Lyrics :::

Told we could be who we wanted
Or get what we needed, hey yeah
One and the other competing
Over the meaning, hey yeah
Back when I said that I want it all
This wasn’t the point at all
Hostile to that superficial view
Show me something that can’t be bought
It’s harder to do than I thought
False dichotomy, no choice to choose
When you don’t know if you should fall
If there’d be a net at all
Pleasure gets so easily abused
Show me something that can’t be bought
It’s harder to do than I thought
False dichotomy, no choice to choose
Hate/Love
And when you don’t want to chase it
But can’t stand to waste it, hey yeah
It’s either rags into riches
Or life in the trenches, hey yeah
Back when I said that I want it all
This wasn’t the point at all
Hostile to that superficial view
Show me something that can’t be bought
It’s harder to do than I thought
False dichotomy, no choice to choose
When you don’t know if you should fall
If there’d be a net at all
Pleasure gets so easily abused
Show me something that can’t be bought
It’s harder to do than I thought
False dichotomy, no choice to choose
Hate/Love

I love this band so much and they’ve aged like fine wine. Formentera is a banger!!! 💗

"Back when I said that I want it all" Ah, yes, "The Shade" I remember 😎

[Snoogen]

I love how Metric has had the same style since 2012, but have evolved it in so many interesting and unique ways. Every one of their songs is like meeting back up with an old friend, you know what to expect, but you still find yourself pleasantly surprised.

[MingxiaTW]

So, can we all agree that this is one of the best songs of all time? Hearing this live is going to be amazing!

[markussinger]

Emily aging like fine wine! 👌 Great record.

[lildimsum]

The synths are KILLER and are balanced with the rest of the instruments I love it ⚡️🖤🖤🖤⚡️

[NikaHollywood]

"Back when I said that I want it all..." This must be a follow up to The Shade. Love it!

[amberamazine]

I love this video, it gives definite "we broke into the botanical gardens at night to film" vibes.

[EntirelyPointlessContent]

First listened to Metric in 2007 (Grow Up And Blow Away) and have been a fan since then, they really do keep bringing out hits again and again

[chewyduck]

More excellence from Metric. It's what I have come to expect from a truly great band.

[jonathanturbide]

Metric is a national treasure, back and better than ever! Love that song. 😀😄

[TheSeiya]

replaying this entire album on loop to cure my depression. THX METRIC <333

[JinxMarie]

2024. This is one if the most beautiful songs by Metric. Emily, you are an absolute 🔥 fire. My sister and i foujd your song Hustle Rose back in 2004. I have seen you in concert. I have this shirt when this song dropped, Who would you be for me? No one has worn it. And i cherish every song. 20 years of metric.

[eneaslujan]

thanks you Emily Haines for expressing your feelings in this album

[yomi_jeremy]

the way she says "false dichotomy" makes me shiver lol. Love it.

[TheReal_FishFins]

This song live last night was incredible.

[ErikTJ]

I'm not even Canadian, but if this doesn't win the Juno award they should take that organization down! And as much as I love Arcade Fire the last Juno for them was not deserved. This really is Metric's moment.

[michaeldunwood]

this album is an instant classic, and this is among the best singles of the year

[JessicaOrban]

Always loved that Metric is such a perfect mix of something that makes you think and something that makes you dance 💜💜💜
