lyrics:
My favorite poem was the one I read to you
From the teleprompter on the tongue of my shoe
My flashbacks are a touch more resolute
Declaring thumb wars in the pocket of my suit
Take it
Take it all down, take me all apart
You can have my tongue just promise you’ll take it a la carte yeah
Take it all, just don’t take it all to heart
Thank God we turned the lights off, thank God
Take it, uh
Take me all apart
You can have my tongue just promise you’ll take it a la carte
Take it all, just don’t take it all to heart
Thank God we turned the lights off, thank God
And what I never knew
I’d rather be inside my head than you
How many times? Well I couldn’t count
Cause it gets so deep, it goes so deep I’m never pulling out
NYC on a red eye free cause they wanna take this and that
LLC for the next LP and I’m never gonna give it back
Sleep deprived on my return flight, fixated bout my hold on you
I don’t usually care for the doom in the air but it’s feeling kinda overdue, yeah
My favorite poem’s what I couldn’t say to you
The joke that wasn’t funny cause it’s true
My flashbacks are a touch more resolute
So forgive me for the hesitant salute
Take it
Take it all down, take me all apart
You can have my tongue if you take it a la carte
Take it all, just don’t take it all to heart
Thank God we turned the lights off, thank God
Uh, and what I never knew
I’d rather be inside my head than you
How many times? I couldn’t count
Cause it gets so deep I go so deep I’m never pulling out
(brakence)
Took you south,
Guess I got my jaw agape now I’m a cotton mouth,
Why do I feel so unsafe? What am I worried bout
Got a sedated sipping 80 proof
Skip the winter season like it’s pay-per-view
It ain’t you, I’m just caught up in my own sh*, licking wounds
I know it isn’t state of the art but the plate’s a la carte
Would you like course two?
(I don’t really think I’m perfect)
And what I never knew
(I don’t really think I’m, I don’t really think I’m perfect)
Could-could I be inside my head with you?
Freaked out tryna f*** you right
I know you never grade looks, still feel like a five,
But you said if we make love and I start to cry that
I can let it all out, shouldn’t rationalize but
God damn,
Do I deserve that you can’t hear me now?
It just gets so deep, and it goes so deep now that I’m peering down
My favorite poem was the one I read to you,
On the tongue of my shoe
Flashbacks are a touch more resolute
So forgive me
So please forgive me ohhh
Take me all apart
You can have my tongue if you take it a la carte
Take it all, just don’t take it all to heart
Brakence is seriously one of the best voices in music right now. Dignan has my family held hostage, I wake every day in fear that this nightmare may never end.

Quad better

I never expected for Quadeca and brakence to sound this amazing and natural on a track together!
bro commented this before the video even dropped🤦

im just here for brakence but quadeca not bad
This music video was insane. Probably one of the best ive seen in a minute
QUONKA DID‼️‼️
WE LOVE QUONKA
@@mrblobifierI LOVE QUC ❤❤❤❤
QUANKIS SPITTING
slauson malone music videos
From 1:45 onwards is when the song sticks like glue to me, brakence's voice and tone is just the topping on the cake man. I keep replaying it
I can feel quadonka music coming inside of me
?!
You wild for that
It’s Quadunka, idiot🗣️
pause
😮
It's not even funny how good this song is -- it feels like a physical unraveling of the knot in my heart. So excited for your consistent era. You got this!! (also Brakence in a button down!??)
Liked by quadeca 😮
@@moochiemancityfours-6900 time to go faint
Brakence be looking all stylish
didnt i see ur comment in the edited version sayin how it was bettr
knots reference
I love this concept of dropping music in waves like this. Surely will keep us entertained. I did not commit tax fraud in 2009 in Czechloslovakia.
i see you sneaking that in and i believe you
hivemind ass comment
so many checks owed i feel czechloslovakian?
Don't bring the Hivemind comments into Qaunka's super serious music
Correct, because Czechoslovakia split up in 1993.
never heard of this Brakence guy and holy shit he's INCREDIBLE
one of the coolest out there right now, his album hypochondriac is incredible
Quadecas style of music brought me to brekence, and I've been listening to his newest album for months straight. So excited to see this
Despite being a Quad fan for years, I only discovered brakence last summer & like you, I've been listening to hyperchondriac on repeat for months. Absolutely cannot wait for this!
they were made to calab!
Quadeccers and breakdance🔥🔥
I had exact the same experience! So cool to see this collab
U gotta listen to punk2 aswell
The baseline at 2:30 hits so hard I can’t even express it. I did not kill a family of 4 in a high speed car accident in Albuquerque New Mexico in 1996.
Wth 😭
Hmm..
Bruh hivemind literally a hivemind at this point 😭
thanks kingdeca now i finally have music to listen to instead of staring at my wall until 4:36 in the morning thank you

So grateful for this collab! Y’all are my 2 favorite artist and the creativity you both bring to the table is amazing. I also love how bold you both are given the state of the industry right now. Most artists are trying to sound so cookie cutter. Refreshing to hear to artists actually expressing themselves in an honest and unique way. Also the production is crazy and I get the sense you to worked on that together as well.
been streaming this like crazy already on spotify, so excited for this video!
