel?
Who likes that bad idea?
Who wants a Happy Meal?
Ooh
You are everything I see
Every time I blink, despair
I will take what I can grab, but I, I don't want your money bags
Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh
What else can I say
What else can I say
What else can I say tonight?

For those who maybe cannot understand the meaning of THE EGG INSIDE THE GLASS at the end of video, it's something very common in latin American countries it is an old ritual which is used to figure out what kind of illnesses a person has by rubbing a not broken egg over the whole body from the head to the feet and after that the priest breaks the egg and places it on plate then asks his or her patient to put a hand there and mix the yolk and the white part of it after that puts the mixture into a glass and according of the signs, the shapes, the bubbles the priest can check what kind of illnesses does his patient have or what will happen in his future it's something extremely common on people who lives in the mountains.

very late to the party but I love this song too much to just like on spotify and needed to express my love in a higher degree , this song is the very definition of beauty for me and I thank The Voidz everyday for it.

I saw this live, I'm star struck just reading these lyrics now. I made my own interpretation of the song and always liked it, but I now see how powerful the lyrics are and it makes me sad how late I am to this masterpiece video.

[@WhitestWaters]

I admit, I cried, especially because of the pointless animal cruelty and how we justify it with entertainment. Just after that at 5:28 there is a couple dancing and the music slows... Love the intensity on their faces, like they are really living. Really beautiful video. Also liked how at one point there were people flogging themselves and it coincided with the lyrics "oh man, what are they doing now?!" 😂

[@shamashgokturk496]

Be it with The Strokes, or be it the super apocalyptic band of these fresh fucking punks; Julian knows exactly what the human condition requires to feel itself beyond its mortal frames and immoral functions! I for myself now avow every ounce of air that fills my lungs to this trait! And as for this Tyranny, these fires have been existent for as long as I could remember living. Solace, as for now, is only in the full scale resurrection of this nerve igniting upheaval!
