“Flatliners” reflects upon the anguish of a relationship filled with broken promises and unfulfilled desires as the opening track to Twin Shadow’s third studio album, Eclipse.
[Verse 1]
Heard enough?
Heart got broken everyday now
It's like every time I laugh at love
Symptoms of
Face down, smothered out before you even look it up
[Pre-Chorus 1]
We don't wanna be flatliners
Pump, pump, pump it up
If I could just pick you up right now
Then there's this one thing that I would be screaming out:
My heart has a chamber of trust now
Before, I was letting too much out
[Chorus]
Yeah you, making promises
You, breaking promises
Ooh
Yeah you, making promises
You, breaking promises
Ooh
Yeah you, making promises
You, breaking promises
Ooh
Yeah you, making promises
You, breaking promises
Ooh
[Verse 2]
Tell me all
Words went missing in the satellite
But it seems as though we're breaking up
Victims of
Lost in translation, I'm glued to your station, we both know
[Pre-Chorus 2]
We don't have be flatliners
So pump, pump, pump it up
If I could just pick you up right now
Then there's this one thing that I would be preaching
But my heart has a chamber of trust for you
I wasn't put here just to lust for you
[Chorus]
Yeah you, making promises
You, breaking promises
Ooh
Yeah you, making promises
You, breaking promises
Ooh
Yeah you, making promises
You, breaking promises
Ooh
Yeah you, making promises
You, breaking promises
Ooh
[Outro]
You making promises, you making promises
You making promises, you making promises
You making promises, you making promises
You making promises, you making promises
