Best band ever. Masterclass in poetry and musicality.
Loved the shins before but after watching Chuck this song takes on a whole new meaning and power. So good!
the most beautiful thing I've heard all day
Whole album is beautiful
At 41, divorced, and alone, this song hits a different way.
One hand on this wily comet
Take a drink just to give me some weight
Some uber-man I'd make
I'm barely a vapor
They shone a chlorine light on
A host of individual sins
Let's carve my aging face off
Fetch us a knife
Start with my eyes
Down so the lines
Form a grimacing smile
Close your eyes to corral a virtue
Is this fooling anyone else?
Never worked so long and hard
To cement a failure
We can blow on our thumbs and posture
But the lonely are such delicate things
The wind from a wasp could blow them
Into the sea
With stones on their feet
Lost to the light and the loving we need
Still to come
The worst part and you know it
There is a numbness
In your heart and it's growing
With burnt sage and a forest of bygones
I click my heels
Get the devils in line
A list of things I could lay the blame on
Might give me a way out
But with each turn
It's this front and center
Like a dart stuck square in your eye
Every post you can hitch your faith on
Is a pie in the sky
Chock full of lies
A tool we devise
To make sinking stones fly
And still to come
The worst part and you know it
There is a numbness
In your heart and it's growing
Never worked so long and hard to cement a failure.
incredible lyrics
heard this first in the TV show Chuck... love it.
I love this song so much but I hate how much it echoes in my head; each line takes hold and catches like a sermon, a fishhook I cannot dislodge. I hope for something to look forward to but I only find acceptance, this truly is all it ever was and all it shall ever be. There never was a prize, no finish line to be found. You never know when you've reached the peak of the mountain until you begin down the other side and by then its too late- the weight of your mistakes, your failures, the mass of guilt you carry will drag you down with gathering speed and there is only the onrushing darkness to accompany you. Here we are, candles flickering in an empty room, unseen drafts blowing us out one by one. All that remains are the wisps of smoke only briefly illuminated by those left until they too, are gone. I wanted life, not simply to live...
Thanks for reminding me about "The Shins". I had forgotten how cool their music is.
I saw them on Kimmel and said same thing... I forgot how awesome they were
I have known song for 2 years and they are still my favorite
A stunningly beautiful song.
Beautiful
Beautiful song.
this song makes me cry
Thank you ❤
1 of few maybe 3 bands that have actually initiated enough receptors invoking a few of my inspiration pistons into turning over thus requesting more fuel of the same brand and next thing i knew i was filling up regularly on The Shins fuel grade and have thusfar used it to get back in time to my better days. Time machine fuels what i consider this 1+ man band better then any flux capacitor or telly phone booth😊
Holy shit...I love this song.
Saw them last night in Albuquerque - it was inspiring and wonderful - loved every minute!!
DID THEY PREFORM ANY OF THIS ALBUM?!??!? I’d totally go but I’d be upset if I went and they didn’t
soo lucky you
YAY!

i will never
know
The lyrics make absolutely 0 sense lmao. Still a nice song
They absolutely do, if you stop to consider the analogies he makes. Mercer makes some of the best modern English poetry.
