Every song by citizen is a banger. This album. Youth. Turnover split. Young states. All is golden. Mat is an angel send from whatever god you believe in.
Almost all of citizen’s songs remind me eerily of the winter or lots of snowing especially at night. Kind of melancholic but I LOVE it. Up there with TSSF and Knuckle Puck for me
Lyrics: Thinning airflow through a narrow hallway Hanging heads from the billboards, hoping to entertain I hear the circle resonate You're all nameless faces to me I'm merely a short daydream I helped you get through nothing If you look real close, hands held under the thorns Keep you proud of the unknown I'm your toy when things get shallow I'm under your control Press your face to wood floor, you're the grain Here's a savior for when you don't feel anything I am what you want me to be Ripped right out in front of me I was on the edge of your everything Now something gets in the way Innocence sedates your memory The misbelief in anything I see you on every city street Looking for me to fix your pain If you look real close, hands held under the thorns Keep you proud of the unknown I'm your toy when things get shallow It swallows everyone You don't hold enough to show Anything for what you've done I'm your toy when things get shallow I'm under your control I've wished for this Well my attention comes and goes ever since I've dreamt of this Well it is never clean behind the film we're staring at If you look real close, hands held under the thorns Keep you proud of the unknown I'm your toy when things get shallow It swallows everyone You don't hold enough to show Anything for what you've done I'm your toy when things get shallow I'm under your control I'm under your control
They've written some excellent songs. This one sticks out as a Father and the struggle and general up and downs of raising and keeping a family intact. Or just love in general. Making it through the tough times more than anything. Unlike today. Just being there and following your heart. Even when you've come close to giving up. Resolvement through better communication and understanding. Leave the resentment at the door.
Sounds to me it's about the struggles of being a popular musician, having everyone smiling and singing along to songs about your struggles as if it's just a catchy song, when you've put a lot of thought and emotion into it.
Damn. Listening to this for the first time, I mostly listen to Youth. Reading the lyrics, it seems like this song is directed toward the fans. Read into it a bit closer.
@@omarjaywer7362this comment is old but for anyone reading, the song is about the singer feeling trapped by the ongoing expectations of his fans and a parasocial relationship they have with him, basically the idea of toxic fandom and demanding more from artists who are only human.
Wish I discovered this band sooner! I listened to this song on repeat for 3 hours. Still not tired of it. I think it was designed perfectly.
❤❤❤Ditto 😅😅
This will forever be my favorite track off the album.
This really shows the real pain in being a well-known musician. The pressure must be so heavy. Damn
Best jam on the album. Catchy as hell.
this pops in my head instantly after seeing or hearing word "control" to this day

Lyrics:
Thinning airflow through a narrow hallway
Hanging heads from the billboards, hoping to entertain
I hear the circle resonate
You're all nameless faces to me
I'm merely a short daydream
I helped you get through nothing
If you look real close, hands held under the thorns
Keep you proud of the unknown
I'm your toy when things get shallow
I'm under your control
Press your face to wood floor, you're the grain
Here's a savior for when you don't feel anything
I am what you want me to be
Ripped right out in front of me
I was on the edge of your everything
Now something gets in the way
Innocence sedates your memory
The misbelief in anything
I see you on every city street
Looking for me to fix your pain
If you look real close, hands held under the thorns
Keep you proud of the unknown
I'm your toy when things get shallow
It swallows everyone
You don't hold enough to show
Anything for what you've done
I'm your toy when things get shallow
I'm under your control
I've wished for this
Well my attention comes and goes ever since
I've dreamt of this
Well it is never clean behind the film we're staring at
If you look real close, hands held under the thorns
Keep you proud of the unknown
I'm your toy when things get shallow
It swallows everyone
You don't hold enough to show
Anything for what you've done
I'm your toy when things get shallow
I'm under your control
I'm under your control
Favorite song on this new album, you guys are am amazing.
