-- LYRICS --

My monkey mind 
Is drunken
Bitten by a scorpion 
Possessed by demons 
My monkey mind 
Is broken 
Smothered by a python
Possessed by demons 
 
Here I go 
Always crashing into walls 
Think I'll soak my skin and soul
‘Til I can't feel at all
 
My monkey mind 
My agitation 
Is a slow acceleration 
Possessed by demons 
My monkey mind 
My fixation 
No exaggeration 
Possessed by demons 
 
Here I go 
Always crashing into walls 
Think I'll soak my skin and soul
‘Til I can't feel at all 
 
My life on the line 
(Can't feel at all)
My life on the line 
(Can't feel at all)
My life on the line 
(Can't feel at all)
My life on the line 
 
My monkey mind 
My devotion 
Catastrophe in motion 
Possessed by demons 
 
Here I go 
Always crashing into walls 
Think I'll soak my skin and soul
‘Til I can't feel at all
 
My life on the line 
(Can't feel at all)
My life on the line 
(Can't feel at all)
My life on the line 
(Can't feel at all)
My life on the line

After listening to the full album over and over, I have to say this is one of the most powerful songs.

As a Placebo fan since way back in 1998 I could never dream that they would return sounding so fresh, creative and utterly breathtaking. They sounded jaded on LLL and then a huge break from recording. This albums high spots are the best since the turn of the millennium for this band. It's also their most mature work to date and other than WYIN I would argue the best produced in terms of the atmosphere and dark melancholy it creates.

[PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

This song is pure energy. Here I go Always crashing into walls...

[glucksx]

OMG guys what a song, what an album! this is PURE PLACEBO.

[paulfigg]

What an Amazing Album! So focused! Extremely Emotional, concerning, and also Hopeful I believe. 💚♥️💜💚. I’ll never let Placebo go. (Placebo band enthusiast since 1998).

[SnackboxOToole]

Absolutely wonderful energy from this song. Pure Placebo.

[brianbosecke]

Excellent!! Great to hear new Placebo, I'm really enjoying these new tracks.
Even though I'm "old" (almost 60), I grew up in the 60s and 70s, so have enjoyed great music for decades.
Placebo are very underrated

[MadailinBurnhope]

so much aggression and beauty simultaneously on this album

An amalgamation of all their work up to present. I can hear so many elements from various points in time, always distinctly placebo ❤

Those bits when that leading electric guitar kicks in are so powerful!

[TheHijodemona]

All songs of this record are fucking good. The best Placebo.

[morgainelautreamont]

We the ones that love placebo, we all have monkey minds. Sour truth how we feel sometimes. Love it.
