-- LYRICS --
I’m gonna find another island
And get the hell out of here
I need a change of environment
So I can disappear
‘Cause I've been visible too long
I want another life
My self-esteem is coming on
But I need a little time
I'm gonna hire me a pilot
To drop me at your door
Then I'll consult a psychiatrist
To understand what for
‘Cause I've been quizzical too long
I want another life
My friends and relatives are gone
And I need a little time
(Time)
No use crying when there's still a place to go
And time, time to make it so
(Time)
No use crying when there's still a place to go
And time, time to make it so
I'm gonna find another island
Get the fuck out of here
I'm sentimental and violent
So I should disappear
‘Cause I've been risible too long
I want another life
And I know I'm not the only one
Who needs a little time
(Time)
No use crying when there's still a place to go
And time, time to make it so
(Time)
No use crying when there's still a place to go
And time, time to make it so

I don’t know if any of you share this feeling with placebo songs, but they always appear at the right time. This song hits so hard bc I’m going through this feeling. The timing, the whole album, idk everything is so wonderful

[@KD-wh3ky]

Absolutely agree superb

[@mariluuu3371]

Exactly was I was thinking, glad I'm not the only one

[@devayany]

This happened every time....)

[@TheDan40]

Same thing

[@moonraven6669]

Same here.

[@j.s.173]

"No use crying when there's still a place to go And time, time to make it so." Most powerful line of the entire album.

[@andres.moreras]

And ironically makes me cry af😣

[@umagrandecagalhada]

so fucking true!

[@rafaelgaleano8974]

dude this songggg is is WOW

[@alexandrewalnier2313]

Best song of the album.

[@leoneee9135]

It’s true

[@michax4995]

When he sings "No use crying when there's still a place to go " is when I want to cry the most

[@daolso9268]

But you cant because he says no use

[@honeyandthebee245]

Oh Placebo, right when the world is a bloody mess, you give us music that puts a smile on our faces and a ray of hope. Thank You!

[@SaulmanPhishbass]

You can thank neoliberalism, socialism, Marxism, and communism for this beautiful planetary mess!

[@hailiejade349]

This is probably my fav song of the album. I'm not necessarily sharing the feelings now, but I have so many times and I'm sure I will feel them some time in the future too. Placebo is one of the deepest bands, in my opinion. Love them so much!

[@Norseman4]

'Chemtrails' turned out to be the best song on the album for me. I love it. It might very well be one of the top 10 of all time, maybe even top 6. I need to let the dust settle a little before I know for 100 % certain.

[@adamknight7041]

This and Fix Yourself are both amazing and the best 2 on the album; Forever Chemicals, Happy Birthday In The Sky, Surrounded By Spies and Went Missing are all brilliant aswell, love the Sleeping With Ghosts vibe of the latter "Secret Destroyers Keep Away" giving off "Soulmates Never Die" nostalgia ❤️

[@MrNomadSpectre]

This! I never thought a new album of any band after a so long carreer in the music industry and in that case Placebo could affect me in such a way. Most of late albums of all my favorite bands come out as blunt and I can sympathise in a sense as they grew out of their usual sound and musical identity. But in this case Placebo overcomposed a union of sounds and emotions and experiments over a simplified litany of their classic sound. And this track is everything that I never hoped I would get from listening to their album. So yeah, I get you. It's there. In the top 5 easily! I would dare say it might even be their single most powerful song.

[@Norseman4]

@@MrNomadSpectre Neh. It's not their number 1. 'Follow the Cops Back Home' is by far the single greatest song ever made. It is pure eargasm. 'Pierrot the Clown', 'This Picture', 'Meds' (the calm Angkor Wat version), 'Twenty Years' ... Oh man, the list goes on and on !! Placebo are the best. I think maybe I'm landing on 'Chemtrails' somewhere around 5th or 6th, give or take. Anyway, each to their own. If you you liek this above all others, then it's a good choice.

[@natalja86]

Same here! I've been Placebo fan for a long time and I was pretty sceptical about the new album but it turned out beautiful and Chemtrails is definitely one of top songs for me from all Placebo creations

[@placebo_girl]

😢😢I'm going through very hard divorce ..this song send me a BIG MESSAGE

[@morgainelautreamont]

Beyond words. Every song embodies all is important to recognise now. After each tragedy we need time to heal. If you have time and you are here keep loving and fighting. Find another life/island, heal, build a sense and purpose. Love it. My fave now. Thanks placebo, 10000000000, thanks.

[@MUFCM16ORA]

Well said. It's an incredible album.

[@diegovera5801]

They should play it at concerts! I need the live version

[@TheRobot1968]

Nai re file!!!

[@zoricastojanova2765]

What I love about this band is that we get to mature with them. It's like we get to share all our life phases with them, through their songs. What once was Teenage angst or Meds, now it's Chemtrails...

[@diogeneslantern18]

Sorry but this is not good. It is a hollow husk of what Placebo used to be. This feels so uninspired.

[@andrewfowler5845]

What is your favorite song on here?

[@gustavoschnurr1907]

@@diogeneslantern18 Hollow? What are you talking about? This song is amazing.

[@IvanSpaziano-ko5cv]

Agree it's always their same style within their same messages, after 30 years, but it's just at all becomed more old and more conscious how message, from the whole band.

[@ryanellison6118]

These guys are not affected by age. Their songs are still perfect

[@foglias]

Placebo music is timeless and will never die. Or maybe just when we grow fins and go back in the water...

best song on the album!

🎶And I know I'm not the only one Who needs a little time 🎼 Yes, you're not the only one. No word... Just "stream of consciousness" 💜

[@limesshot]

This song hits differently. So relatable, Placebo at its best! Like The Bitter End- this song brings so much emotions, gives me hope that I am not the only one feeling that way. I hope you are all good Placebo fans.

