Lyrics:
I’ve gotten used to feeling like I’m crazy - or just lazy. Why can’t I get off this floor? Think straight anymore? Out on the street, I went walking in a punishing heat -nobody meets my eyes except witty signs and luxury designs. Every neon sign every flashing light tries to fool you. Get you on their side, everybody swears they need you - and only you - to make the buy. You feel flattered to be wanted and you don’t know why - it reminds me of that look, that look in your eyes. Never enough in a world without trust, having to rely upon the lightning flash of lust - like it’s almost the same as love. Every neon sign every flashing light tried to fool me. There I was - just stretching out my mind to take in every wounded story. Nothing needs you so badly as a lie, so lonely, drifting, unmoored from real life. Begging, begging somebody to keep it alive. Living rough in a world without trust, having to rely upon the honesty of lust. You had to make yourself wanted, to get what you wanted. Now you got me - this broken prize, clinging to you but blank in the eyes, want is a feeling you can’t take alive. Till I fell out of desire like a slipped knot I fell out of desire and nothing caught I fell out of the fire wasn’t even hot I could feel nothing nothing nothing nothing naught. My want was honest - you tried to direct it. But it was connected - to something I can’t explain, immersed in all my pain, like a root in a ceiling drain breaking apart everything. I never knew it - I tried so hard to cut through it. Never enough in a world without trust, determined broken open and refusing to adjust - I swear to god I saw real love once. But nothing needs you so badly as a lie, so lonely, drifting, unmoored from real life - if nobody believes it all it can do is die.

"but nothing needs you so badly as a lie" The Weather Station is back

This background noise representing the disturbing effects of the city lights and the bad frequenzies that make sensitive ppl go mad and the beautiful melody and the vocals above of it, trying to break the spell.
Maybe I am just dreaming all of this but I think it might be intended.
Whatever, this song is something special.
Thank you for posting it.

The Weather Station never sounded so good or so mesmerizing as they do here, and directing team Tamara Lindeman & Jared Raab manage to capture the childlike, helter-skelter chaos and curiosity of the human mind better than any of their contemporaries.

Lost count of how many times I've listened to this since it came out. Stoked for a new album.

[aceTL]

Thank you for continuing to make such good music!

[AmberExista]

The lyrics are most amazing as usual. Honestly some of the best lyrics I ever read in any artist.

Modern day Joni Mitchell vibes. Love it.

[RadiostatsApp]

Cool!! Did you know that this track was played on Rock Energy Channel in Rome, Italy!

[peterlundskow]

Great listening party, this song is great with the intro!

[SunsetSemaphores]

This is brand new music!!!

Give me a copy and let me in the band. 😂🎉❤😢

[denkho]

So this is "Smack My B1tch Up" from the headcrab perspective. God thank you for the Weather Station!

[strayferal]

On a second listen: I checked some older songs of yours and must say I like this new direction you take with this song much more. I only am curious what cameras were used to shot this. I know it is challenging as this is a night video, plus he edited it to look a bit retro. I really love the concept, but some things are a bit too blurry (I know for some of them it's intentional) and I suspect Youtube crunched it a little bit more too.

[thewizardmountain]

This video kinda looks like it was filmed in Parkdale! (Toronto). I'm probably wrong tho

[richardpage]

Impressive soundscape. Wish the Spotify version started the same as this rather than jump to the lyrics.
