Tom Krell aka How to Dress Well has a Masters degree in philosophy and is current working on his PhD dissertation in German philosophy/nihilism. Krell’s interest in modern philosophy and the struggle to find meaning in an ultimately meaningless and chaotic universe often comes through in his music....
[Verse 1]
Why am I so pathetic?
Why am I addicted to such attention?
When all I want is that love and affection
Had a nightmare about my Twitter mentions
[Verse 2]
Wonder why I feel so vacant and wake up so anxious?
Dreamed of an endless game that there’s no way to win at
But you keep giving everything it asks
You’ll never get it, never get it back
[Pre-Chorus]
Then all the things that you wanna say
Come crashing down around you like a tidal wave
And none of your words have any meaning or weight
They’re just partial shapes
There’s no way to escape because
[Chorus]
This is only happening
Because something has to happen babe
You’re only panicking
‘Cuz you thought you could have changed something
If I don’t want anything
Could I merge into the shadows baby?
But it’s all shadows babe
Bodies dreaming in the dark
[Verse 3]
Why do I feel so anxious?
Like the world betrayed me
Why do I feel like praying?
I don’t believe in a god to save me
Someone told me, not ironic
That less meaning means more profit
Never once could I remember
Somehow thinking I could stop it
[Pre-Chorus]
Then all the things that you wanna say
Come crashing down around you like a tidal wave
And none of your words have any meaning or weight
They’re just partial shapes
There’s no way to escape because
[Chorus]
This is only happening
Because something has to happen babe
You’re only panicking
‘Cuz you thought you could have changed something
If I don’t want anything
Could I merge into the shadows baby?
But it’s all shadows babe
Bodies dreaming in the dark
[Bridge]
If someone out there could just tell me how it ends
Did I open up my feeble heart and bleed out on my hands?
Did I write something that someone hears
And really feel they understand?
Wonder why I feel so vacant and wake up so anxious?
Dreamed of an endless game that there’s no way to win at
But you keep giving everything it asks
You’ll never get it, never get it back
[Pre-Chorus]
Then all the things that you wanna say
Come crashing down around you like a tidal wave
And none of your words have any meaning or weight
They’re just partial shapes
There’s no way to escape because
[Chorus]
This is only happening
Because something has to happen babe
You’re only panicking
‘Cuz you thought you could have changed something
If I don’t want anything
Could I merge into the shadows baby?
But it’s all shadows babe
Bodies dreaming in the dark
[Chorus]
This is only happening
Because something has to happen babe
You’re only panicking
‘Cuz you thought you could have changed something
If I don’t want anything
Could I merge into the shadows baby?
But it’s all shadows babe
Bodies dreaming in the dark
[Outro]