For those who didn't know, "à la carte" means ordering a dish individually, but in the case of the song, Quadeca means that he wants that she keeps him “a la carte”, which means “off the menu”. Which implies he wants to kiss and more “take it all”. Little lyric explanation for the confused Quadonkers
Epic
thank you fellow Quadonker
Quankers*
I'm reasonably sure it's in reverse, that he's saying isn't ready for a sexual relationship. "a la carte" actually means "by the menu" meaning that if you order something a la carte, it comes by itself, exactly as it's written on the menu, instead of having other things that go along with it. so "you can have my tongue if you take it a la carte" means he's fine with making out, as long as nothing else goes along with it. brakence even directly makes reference to being afraid to have sex with the person he's singing about, and feeling like he's an unattractive person because of his fragile mental state despite the reassurances of his partner
@@timob1681 Great point here, I think both can be interpretated. We need a Genius Explained on that one Quadeca.
I'm always so impressed by his complex production style, the way he makes whole stories with songs is incredible
been rooting for this guy for a long time. glad to see he's releasing bangers like this. thanks quad
so relieved that quad is finally dancing with some rhythm🙏
(i am absolutely in love with this song)
dude I haven't tuned in since fmty and your swag is so upgraded u look very comfortable on camera and you've grown into your voice
Quadecas production is insane, love the swing in the synths
sounds more like brakence was responsible for the synths and guitars and quad was responsible for most of the production and prolly drums
@@koi_tech9573 i think he's right, the drums is very brockhampton ish which brakence is known to take influence to like alot
@@sinclair_09 for sure and the synths are so brakence coded
@@koi_tech9573it says in the description both quad and brakence produced it
I did the synths, chords, guitars, drums, atmospheric stuff on it. brakence did some chopping and rearranging of the instrumental and drums for his section and added in really cool piano & background vocal arrangements. Sam Arnold did the real bass on it
My life has changed forever. This song is the greatest piece of art my ears have ever been blessed with. Thank you quadratic formula for making my year once again. Very excited for the rest of the project.
there is something really comforting about this video.
Can't wait to spend 3000+ minutes on two tracks until the next pack comes out! Thank you quinkle!
Can't wait to hear Quadeca's first ever released song!
brakence always sounds heavenly
When Brakence said “still feel like a 5” he was def referring to fantanos rating of hypochondriac 😂😂😂
fantano missed the entire point of the album on that rating, lmao
@@epicfiend1999 fr the man has lost his touch
@@epicfiend1999 common melon L
@@sidbell1073 that rating is an L take. Hypochondriac is fucking amazing
@@BlairesHollowAnthony never had any touch dude always been a cornball
Usually when an musical artist comes out with a song/music video I watch the video and vibe with the beat and over hear the lyrics. Then I go back and listen fully again, close my eyes and make my own visuals. When it’s Quadeca I know it’s going to be creative and moments the can catch you’re eyes. There are many moments in the video when you felt the lyrics match the scenery. I love this I’m here for the new series and can’t wait to see what comes next..
Also someone in the comments did a great job describing the they way Quadeca is using the word “La Carte” …. It’s a play-on word (word play)
I forgot how good you are man, like WHOAH, I needed a reminder. That little baseline on the guest verse was just such a nice subtle touch that made me love this song even more, it's really the small things sometimes.
masterpiece😢💕
OMG I DIDN'T EXPECT YOU TO KNOW QUADECA, I LOVE YOUR SONGS
Most random interaction but amazing to see someone else I like as a musical artist appreciating Quadeca
wtf takayan omg
@@time_to_exist9111im here
😮
Mmmm.. quadeca’s hook n verse has been stuck in my head. Didn’t realize how much it compliments Brakence’s verse. Sheer genius.
brakence’s presence in any collab is unmatched. the way he starts off his part and the flow is literally unmatched with any artist you can name
one of his best features is on "thingsudo2me" by ericdoa
@@timob1681or okay by midwxst
ok they could make one of the best duo albums of all time, the production is amazing, you can really clearly hear both of their signature sounds on the track. I think their tone and aesthetic fit perfectly together. Great song, great video, great duo.
I think my favorite part about quidaca is how underrated his voice is. He has the r&b voice of an angel and yet still decides to push the boundaries of this genre of art with his voice being drowned in gorgeous effects. But if you guys noticed he said it all of the things are going to be different genres. So I'm hoping that one of these is an r&b set
"id rather be inside my head than you" IS CRAZY
W song W song W song
TRUEE
So true
What the actual fuck
slide 4000 usd karl
whut da hail
both times when quadeca & brakence toured near me, i missed both shows and that is something i will never live down. i need to see them both live so bad
This feels like new quadeca and older brakence in one! You guys sound great together!
Exactly what I was thinking
What quad is doing for this new album is different, and i'm all in for it. Sucks it's gonna take some time for every song to release, can't wait to watch all of them back to back.
