LYRICS:
Hit ‘em with a little bit of dopamine to keep em lookin’
Every second, they’ll be second guessing, trying to meet the
Expectation of the age of information, the simulation
Will be so convincing, they’ll forget that they’re alive
What have I missed since I last checked my phone?
My god, that must have been ten minutes ago!
Ever seeing, but not perceiving
Ever hearing, but never understanding
I can feel it slipping away
My grip on reality’s down to a couple fingers
Living like I’m running a race, though I’ve my doubts
Anyone’s gonna come out the winner
Wake up and break yourself outta here
Don’t be one of the cold souls who disappears
Stop believing and telling the lie
Why don’t you look your life in the eye?
Show a video of a corgi wearing a knitted sweater
Then an advertisement for a pair of shoes that look much better
Than the fourteen they already have, besides they’re vegan leather
They’ll be so delighted they’ll forget that they’re alive
What have I missed since I last checked my phone?
My god, that must have been ten minutes ago!
Ever seeing, but not perceiving
Ever hearing, but never understanding
Giving pieces of me away
My death comes by a thousand cuts, and I paid for the knife
Bleeding for a way to escape my ball and chain
The fatal clutches of father screen time
Wake up and break yourself outta here
Don’t be one of the cold souls who disappears
Stop believing and telling the lie
Why don’t you look your life in the eye?
Wake up and break yourself outta here
Don’t be one of the cold souls who disappears
Stop believing and telling the lie
Why don’t you look your life in the eye?

Nothing gives me more dopamine than an Arcadian Wilds song

[@erock475]

That is ironically called dopamine

[@ruysclan]

The harmonies are so gorgeous, this whole song is. I love it already. When the first harmony came in, my jaw simply dropped. And it feels like someone has reached directly into my chest and touched my heart

[@jonathangilbert2456]

My wife told me a couple of weeks ago, "You must really be into The Arcadian Wild." Every time I was listening to Pandora in the car it was on your channel. Let's just be truthful, with each album you get better and better. Thanks for blessing us with music that matters. I hope to see you in Knoxville in May. If you want to meet for coffee, I would love it.

[@taylorford5437]

The verses with all 3 parts ate like the mind of a person with ADHD. Especially when they all come in together in sync

[@NoahWexler-zb1ej]

lol it really does. Makes my dopamine deficient brain so happy

[@Bloodjen]

I love how the lyrics are layered. Beautiful

[@headofathousandsheepswool]

Memento mori

[@Bloodjen]

@@headofathousandsheepswool Unus Annus my friend

[@jarethaven6391]

Ugh, this song is so painfully true.

[@koutsioj4762]

Another great song, well done! The Arcadian Wild are so underrated

[@S1leNtRIP]

Hitting me with a little more dopamine on my screen...I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FEEL ABOUT THIS...

[@Impleione]

Hah, just this week I was talking about the addictive, dopaminergic nature of social media and the harm it does and stuff - what timing for this song to drop

[@rangerwars3494]

The only thing more addicting than my phone is this song... (Which of course, is currently being listened to, on said phone…)

[@kalmarfanatic04]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Lucy-qj8ui]

I recently found this band, so many amazing songs

[@wittyshenanigans1302]

I fricking love the overlaping voices

[@kaeli]

This song is GOLD. And lyrics? *chefs kiss*

[@hobisbelovedsprite1142]

I am ridiculously proud to say that Lincoln went to my school in his high school years and our chorus teacher invited The Arcadian Wild to come sing for us today. I fell in love with their music and their personalities immediately, I absolute adore them, and I'm super honored to have connected with Isaac (the guitarist) so well, I absolutely LOVED talking to him, he was so sweet and fun to chat with, I hope to see them all again in the future 🫶🫶🫶✨️✨️

[@stuckfart]

gorgeous song. it feels like its talking about me 😅 i didnt realize how dreadful being connected to my phone was until i started taking walks outside and just enjoying the nature we're blessed with.

