‘Hyper Trophy’ was the second single released for the Citizen album Calling The Dogs.
The title could be a reference to ‘hypertrophy’, an exercise routine that focuses on a higher volume of repetitions but with less intensity, or less weight. Lead singer Mat Kerekes' Instagram contains many picture...
[Verse 1]
Frenzy in the rain, mania days
Fold up my head, got a new keepsake
Over my neck, under my ribcage
Over my neck, under my ribcage
[Pre-Chorus]
If the moment was just right, then you'd know if I could
And if the moment was just right, then you'd know if I could
[Chorus]
You're bright and bold (You're bright and bold)
I can't go on (I can't go on)
Though you followed me into the mud, it's not enough (it's not enough), so
Enough
Enough
Enough
[Verse 2]
The shrapnel in your face
Into your gut, keeps you fed for days
Over my neck, under my ribcage
Over my neck, under my ribcage
[Verse 3]
Said you want more, just to turn face
Maybe that's you, nevеr gonna be me
Over my nеck, under my ribcage
It is not enough (It's not enough)
[Chorus]
You're bright and bold (You're bright and bold)
I can't go on (I can't go on)
Though you followed me into the mud, it's not enough (it's not enough)
You're bright and bold (You're bright and bold)
I can't go on (I can't go on)
I used to be so passionate, it's not enough (it's not enough), so
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
If the moment was just right, then you'd know if I could
And if the moment was just right, then you'd know if I could
[Chorus]
You're bright and bold (You're bright and bold)
I can't go on (I can't go on)
Though you followed me into the mud, it's not enough (it's not enough)
You're bright and bold (You're bright and bold)
I can't go on (I can't go on)
I used to be so passionate, it's not enough (it's not enough), so
Enough
