Feet Don’t Fail Me Now Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been posing with red skies
Retweeting picket signs
Put my name on petitions, but I won't change my mind
I'm keeping up appearances
The dark side of my privilege
Damn, thank God I've got my vice
The dopamine tuition will keep me wrong from right
But I don't like when my better side takes hold of me
I didn't want you to know

[Chorus]
Man, I guess I was scared
Feet, don't fail me now
I got to stand my ground
And though I'm down for trying
I am better in denial
So I hush, don't make a sound
Feet, don't fail me now
I got to stand my ground
And though I'm down for trying
I am better in denial

[Verse 2]
I, I cry like crocodile
Then drink opinions out
I've always got an answer, thе sun shines out my mouth
There ain't a rulе I'd wanna break (There ain't a rule I'd wanna break)
I'd rather kill than show my face

[Chorus]
Man, I guess I was scared
Feet, don't fail me now
I got to stand my ground
And though I'm down for trying
I am better in denial
So I hush, don't make a sound
Feet, don't fail me now (Feet, don't fail me now)
I got to stand my ground (Gotta stand my ground)
And though I was down for trying

[Bridge]
I was scared
But no blame's worth buying
Am I better hiding?
Why? Oh, why?
Didn't I try?

[Chorus]
I was scared
Feet, don't fail me now
I got to stand my ground (Gotta stand my ground)
And though I'm down for trying
I am better in denial
So I hush, don't make a sound
Feet, don't fail me now
I got to stand my ground, my ground
And though I'm down for trying

[Outro]
My feet, don't fail me now

What did Joy Crookes say about "Feet Don't Fail Me Now"?

‘Feet Don’t Fail Me Now’ is a song I wrote in light of the political events of last year. It’s written from the perspective of someone who finds it easier to remain complicit out of fear of speaking up and what those consequences might be. I think the chorus is universal and I hope it can be a call...

What has the artist said about the song?

This song is one of the most complicated songs I’ve ever written (in a good way). The track carries with it a deep sense of irony, it’s written from the perspective of someone who finds it easier to remain complicit out of a fear of being cancelled. During the social and political turmoil of the las...

What have the artists said about the song?

I was really interested in this idea of group versus individual, collective versus individualism. And then how it’s so much easier to be complicit when you’re in a group, versus how you truly are and who you truly are, when you’re an individual.

It’s interesting to see what points are being hit and...

What have the artists said about the song?

It’s about a character that finds it easier to be complicit or performative in fear of actually speaking up about how they feel. And it was in light of the Black Lives Matter protests last year and the movement. I didn’t have any answers, so I kind of just wanted to write a song that gave a little b...