[@patotouille207]

One of the prettiest songs i’ve heard in a while 😌

[@Absbor]

habe nicht mit einen kanon am anfang erwartet. schönes lied.

[@Abigail_Issler]

Ahhhh!!! Yay!!! There is more coming, I'm so excited! Your music is of such quality and excellence I can't wait to see what this next album will be! :D

[@Chris_winthers]

Lets go new arcadian wild video

[@sgtmajorkiwi]

wake up, new arcadian wild song just dropped

[@emmaswann6041]

YAY! A new song to add to my favorites, listen to constantly, and share with my friends!😚 You guys are some of the best out there! Every new song is an absolute treat!

[@IQ_infection]

"how do i upvote a video more than once?"

[@v.v365]

I love the idea of splitting the parts into different ears when you listen with headphones but tragically hearing two different things distinctly in two ears makes a sort of pain in my ears??? So this song was an unpleasant surprise, but I don’t think it’ll happen when I play it out loud and not with headphones so I can still enjoy it that way 🥲

[@MarkusAldawn]

I believe you can usually set your device to play the audio as if through open air (i.e., it's the same sound in each ear of your headphones) in the settings, by switching it from stereo sound to mono sound.

[@v.v365]

@@MarkusAldawn thank you! I didn’t know that!

[@jobobminer8843]

Stumbled on this song only hours after it dropped and it's so pretty, so fun, and has a nice message. Thanks for sharing your music with me ☺️

[@ibadubh8787]

Great Harmonies and a solid message. Two thumbs up!

[@natea5486]

Can’t wait for the next concert!! Charleston was an amazing performance!!

[@gregschick8558]

Been waiting to see if anyone commented on the JC/Isaiah borrow. “Ever seeing, but not perceiving / Ever hearing, but never understanding.” Brilliant exegesis of that text and inclusion here for what’s important in life. 🎤🫳🏻

[@Cactiivx]

True!! I almost did not catch that one tbh

[@abrilmartinezg5205]

❤

[@samuelbernardo1986]

Lets goooooo!!!

[@tomalbaitis5931]

I love this song so much! You guys were amazing in Grand Rapids, MI last week!

[@Galaxie.Cosplay]

This songs feels likes how I feel when I dissociate for hours while on my phone.

[@athanoneill4568]

@The Arcadian Wild Great song I can't wait for your next album (speaking of which when does it release). Also what type of mandolin do you use and what tuning do you use.

[@jcwaugh]

So good guys!

[@Kaeldra3]

gorgeous song

[@lindagassmann61]

Omg! Love it guys!!!! You've done it again ❤🎉

[@heartdice2512]

the song is giving dopamine :D

[@bogusbrains7813]

Beautiful!

[@joapo]

good

[@ht1831]

This is incredible!

[@H-Vox]

I'm at you guys' show watching you play this right now lol

[@rui_7575]

Anyone knows a song similar to this? Like the harmonies and the soft instruments? This is so good, bro.

[@possumprince]

i might recommend "counting sheep" by the crane wives, though it's a bit more energetic of a song than this. i'm pretty sure the oh hellos also have a few songs like this (especially in their older albums) but i can't remember which ones for sure.

[@rui_7575]

@@possumprince Thanks! I think Oh Hellos has some like Where is You Rider or There Beneath. This one is kinda similar to One by Birdtalker too.

[@just_a_platypus]

I second the Crane Wives and the Oh Hellos. For TCW I think Little Soldiers and October and fairly similar to this, and possibly Shallow River? Thus Always to Tyrants by the oh hellos has a similar bouncy feel to this as well, but a bit more intense.

[@janus9371]

A banger as always!

[@FearoftheLord]

This is so good! Are you guys going to publish the song about your dad? I keep watching an old Facebook recording. Keep up the great work!

[@madelynvulk6548]

I know I did not just get hit with Arabesque No. 1 in the Mandolin solo
