Chorus
Don’t let my ghost drag you down
If you don’t see me around
It doesn’t mean that I fell, yeah I’m doing well
I got some roses to smell
I hope you smile when I’m gone
It means I had the strength to move on
To find another story to tell, to answer the bell
I got some roses to smell
Verse 1
when magic’s happening my habit’s been coiling up a memory and trappin it right
in the cavity of my ribs, like the doors of a cabinet might
but you won’t hold onto a shadow just by grabbing it tight
set it free and let it back in the light
never out of my heart, even when out of my sight
leaving is s'posed to be hard
Man I thought it so was selfish of people I love to keep falling out of my life
But now I know
No I don’t take it personal
If you got a really lovely place to go
I will chase my goals
yeah, to make me whole
Cause it’s urgent we love and be loved I’ve begun to scrub up with detergent to shine up my soul
Chorus
Verse 2
cause every screen the we tap is screaming that bigger is better, better is how you make yourself matter, but matter is fleeting am I living to feed a machine that I’m blind to see
no point in hiding my pride if there’s no privacy
I’ve already dedicated too much of my time to trying to get my followers up
and crying out for attention and sleeping around to mend a hollow crater inside of me
knowing well that it don’t mean shit
going to the well for another cheap dopamine hit
I’m done being a bitch to ambition, I’m already rich
I got a head that’s full of million dollar questions
and the length of it, is I don’t need the courage to work I want the strength to quit

[@gwatsky]

Despite the imagery, this video wasn’t conceived as an homage to Chester Bennington-the animation was being developed well before he passed away. The demons that he was wrestling were powerful, but I think live, for some degree, in all of us. We all go through despair, self-doubt, wondering whether our efforts are worth it. I certainly have. At the very least, there’s togetherness in that. If you’re wrestling with those questions, and trying to figure out whether you want to be here, this song suite is for you. I hope you decide to stay.

[@Agentlefox]

Nearly 5 years on and X infinity is still one of my favorite albums conceptually and in experience, and the Lovely Things Suite continues to tap into a deep well of emotion and catharsis when I need it most. Its all just so well crafted

[@jadenfragoso6746]

I live for these music videos. The fact that you are so dedicated that you'll release a music video for each song and they'll all be fantastic and unique in their own way is incredible. Thank you for being the best rapper in the game.

[@gwatsky]

thanks for this comment jaden. i literally have put everything, time and money, into seeing this vision for the album realized. i put my whole heart into this and i appreciate it so much when people see what i'm going for.

[@floppypotter3941]

I saw the music video for whoa whoa whoa about a year ago... I've listened to every song at least 5 times

[@powerstation0872]

Watsky isn't even in the game. He's an artist through and through. He's on his own level entirely.

[@NikohSimonds]

I've never disliked a Watsky track. I have come to notice if you don't think a song is good by him, your just not at the right part of life for it yet. P.S. Especially since I just lost my grandfather. I have a great appreciation for Part 1, which I didn't feel the first time but now I've been looking a bit more. Spending more time with my Father and family. I'm 23 so I feel I should have felt it sooner but Thank you Watsky for saving me before it's to late.

[@meganmorris3319]

This song has helped me handle the deaths of 2 family members, the poetry and heart in the lyrics feel like a safe space to me now. Watsky if you ever see this I'm eternally grateful and wish you the best

[@pomtubes1205]

Mix poetry with music and you get Watsky's rap style.

[@babybenz6633]

Rap literally means rhythm and poetry

[@otterhero6229]

[@TheJulez91]

Watsky. Don't know if you'll ever read this comment. I love your music beyond description. I've listened to X Infinity so many times since I found out about it. The first few times I just enjoyed the music, but then I REALLY started listening to the lyrics and I started to feel the lyrics. After a while, I could feel the words piercing my soul and my heart and I just cried and cried, listening to- and feeling the pain. Translating the words into feelings I've had and still have the past couple of months. I can't listen to the Lovely Thing Suite song's without having to try really hard to hold back the tears. Just the music alone is breathtaking, and the words take the rest and it just breaks me. You are so talented, and I honestly envy you with all my heart that you can put your heart, soul and mind into words with such elegance and rythm. I'm a dude and I think I'm in love with you. No homo.

