"American Spirit" lyrics
I won’t stop searching till I find it
Lost like memories when I was a kid
Is it in crystals or a sound bath
Or the things I dreamt up but I never did
I’ve looked all over, seeing double
Do I need a single eye
I need a mail order guru like those mail order brides
They say It’s all in meditation
But when I sit still, I’m afraid what I’ll find
Am I gonna get better
Did I drink the Kool-Aid
Am I looking in all the wrong places
Is my body just space
I got that American Spirit
It's searching for what I can’t find
I’m looking in holy rivers
I pray that she’ll show me a sign
If I let go of holding tightly
Will I see Jesus in a stranger tonight?
The devil hides in Coca Cola
But if I’m high will I be more qualified?
Cause in my Elvis Presley record I found the light
And my books say I’m a bad ass for just $12.99
Maybe I’ll trace it to my family
But maybe some things, should be buried alive
I’m giving up
I surrender to you
I’m giving up
I surrender to you

Omfg it's Meg and Dia. I remember listening to Monster as an emo middle schooler.

Yessss like whattt I’m so shocked to see this on my recommended

I know I haven’t listened to them since the Monster days so I was surprised to see this in my recommended. I saw them at Warped Tour back then and got their autograph

Bro saaaaaame

[@RustyShacklefordChannel]

I just want to give props to whoever programmed the movements of that camera rig. Those shot sequences were genius. The zoom in from the floor up, the closeup on her mouth, the slide up the guitar neck, the occasional glace at her chest. The whole thing was just beautifully done. (Also, Dia's acting on her reactions to the camera was so great!)

[@gredangeo]

I like how well, near the end, she made it look she was making it appear like she still singing the lyrics while having that conversation while terrified. Brilliantly done.

[@formoftherapy]

I just went on Apple Music to see if this song was on there and THERE'S A WHOLE ALBUM. GUYS THERE'S A WHOLE ALBUM.

[@RahimRahmat]

Woohoo!!

[@Maculure]

im just glad they’re alive and healthy

[@deerosly]

I'm having fun watching this. I'm here after watching Dia in Jublee's channel.

[@menhirr_]

Me: *trying consistently to suppress all the past emo phase flashbacks and memories* The return of Meg & Dia: *knock knock guess who it is*

[@pennylessz]

Past? I never left. And rhe last couple years have only made me feel justified.

[@samsmusichub]

Let it happen.

[@ihanav.9375]

We Emos are grown up now and we still stan

[@SRQGuitarGuy]

At age 61 I have loved these girls since they released "Here, Here and Here. This is their best Disc yet.

[@liquidSpin]

This song is SOOOO addictive! Saw them live at the Fillmore in MD and Dia had a flu but that didn't stop her from performing and she still sang beautifully!

[@sergelucca635]

Man i haven't heard much about meg and dia since i saw dia in the voice. i was stoked about them back then. until i forgot and . . . NOW?! wow she never disappoints. They are back! One of the great artists of this generation.

[@comabearmusic]

Oh my God. I missed these two so much. I have a drumstick from one of their shows from like 11 years ago or something.

[@roshanfeliciano6050]

This video is like an episode from Black Mirror, I love it! And so happy Meg and Dia is back! 😁

[@nellanellaperched6767]

Can't believe I'm seeing something from you guys

[@ethangilbertmedia]

Roshan Feliciano they legit just made a song Ashley O would make, cool video idea but the song is pure shite they literally went from rock to shitty pop, basically a reverse of what happens in Black Mirror

[@Lan-gx4xh]

Been a fan since preteen years and now I’m in my mid 20s. I’m so happy that Meg & Dia is back, even more happy for you all though. Hope to see you guys in concert again!

[@spinthatmetalfreak]

Woah! I remember listening to these two when I was like 13 haha it's so good to see them making music even after a decade. Talented duo, I hope they keep releasing more!

[@sevenhardsounds]

The song is really different, and I'm glad you made a come back with fresh sound, and the music video had an interestint twist. Can't wait to see more of you. Welcome back, girls! Please never leave us again!

[@wrxhex]

It's pretty generic pop, especially nowadays lol

[@architectsxiii5379]

@@wrxhex this isn't generic pop, stop being a hispter lmao

[@aakar88]

Most welcome comeback of the year.

[@rubymichelle]

I’m so glad they’re continuing to make music! loved Meg & Dia so much growing up. I was lucky enough to meet them at warp tour one year and they’re as gorgeous and sweet as their music! They truly inspired me in so many ways! This has that “we’ve evolved, but we’re still us” feel and I think it’s beautiful! 💜

[@qpphil5150]

not sure why but the part from 2:13 to 2:22 gives me the chills. the bassline and double vocals are superb

[@ch-qd3fj]

THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK MEG & DIA 😭❤️

[@teunissenstefan]

This is honestly a really good video. So good that it distracted me from the song the first time I watched it, so I had to watch it another thousand times and it turns out the song is really good as well

[@happyathiest1564]

Completly melted

[@oddfatherchucky6099]

Can't believe they're making new music ive been a fan since their early days was even a fan of dia's solo music. I'm very excited for more

[@vipe293]

This song has so much Tegan&Sara vibe to it...and I love it...Meg & Dia are one of the few bands who can reinvent themselves without sounding forced...and Dia'a album Bruises has been one of my favorite albums of the last decade

[@xpolarisx]

I saw this in my recs and I had to triple check when this was uploaded. OH MY GOD

[@nunchuksteev9811]

That synth line is brilliant

[@albarr9281]

When robots inevitably take over the world and everything becomes terrible, at least we will still have Meg & Dia's music! Nothing else matters!

[@tsoonot9485]

It's weird if I say meg & dia save me from suiiiciiiid- back in high school? Their music change my mind completely. Specially the album something real. hearing them was so confortable back then. Saludos desde México
