LYRICS:
i didn't show you
i was wearing a porcelain coat
you didn't know me completely
i didn't let you know
i'd excuse myself for five minutes
to rub myself up against a tree
and get this second layer
off of me
i'm tired of living
in this second skin
i want to let everything in
i don't want to compare myself
i don't want to be someone else
i tried so many new and old tricks
to die and self-improve
from divining with dead sticks
to fallen yogi hot moves
but what i found i learned from no
book up on the shelf
is to watch the thief of time
and learn to trick myself
i don't want to leave
my brand new skin
it's made of leaves
it's strong and thin
i waited for it every day
i wake up and it goes away
heaven on earth
is quiet and it's dark
heaven on earth
is daytime in a city park
this apartment building floats
on a humming sea
under the floorboards
under you and me
i don't want to leave
my brand new skin
it's made of leaves
it's strong and thin
i waited for it every day
i wake up and it goes away
i'm never gonna leave
my brand new skin
it's part of me, it's strong and thin
i waited for it night and day
i wake up and i'll stay

How these guys keep churning out phenomenal music is beyond me. One of the most consistent bands out there.

[@CrossFitDelVal]

That's the 'Cold To See Clear' guy!

[@Ryuhza]

Same director for both music videos, too

[@trainelavalais6280]

Yep!! That is him.

[@trainelavalais6280]

That is another song I like by them.

[@Luka11790]

I'll never get tired of Nada Surf... Even as a young person. I was introduced to them by my band teacher and I stay for the addictive melodies and vibes ❤

[@jaimeflor4181]

Looking forward to listening to this in my car tomorrow!

[@luischaves129]

Once again they done it ! What an album ! 🔥❤️

❤ clip et musique à la perfection ce groupe est unique

[@sellophanesun]

Glorious! The guitar hook in the choruses is just perfect!

[@Bikewithlove]

Reminds me of how I pictured Ayn Rand’s book “Anthem,” when I read it for high school English class back in 1985.

[@kafeshop]

....such a hymnic track 4 these sad days ... ThX 4 new LP

[@joostarbrigham2806]

Brilliant new song & film. Love that all the boys have their own little cameo’s, you guys are so incredibly special, a world without you, well I can’t imagine it, Thank You!!..xx

[@efectodoppler_oficial]

Love you guys! Please keep doing this great music cheers🍺

[@emensour78]

good vibes enrobed in profound thoughts delivered in impressionistic words - folks ! youn really are like good wine, getting better with the passing of time ! thank you !

[@thepokekid01]

I didn't expect this video to turn into the prequel to Blade Runner, but it made me think of an ironic AI (Sci Fi) revolution, where the AI sees the value of nature and the earth more than humans, and takes over to keep people from destroying that.

[@OpunktSchmidt1301]

Another Nada-Sorf-song you could listen all day long. And then again and again and again... 😉 Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻

[@tushka27]

Thank you! Humanity in art is essential and lacking in our world. Please keep sharing your music, during this time of detachment and insecurity, you share your authentic voice and art, it is appreciated.

[@dsholt]

Can't wait to hear this live in a few weeks!

[@CoryHawthorneCharmGames]

Man, I'm late to the NS party but I'm sure glad I showed up a couple years ago. What phenomenal power pop. Love it.
