Circa Survive - Electric Moose (Official Music Video)

"I really love this song. It actually came together after we were finished the writing process. The other songs were sent off to mastering already. This one came together very organically and we loved it so much we had to include it. It's really unlike anything we've written before. The lyrics for it started out as a poem about domestic abuse and someone trapped in a relationship but trying holding onto the thought of how it was before things became violent." - Anthony Green

LYRICS
Don’t think twice about yourself
You left out some important detail
I would appreciate an explanation
You make it seem like you’re the good guy all the time

Every ear will listen as you stumble
Every ounce of attention gets paid
In the background they’ve all made their minds up

Stage the fight
Don’t lay your hands on me
Don’t lay your hands on me
I want to get my time back

Hold that thought
Hold that thought
Hold that thought
Hold that thought

Drag your fingers in the glass like it makes a difference
Drag your nails across the sand
Realize that it’s just glass

You take advantage of it
You take advantage of it
You take advantage of it every way you can
You take advantage of it
You take advantage of it
You’re the only one who has to know

Wait it out
They’ll always be there to collect
Wait it out
They’ll always show up in the end
Wait it out
We’ll pick up right where we left off
Wait it out

Sink or die
Don’t bet against yourself
Don’t bet against yourself
I wouldn’t let my guard down

Knowing what the song is about and having been through an incredibly emotionally abusive marriage, and very recently another brief similar relationship, this really clicked. I got it. Amazing song and beautifully heartbreaking video. The dancers are phenomenal.

According to an official press release, ‘The lyrics for ‘Electric Moose‘ actually started out as a poem that Frontman Anthony Green wrote about domestic abuse, and someone trapped in a relationship but trying to hold onto the thought of how it was before things became violent.’

[Dudewhostartsargumentsandloses]

One of Anthony's personal VERY favorites of his.

[NiAnOfficial]

It's funny because... I've been listening to Circa for so long that my life and their work are things that I can't disassociate, they're intertwined. And each new release that deep feeling of "a new page" hits me. I really wasn't expecting this new page, it really hurt, and it's so… magical, so beautiful. Looking forward to what's to come ^^

[rom]

I didn't even realize this was Circa lmao I thought this was some new Rise artist named Electric Moose

[cheeriomaria]

Got a big frog in my throat and chills from this, how stunning, and heartbreaking all at once. Absolute masterpiece .

[CarlosFitzgerald-ihcl]

Anthony you're so good, in Circa Survive! Love this álbum

[Danaeats_]

Thank you for giving work to This is a game changer. I am so proud of you guys. Love

[mackenziejeangreer]

And now I’m crying. Holy shit. What a song, what a video.

[nerdydaddyo]

This is the right direction for them. Can't wait to see what's next. Still love it to this day. Great EP.

[skinreptile]

Wow 3:12 i feel things, this is gorgeous

[Coltzan]

This hit me deep on so many levels. Thank you

[IanTuazon_]

This hits different. Stunning creative work!

[TheNightdiver]

Incredible video, looking forward to the new EP and drinking a caipirinha while listening to curritiba

[circasurvivegirl]

How y’all listen to circa but not have critical thinking skills or are able to interpret their videos?! It’s about domestic abuse in interpretive dance form.

[mandala_skies]

Acho que nada no mundo transpareceria mais o sentimento que a música passa do que essas duas artistas LENDÁRIAS fizeram!!! Tão minucioso... tão visceral! Não tenho palavras pra descrever o que acabei de assistir e sentir. Estou chorando até agora e sinto que tem um peso gigante se esvaindo do meu peito ❤

[rabbitterrain]

Bruh, this vid, frightened rabbit anyone? God I love that band..

[xXMindGobblinXx]

watching the video just makes me want to listen to seeyouspace cowboy ( "The End To A Brief Moment Of Lasting Intimacy")

[cylynt]

The video ends with the 2 in the exact same position as the beginning. Implying that the abusive cycle will repeat indefinitely.

[leonardhernandez]

I don't understand this but it makes way too much sense some how
