Bats Lyrics
[Intro]
Gone
And I let it
Go
And I'll get it
[Verse 1]
Could I ever speak?
Will I ever breach?
How can I be enabled?
If it's a calling of the heart
You cannot see
Can't read a foreign body language
Who am I to teach?
You don't know about growing pains
That were neglected in me
You don't know about warning signs
Ignored and left at the scene
Indeed I'm known to
Falling standards
Who am I to preach?
[Pre-Chorus]
Gone
But you couldn't understand
And I let it
So I lied again
Go
And I wouldn't let you in
And I'll get it
So you cast another stone
You'll find it on your own
If I let it
I better let it go
[Chorus]
You will let me down now
'Cause you could not lift it
I'll back down
When I cannot stand the weight
We'll wake up to breaking hearts
I know it
You will let me down now
'Cause you could not lift it
I'll back down
When I cannot stand the weight
We'll wake up to breaking hearts
I know it
To breaking hearts
I know it
[Verse 2]
Could I ever meet
Ever present needs?
How can I be relabeled?
If it has always been indoctrinated in me
That heathens die and love is blind
Now who am I to see?
[Pre-Chorus]
Gone
But you couldn't understand
And I let it
So I lied again
Go
And I wouldn't let you in
And I'll get it
So you cast another stone
You'll find it on your own
If I let it
I better let it
Go
[Chorus]
You will let me down now
'Cause you could not lift it
I'll back down
When I cannot stand the weight
We'll wake up to breaking hearts
I know it
You will let me down now
'Cause you could not lift it
I'll back down
When I cannot stand the weight
We'll wake up to breaking hearts
I know it
To breaking hearts
I know it
[Bridge]
All left out
We were left out
Irrelevant
All left out
We were left out
Irrelevant
All left out
We were left out
Irrelevant
All left out
We were left out
Irrelevant
All left out
We were left out
Irrelevant
All left out
We were left out
Irrelevant
All left out
We were left out
Irrelevant
All left out
We were left out
Again
[Chorus]
You will let me down now
'Cause you could not lift it
I'll back down
When I cannot stand the weight
We'll wake up to breaking hearts
I know it
You will let me down now
'Cause you could not lift it
I'll back down
When I cannot stand the weight
We'll wake up to breaking hearts
I know it
To breaking hearts
I know it
[Outro]
Now good luck
Holding it together
Gone
And I let it
Go
And I'll get it
Gone
Bats Q&A
Who wrote Bats's ?
Bats was written by Casper Starreveld & Eloi Youssef & Jan Haker & Niles Vandenberg.
Who produced Bats's ?
Bats was produced by Kensington & Garth Richardson.
When did Kensington release Bats?
Kensington released Bats on Thu May 23 2019.
What inspired the song?
We listen to a lot of different bands, but for this song the inspiration came from the more electronic / pop world, stuff like Moderat, Jon Hopkins, Genesis and The Weeknd.
What was the process of making the song like?
It was a bit different from our ‘’normal’’ way of working, because it’s so loop-based, but that made it fun and fresh. We really discussed expanding the sonic boundaries with this song, we asked ourselves the question: is there really a rule for what a Kensington song should sound like?
How did the song come together?
The song started around a synth-bassline, which is still quite dominant in the song. The song was built up by adding more and more loops, beats, a real bassline and an intricate vocal arrangement to create an almost hip-hop kind of vibe. It was written in our own studio in Utrecht.
