About

The song’s title is reminiscent of Primo Levi’s Auschwitz memoir where, in response to the protagonist asking “Warum?” -“Why?”, a guard response “Hier ist kein warum” – “There is no why here.”

Here Is No Why Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The useless drag of another day
The endless drags of a death rock boy
Mascara sure and lipstick lost
Glitter burned by restless thoughts
Of bein' forgotten

[Chorus 1]
And in your sad machines
You'll forever stay
Desperate and displeased
With whoever you are
And you're a star

[Verse 2]
Somewhere
He pulls his hair down over a frowning smile
A hidden diamond you cannot find
A secret star that cannot shine
Over to you

[Pre-Chorus 1]
May the king of gloom
Be forever doomed

[Chorus 2]
And in your sad machines
You'll forever stay
Burnin' up in speed
Lost inside the dreams
Of teen machines

[Bridge]
The useless drags, the empty days
The lonely towers of long mistakes
To forgotten faces and faded loves
Sittin' still was never enough

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And if you're givin' in
Then you're givin' up

[Chorus 2]
'Cause in your sad machines
You'll forever stay
Burnin' up in speed
Lost inside the dreams
Of teen machines

This title was appropriated from an article I’d read on an anniversary of the world’s first nuclear attacks. A survivor, in surveying a legacy of near-total devastation, had remarked in broken English that ‘Here is no why.’ Looking at the twisted remnants of my own childhood memories, I felt a simil...