[@marcosorressa]

best song on the album, the distressing mood belongs to the meds era

[@marcochiereghin55]

Spectacular arrangement

[@Julia.Douglas-Mann]

This is such a beautiful album

[@AcapulKero]

this is a real masterpiece

[@MrKutKuGaruga96]

Found this song yesterday and now I cant stop to listeting to it. The rhythm, the lyricis... theres something that just makes me keep on listening and feel sad too, specially because right now im going trough something very painful, very emotional

[@rachelnewyorktruth2564]

I love their progressions. A refreshing thing aways happens on the fifth measure.

[@mitarjo2466]

Probably the best song in last 8 years of music, thanks Brian, thanks Stefan

[@swalectrix]

This band just seem to keep staying relevant. Great stuff as usual

[@AlexeyRiva]

Definitely the best song of the album. Do you too feel nostalgia while listening it?

[@hope120607]

Yes, which song it reminds me of?

[@jamesmitchell5126]

Yeah my favourite too

[@iscantonlome]

Yes

[@andreitarkovsky3214]

no

[@Sharon_L_W]

Very much so. 2:39 the guitar is very shoegazey.. very 80s/90s. This whole album pays homage to Sonic Youth and The Cure. Quite beautiful how Brian keeps those styles and influences alive and is probably helping teach younger generations what real music is :)

[@skylaninaction]

Such an incredible song. One of my new favourites, 100%. Lyrics hit hard and are extremely personal, makes me emotional if I focus on them every time

[@mitarjo983]

Yep, my favourite song of every band in the last 2 years. Thanks Brian and Steve

[@JoannaBe-kw9tn]

When I heard this song for the first time tears of relief started flowing from me. Your music creates hope in this cruel and selfish world and the whole album is the best therapy in years. Thank you Placebo.

Als ich das erste mal James hörte genau das gleiche😂

[@nfn35]

Great album. This is my fav song right now.

[@hortegat]

pourquoi cette chanson me fait penser aux années 80? ET j'adore! Love Placebo!

[@ady123181]

This album is absolutely amazing, it may actually replace sleeping with ghosts and witout you I'm nothing as my favorite placebo album.

[@adamknight7041]

It's probably musically more complex then either of those album's but the songs whilst they no doubt grow on you just aren't as immediate and anthemic.

[@adamknight7041]

It's definitely at least on par with the previous best work.

[@ladeluff_]

OH that hits so hard! Wonderful timing. oustandig and possibly their best album. (Norwegian fan since 1999

[@andreafarci4051]

Masterpiece 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@mitarjo2466]

I used to think that "Prodigal" was the best track, but the more i listen to "Chemtrails" the more i'm getting involved. Yes, "Chemtrails" is the best song, not only of this album, but it's also a best song in last 3-4 years, of all bands

[@frederiquecussatlegras3928]

Écoutez cette chanson à fond ça va torture les oreilles et le ❤️ lol ds le bon sens

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

What a wonderful song. I find it perfect in every way. And in some ways it reminds me of the sound of the beloved Sonic Youth.

[@nancyboy_]

escucharla en vivo fue la experiencia más liberadora que he tenido en el año

[@benjamin8876]

One of the best songs on the album

[@motse108]

Now I m sure somewhere along the way placebo sold their souls so they would make masterpieces always ! Thank you for everything ..!

[@CharlyRae69]

some time has passed since I fell in love with this album and pretty much all of its songs, but something about this song made itself a home in me and stayed... thank you placebo, you are a truly special band and your music is always beautiful to me. 🖤

[@brunagomes4333]

I loved that one! It hits me here in my heart. I have this moments with my depression, that I just need to be isolated, alone... Even when it's not exactly a bad time. But I need time and space to a little heal. Thank you for this song! ❤️

I adore this band! Been waiting for this album . Surrounded by spies is my anthem! Im so happy to see real music again. Life is so strange and fake we needed this album we have been hearing to feel like we're heard. Im heard im happy to scream these lyrics all over downtown. Dead fly on the national anthem

[@Vic20294]

ce titre ? il parle de quoi au juste est-ce de la géo-ingénierie ?

[@LaetitiaEvalia]

@@Vic20294 C'est une chanson sur le dégout du Brexit et l'envie de quitter le RU. 'Chemtrails', ça serait pour les traces laissées par les avions dans le cie j'imaginel. Ce qu'en dit Brian : "Chemtrails est ma chanson sur le Brexit pendant le lockdown, je sentais que cette sorte de malheur imminent arrivait, et ce malheur imminent était le Brexit, vous savez, l'effet qu'il a eu sur chaque groupe dans ce pays a été très bien documenté. Donc en décembre 2020, je me suis retrouvé brutalisé psychologiquement par les démons jumeaux du coronavirus et du Brexit. Et j'étais tellement furieux et en colère que ça me rendait malade. Et j'ai décidé que je devais arrêter de vivre dans le problème et commencer à vivre dans la solution. Donc en février 2021, je suis partie et je ne vis plus ici. Je vis en Europe et je reviens ici pour le travail et Chemtrails était en quelque sorte mon "f*ck you". Mon "f*ck you" aux gens qui m'avaient en quelque sorte enlevé une partie de mon identité, une identité que j'ai passé toute ma vie à habiter et qui était d'être européen. J'ai donc quitté l'Angleterre à cause du Brexit et j'ai réécrit les paroles de cette chanson qui est devenue Chemtrails et qui parle de mon départ de cette île pour en trouver une autre où la société est un peu plus libre et moins chauvine, xénophobe et sociopathe.