[@hahahahahjocelyn9849]

yeah. it's so funny how he makes stuff like this and then there's 'Going Down', lol

Man. I'm so glad we get visuals for all (most??) of this album. Fantastic work. Beautiful song and video

He said on Twitter that he's releasing the rest of the music videos soon. Every three weeks after today. He posted this yesterday: twitter.com/gwatsky/status/903367512808611840

[@CosmicDrift420]

Literally my favorite watsky song. Wish I had told him that when I met him. Was at the end of the meet and great line in Madison Wisconsin. Watsky has made a huge impact on me. Sending good vibes!!!

[@EllaKop]

I heard you for the first time when "Sloppy Seconds" randomly played on Pandora quite a while ago. I stopped what I was doing, checked the artist, and I've been listening to your music ever since. Its evident that you put so much heart into all your music. So grateful to have an artist to relate to and vibe to no matter what I'm feeling. Thank you so much for that💕✌🏻

[@cypress21601]

This is probably one of my favorite songs ever written.

[@kyleweiss9560]

as somebody who hasnt listened to Watsky's music in well over 5 years, im absolutely blown away by how much he's progressed as a musician, an artist, a storyteller, a poet, whatever you wanna call it. He's totally evolved into his true epic form and i fricken dig it

[@lenseofhiphop]

I saw him in concert in Portland, Oregon when he was on his world tour. And got some Watsky t shirts and a hard copy of his album. It was soo worth it. I enjoyed every minute. I highly recommend seeing him when he goes on tour. Worth it!!! Wasn't even that expensive.

[@AlijandroReed]

I swear, everyone of these animated music videos made me feel more about the song. Like I knew the lyrics were some heavy stuff, but seeing it visually really makes you feel it. The hand dragging him down during the chorus particularly got me in this one. I am glad you did this.

[@kloebunnie7004]

What a fucking masterpiece

[@EliteFreak71]

After watching all of the lovely thing suite I'm appalled by how incredible of an artist watsky is and how beautiful this series is I honestly have no idea if this or tiny glowing screens is better but some of the best music I've ever heard and probably ever will

[@sophiahasissues3646]

This is beautiful. Your music has helped me through bouts of depression and suicidal thoughts numerous times in my life. Thank you for always being there.

[@bowkenpachi7759]

One thing I’ve learned about this X Infinity album is that it’s all about the myriad of ways to try to overcome your own depression. From not being nice, to becoming an addict (sex or drugs, it doesn’t matter which), to attempting to take your own life and realising that you were better off alive… The entire album holds so much power - and I thank Watsky every day that I have had his music to see me through. Doubt I’d be here without the wisdom he’s bestowed upon us through his lyrics

[@f-typetypebeat9530]

Those animations are so beautiful Great Song, great Video greetings from Germany 🔥

[@CLAWBALLZ]

Felix Krammer I agree fam, butnof course it's watsky ♡ I found this cool rapper that you might find dope. Check him out kzbin.info/door/v1fIwkkAcJ1On0idjXdoAw Good vibes all round, stay blessed xx

[@brendonwhatley]

AHHHHH my favourite song off of x infinity!!

[@Ri_Guy]

This was a fantastic song and your comment as well. Also, despite the fact that free will allows us to stay or leave, what's currently subsiding in our current day society is staying. People don't stay anymore, they move. And I don't mean that they leave either, they simply search for greener grass, which is what we should all do. Then again, transforming the world around you to make your environment greener is another way to make sacrifices for you to enjoy your stay here.

[@pazz]

I've been waiting for this ever since part 1! My favourite track on x Infinity!

[@chrisenops7926]

Watsky, you have helped me through a lot of hard times, and made me want to stick around for awhile. I appreciate how you're a musician who actually means what they say. Your lyrics are some of the most real lyrics that I have heard. I would just like to thank you for making all of the sacrifices that you have made to let us hear your music.

[@sangoluvsmiroku4eva]

Damn, major props to the animators upping their game on this one!!!

[@JustMe-mk4dj]

Wow this has by far become my favorite song of yours. Just wow

[@tinaits.507]

A thing I love about George Watsky's songs is that it is NEVER even CLOSE of what I expected.

[@ZSchrink]

The amount of passion you have for your craft is amazing. It comes through in everything I've seen you do. It really is inspirational ❤️ The message and artwork in this are beautiful, thank you!

[@ame4fame18]

WATSKY! I find myself listening to this on repeat, recalling what is feels like to be under those waters. Thinking about what family and friends might feel, and it makes me recall the ones I've lost on this journey to their own demons.The peace they longed for towards the end. The fact that your music can do this, is extraordinary. Thanks for finding a way to put such and intangible feeling into a medium the external world can experience.

