The art in this song is so sensitive to the future we now live in.

It hasn't been that long, but this song was a major piece of my childhood. The original magic it had with me has faded to some degree, but I will always be grateful for Metric.

What a great opening for an album. I love how the first lyric is the name of the album.

Dude.... I've been listening to this band for more than 13 years and I've just now realized the yellow on this album art isn't just a splatch of color but the silhouette of a man 😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣

I still remember buying the album 15 or so years ago when I saw a feature in the Toronto Star on the band (the first such profile on them, IIRC). Still one of the best purchases I ever made - I still have the CD, too.

Old world underground where are you now
Subtract my age from the mileage
On my speeding heart, credit cards
Accelerate, accumulate
Looked for you downtown
Wound up in a movie with no story
Now it's late
And you are nowhere to be found

Hesitation's always mine
Hesitate outside the times
With all I don't say
With all I don't do
I'm sending you
Invitations to hesitate too

Every ten year-old enemy soldier
Thinks falling bombs are shooting stars sometimes
But she doesn't make wishes on them
When she wishes
She wishes for less ways to wish for
More ways to work toward it
Ten year-old enemy soldier
Our falling bombs are her shooting stars

Hesitation's always mine
Hesitate outside the times
Oh call me or drop me a line
Say you've been with me
Say you've been with me
Say you've been with me
This whole time

Old world underground I never knew you
But i've seen your face everywhere
There was a farm before we tore
The small town down
Multiply divide

This album is fucking awesome. Saw Metric live and they rock.

I wish that crazy tune at 3:31 kept going for 1-2 minutes more and then fade away... mind blowing ...

This was my favorite song senior year of high school. Good times. My heart sinks because of how long it's been.

Emily Haines is honestly the most chill, down-to-earth person. When I was in college, I went to a music event. I ended up being ditched by my friends, and hanging out with some random woman I met. Great times, great banter. Then about an hour or to in, she got a call, and had to leave because her band was up.

That woman was Emily Haines, and Metric was the act of the evening. She never even mentioned it, was just a human being the entire time. She clearly hasn't let the fame or her beauty get to her. Hell, she was hanging out in the grounds when I met her, not cooped up in some trailer or backstage away from what some artists would no doubt perceive as the "plebian masses".

Pure respect for Emily and Metric.

EDIT: Emily, if somehow you see this, that due you hung out with for a bit that the 2019 Phoenix show says hi! I'm not even sure if you remember it, I feel like you have bigger things on your mind (being a professional artist and all that) but hey, you never know!

One of the greatest album I've ever seen...

bro metric was my core memory growing up. my mom raised me on good music since 6 that’s 11 years

This song is my memory of 2001 - 2003, the easy slide into The Forever War and a new sense of generalized, rootless alienation. Whatever, perhaps false, promise the 90’s held was dimming like late Autumn. Emily is a pop music poet on par with Neil, Leonard and Joni.