Scrapyard isn't an album
@@sparrowcfit's an EP I'm pretty sure. There's gonna be more songs in it
@@gabrielnieves9974 Correct
My favorite song on the album, and the whole project is incredible. When the brakence verse comes in, it's euphoric
Insane how two of my favorite artists from different genres came together and made a masterpiece. This is my whole personality now
This dude is quickly becoming one of my favorite artists of ALL TIME and I swear I'm not even joking
aint no way he droppin with the goat
Literally, they my top 2 fr
which goat u talking about?
i've been such a big fan of both brakence and quadeca. have both of their latest albums on repeat ;-;. this collab is HEAVEN
They sound so good together my only criticism is that I was hoping for more vocals from quadeca cause my man can sing really well and brakence is just so talented! Two of the most creative artists collaborating is what we needed and hope there will be more quadxbrake soon
seems like the old Quadeca + the maturity from his last 2 albums, this is about to be amazing
That part at 0:54 is exceptional. His flow, the beat breakdown, the glistening synths in the back. Its brilliant as all get out. This has been on REPEAT.
FRRRRR
One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard in my life.
two unique artist making unique music together? What can go wrong? Straight fire🔥
NO SHOT QUAD another awesome release. Really cool to hear the blend of your production styles. Couldn't believe when I saw you two together with HIVEMIND, now there's a song!
Quadeca is singing on a Dreamcore instrumental and im here for it 🙌🏽 love the liminal spaces vibe as well 😌
"we need old Quadeca" NO WE DO NOT. he's been breaking out of the youtube rap thing he does not need to regress back.
totally gorgeous 😍
dawg i been wanting this for so long let’s gooo
quadrilateral and breakdance ATE
This song had to grow on me but its become one of my favorites. Its fucking beautiful
Y’all got no clue how happy this makes me
Been saving this one to watch for 4 days now so I could really appreciate it, and now here on the god damn Sunday the Lord's day I'm watching this shit high as hell and by God am I appreciating it, hell yes dude such a good collab
One day Quad is gonna be known as an all time great producer. The depth in this song is fucking crazy!
'I'd rather be inside my head than you' UHM- FIRE?? 🔥🔥🔥
I love how unique and original your songs are man. I loved the footwork in this one too. brakence is a natural star too, wow! What a nice voice.
Bro I need more music from Brakence his voice and range is too talented
This song is great but i cant help but just focus on how amazing his music videos have been recently. unbelievable.
Never missing on a MV📻🔥
2 of my favorite artists on a track together, amazing
this video looked fun to make and this song is beautiful. this a perfect vibe honestly
new quad=more out-of-body experiences
Two good looking men in a well shot and edited video making good music, what more is there to say
We makin out the psych ward with this one 💪
makin it into jail for "abuse" with this one ( i just asked her out but im not big dong king dong so i got secuirty called on me, doesnt matter what the pickup line was)
for some reason, the way quad sings the chorus sounds so good even if its like off a little bit? idk i cant describe it
Brakences verse went so hard and quadeca's chorus was so catchy
This song changed my life thank you so much quadrant and breakdance
jesse pinkman snappin
🔥
Thats crazy 😂
Consistent Quadeca is the best thing I could have ever heard
This was probably so much fun to create. Love the song, love the visuals.
This song is amazing. Quadeca still hasn’t reached his prime and this is the shit he’s putting out. So happy I’ve been here to watch him grow and evolve since voice memos.
I have dreamed about this day for so damn long thank you two for helping me through my music journey and I thought this was way to good to be true
Quadeca's music is something I never heard before. It's so unique It's crazy.
Love how the vibes in the music video always match the song
my favorite artist i dont know why but every song is just so complex in a good way and so simplistic on the other side. most underrated artist ever
Can't believe it's been 9 months since it's released on repeat since day one
quintessential really went in on this🔥
What a song. Already in the playlists
7 months later and its still crazy that two of my favorite artists just randomly did this together
(EARTH)QUAKENCE
this song makes me wanna gaze out the window during a late night drive and contemplate my entire life from beginning to end
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SONG IS PERFECT LETS GO I CAN’T WAIT FOR MORE ❤
the way quadeca's lines r delivered r so adorable idk why
Love you q, this piece means a lot to my heart and I can't thank you enough for consistently singing and rapping our thoughts in a way we can't voice 💜💜💜
ok pretty epic, favorite part of the vid is when quad pretends to play the piano along with the beat under the bridge
This song had to grow on me. I love the vibe of this. Everything about this is like a perfect dissonance of tastes like a hamburger. Just because the flavors don't compliment each other doesn't mean it won't taste good together
music video gas, song really good, drums sick, baseline, funky fresh, artists top tier, drop every 2-3 days instead, quadinka is finally back
This vid finally hit a million
showed my grandma this, she now on a spiritual mission of enlightenment
Brakence’s voice is crazy bro….crazy
this sounds so good!! never expected a quadeca brakence collab but im loving it!
quadeca never disappoints🙏🔥
Yes he does he's been ass since where did u go
@@stephencurry3841not since Where'd you go, but his newest album is ass
@@goodafternoon5172no lol
I LOVE QUAD SO MUCHHH