[@nurbat]

i love how the beginning of the video is always the end of the last. these have become my life, they’re so beautiful

"Lovely Thing Suite Pt 4: Theories" as soon as you can, please!

[@xwongx]

One of my all time favorite watsky tracks

[@ImMimicute]

god damn this is good, I've always been a little sceptical of you're newest album, never bad, just vaguely uncomfortable with the introspection, but i really like this. add to that the incredible animation, will be coming back to this one a lot

[@Jackers114]

Can’t wait for the “Theories” video, it’s probably my second favorite in the suite, besides Knots.

[@anthonyh404]

Just discovered Watsky. Holy fuck I'm blown away. Now I have 10 years of his discography to catch up on. Amazing art.

[@jennifere2270]

my friend and I are both pretty *sad* people, and we'll often just have long chats about death and depression and suicide because we don't know how to talk about anything normal. I started listening to Watsky a couple years ago, but just this last year I introduced this friend to xInfinity, and after listening to it a couple times through, we talked about it and both agreed that he gets it. Things like suicidal thoughts and tendencies, dealing with depression and anxiety and others around you at the time, its all represented so well in the notes and the lyrics and the tempo, you can feel the emotion of it all so well and empathize and think "someone else gets it too" and its absolutely beautiful how its done. All of Watsky's music is simply incredible, but this album is especially important to the both of us. Watsky is amazing and certainly deserves more credit.

[@devCatffeine]

This is my skooma!!!!!

[@InstrucTube]

Well, I had shit to do today, but now I'm just sitting here crying, so... guess that's out. Thanks Watsky, great vids, great music. I appreciate it.

My favorite song. I got the window tattooed this year. Thank you Watsky.

[@deadskink7517]

George... This was just so beautiful. Your music never fails to leave deep emotions in my heart after a listening. the chester bit at the end really struck me hard though. I hope he now rests in peace.

[@iquemedia]

This has to be my favorite song in the lovely things suite, and is competing with talking to myself for best song on the album Love ya George keep it up❤

[@susserylesussers5477]

thanks ERB for introducing us Watsky. We would've never be able to see these gems if it werent for you guys.

[@bmarzke]

Thank you WATSKY! No matter what message you're trying to deliver, you always do so in such a big and beautiful way. Your songs always put me in a good mood even when the subject matter isn't necessarily cheerful. You always deliver to your fans and stay true to yourself, the kind of entertainer that is in short supply these days!

[@AnHeC]

This is unbelievably good. I have no idea how it isn't more popular.

[@arcTheslayer]

Chesyer tweeted about how good X infinity was, I didnt knew anything about Watsky at the time, decided to listen to it and the album was amazing, one of my favorites ever, Chester was inspiration for me, it saddened me a lot for him to go the way he did, he gave me a lot including Watsky who is now someone who also inspires me to improve, Chester, Thanks for everything

[@half3613]

Watsky all up in my head

[@Wolf21973]

Yes! A video to my favorite song off the new album and possibly my all time favorite from you! Great video and amazing song! I love the dedication to Chester. I hope to one day meet you in person at another one of your concerts. I've been to two and still haven't be able to. Love you Watsky!

[@QMIHA]

Your music is sensational, been a fan ever since I saw pale kid raps fast many many years ago, I love everything you produce, from your songs to your poetry, and even your book was remarkable. Thank you for putting so much effort into making everything you do amazing, keep up the good work!

[@brennenlaforest8545]

Honestly I love your music, I've been a fan for as long as I can remember. I'm so lucky to have seen you at Warped Tour in Saint Pete a couple years back. You're a great artist, keep it up you're an inspiration to all of us also we love u

One of my favorite albums, ever. I am not a big hip-hop guy, but this album slays my ears. Watsky leaves us hanging at the end with his epic cutoff, but still good stuff. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@Leftoversalad]

I know you don't have time to read all of these, but you mean a lot to me watsky. People talk about singing about real shit but I feel like you really get me personally. Like you wrote half your songs for me personally, and I would be a lot worse off without your motivation. I remember seeing 'watsky raps fast' like a decade ago and I've been hooked since.

This video has honestly brought tears to my eyes.. when ever i would meet people or even my friends i show watsky just because of how sureal he can be. And down to earth, granted i showed these videos to my girlfriend, we both loved the second video of this series. But then she left for boarding school a few months ago, and just watching this realizing that i may not get to enjoy it with her just brought tears to my eyes. Watsky has been an inspiration aswell as a mastermind with how he holds himself and his career. Thanks for letting everyone experiance the music you make.
