Lyrics:

I never wanted to be main character
Pretty fucked up there in the light
I’d rather sit at the kitchen table and
just start to hitch hike

Maybe to me other stories are more interesting
Maybe to me they’re a mirror back on everything

So much bigger, bolder, braver than I’ll ever be

Take a walk with me through these lives
I’m your friend, your lover and your traitor
Take a walk with me through my mind
But I’m an unreliable narrator
I’m your unreliable narrator

There ain’t no god up above
just these hounds of love
We’ve heard every story before
Genius minds.
All these fights just to live a life
What’s the motive?
and what we here for?

David talked about daily trenches of adult life
I’m still hypnotised by the voices inside my mind
When I should sit down, shut up
Listen… just listen… be humble round these stories

Take a walk with me through these lives
I’m your friend, your lover and your traitor
Take a walk with me through my mind
But I’m an unreliable narrator
I’m your unreliable narrator
Can you trust me?
Do you trust me?

So the cliche says “history repeats itself ”
Well here we go again
Yeah cliche says “history repeats itself ”
Well here we go again

Take a walk with me through these lives
I’m your friend, your lover and your traitor
Take a walk with me through my mind
But I’m an unreliable narrator

You're setting an unrealistic standard for what I'm now expecting from all my emails

[ethanmilton]

Sometimes Dan releases a song that doesn't feel like it's trying to blow up or garner a giant following, but just as an intimate experience for his existing community and this feels like one of them. I love it.

"I'm your friend, your lover and your traitor. Take a walk with me through my mind but I'm an unreliable narrator."
Heartbreakingly beautiful.
Happy Bastille day!!!!

[Whoknows-ty]

Bastille having an existential crisis sounds beautiful

[Magnificent_Mo]

The continuing saga in Dan attempting to drown himself

[themagictntpenguin]

Bastille is one of the most consistently good bands out there

[AnonyBaguette]

I knew signing up for that mailing list wasn’t for nothing.

[izbow]

as soon as those aye aye aye ayes started i knew i was going to be HOOKED

[lauragraziani]

It reminded me of the "Doom Days" album. It's just perfect.

[bluecheeseshampoo]

If this is what the next album will be like, I’m all in

[ongmingrui]

Bastille is such a great yet underrated band. What they lack is proper marketing. This song is supposed to hit 10mil on the first day release.

[simeonwindeth]

As Bastille evolves, the sound never strays far if at all from what makes this band my favourite of all time. Dan is forever a beautiful person and soul.

[salty-porridge]

Let it speak for itself that I find floating alone in an open ocean like this absolutely terrifying but I only feel calmness when watching this

[who_is_arnob]

"Filmed in the Bermuda Triangle in one take" successfully impressed us dude tfff

[purq]

I love the deviation from the music they usually make. this song feels so much softer, and I am here for it

[rosettevidette]

This song is all I want to listen to, please put it on Spotify asap 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[MarcusVinicius]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BRILLIANT, GENIUS AND TALENTED DANIEL SMITH

[poliscigirl]

1. Happy birthday Dan!!
2. Thank you for doing this via mailing list, with other social networks you always exclude some people but EVERYONE has email so that’s amazing
3. You entering your folk/acoustic era at the same time as me apparently, love that for us

[KeeDiggity]

DAN, WE ARE MEANT TO GIVE /YOU/ GIFTS ON YOUR BIRTHDAY NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!!

[reginap.]

I will never be over what a ridiculously talented songwriter and storyteller you are.
