Lyrics:

-

I love the breaching brittle liar - liar
the sweet imposter, the cautious killer

Take off the ring I’ll get you higher - higher
I’m gonna wait for the tide

‘cause I’m a builder, she’s a buyer - buyer
I see schematics, a rotting footing

Sniff out the gas, pull out the lighter - lighter
I see the spark in her eyes

—
Oh I’ll wait, for you to start to fall apart
—

‘cause I’m addicted to the trouble - trouble
The Mona Lisa, the silent anger

She’s been living in the bubble - bubble
Yeah that goes double for me

I’ll be dancing by the fire - fire
I’ll be dancing while she burns her house down

Just let the pressure make the diamonds - diamonds
Don’t throw me back in the sea

——

I’ll be dancing by the fire - fire
I’ll be dancing while you burn the house down

Just let the pressure make the diamonds - diamonds
I’m at the coward’s way out

Tering, wat een energie en natuurlijk een eigen 'De Staat' melange... Top Notch guys!

[awkawa]

De Staat is seriously one of the best rock bands we have at the moment

[JVDABEATS]

Eigenlijk zijn jullie gewoon de beste rock/hard rock band van Nederland; maar iedereen doet stoer.

[JustMelsie]

These overlay notes are both informative and hilarious omg

[malakoA]

i came here for that witch doctor song and now i need this band like a musical crackhead.

[data]

Best band worldwide . Honestly. Live shows are amazing

[thesnagglewolf]

Holy balls every song from this band is good as hell.

[rredenvous]

The is the most original rock band out there, the most themselves. I love it!

[cey]

I feel like I'm on a roller coaster while listening to the song

[notnice-]

an absolute gem to listen to whilst playing 'jakbox 💎💎💎

[JeremiahWilsonRhodes]

Goddamn you boys know to dress. Torre, that hat and shirt combo is everything, and Jop, that SUIT. 🤌

[abnormarika]

I found out this band just an hour ago, and i guess i could say im a fan ALREADY, lol. YouTube recommended me "KITTY KITTY"... First reaction of the song was like "what is this? Where did this come from? What is that?! What kind of music is this" And after an hour of listening to various songs i still do not know anything else but this band is awesomest things today. Im sorry, im such a n00bie but im already very much addicted to their songs! And they should have more likes!

[DeepSabbathCult]

This remains one of the best music videos, and the song is infectious.

[ArexuRj]

Saw De Staat live in Czech republic, and can't get them out of my head. I knew all the lyrics to all the songs, and the Energy they had was absolutely hypnotizing. I wish them to be as successful as possible, but to see them at this point in their career, is very lucky.

[TheNewFlesh]

Love the overlay text. Recorded on a decade-old Mac on Cubase? Awesome trivia, respect

[Patexum]

I didn't notice this video is actually with very cool infographics for years...

[turk]

Love. Love. Love De Staat. Would fly to Europe only to see them perform live. Come to Colombia!!!

[bloc]

Amazing song, amazing singer, amazing band and amazing video

[kadavarium]

Literal fucking legends. Their music videos never disappoint.

[JeremiahWilsonRhodes]

Yeah this is the absolute best rock and roll music video I’ve ever seen. Most of your time in bands is playing in a circle for no one and still just fuckin diggin it. It’s all highlighted by this bonkers color composition and saturation. The info is like this great “fuck you, we know what we’re doing thanks.” And I just realized it’s done in an empty venue. I watch this video for breakfast daily; y’all got me fucked up.
