‘Hairpin Turns’ is a song about falling out of love with someone not because of anything that has happened but but because the love has simply begun to fade. The passion and romance no longer remains and your left repeating the same day over and over with your partner, on a hairpin turn just looping...
Hairpin Turns Lyrics
[Verse 1: Matt Berninger]
I like the old way, I thought I was hanging in there
You held back the worst rain from my shoulders then
[Chorus]
What are we going through, you and me?
Every other house on the street's burning
What are we going through? Wait and see
Days of brutalism and hairpin turns
[Verse 2: Matt Berninger]
Your nervous throat clicks and my spirit swims right to the hook
You go quiet and leave me in the wake of a terrifying look
[Chorus: Matt Berninger and Gail Ann Dorsey]
What are we going through, you and me?
What is it you want me to be learning?
We're always arguing about the same things
Days of brutalism and hairpin turns
[Verse 3: Matt Berninger]
Say it like I was right in the room there
Say it like your head was on my shoulder
(And I'll keep my eyes open)
[Chorus]
What are we going through, you and me?
Every other house on the street's burning
What are we going through? Wait and see
Days of brutalism and hairpin turns
What are we going through, you and me?
What is it you want me to be learning?
We're always arguing about the same things
Days of brutalism and hairpin turns
[Outro: Kate Stables and Mina Tindle]
And I'll keep my eyes open
And I'll keep my eyes open

In regards to the video, Mike Mills (director) says:
The video is a very simple portrait of the band (and the friends who helped make the song) and the song itself: You see all the instruments that make up the song in isolation, even hear them recorded live on set over the album version, kind of li...
