“Hyperventilate is an exercise in acceptance. I’ve learned tough stuff about myself. I’m not the august immortal I thought I was. I was forced to face the music and it was out of tune. This song is about bidding farewell to that piece of me that felt unencumbered by the lack of time we have, the far...
[Verse 1]
My eyes shine like neon signs
In the West LA whiskey light
Revving like a two stroke car crime
But I'm a stuck man
Living on a thin skin of a cold horizon
'Cause all the new gods love fame and fortune
[Pre-Chorus]
But I don't wanna transcend, I wanna transform
'Cause I've been feelin' like an eyesore
And my heart is always comin' up short
[Chorus]
You make me hyperventilate
You look like you know the meaning of dreams
And how to talk to snakes
I know you love it when the Earth shakes
But I'm not ready for this to be a memory
No, I'm not ready for this to be a memory
[Verse 2]
My eyes shine like broken headlights
Fading on the wrong drive
Leave you in black of night
[Bridge]
Please let it be true that all good men are evil sometimes
But the poison is pure in America, babe
Dancin' with the new lost renegades
Don't mess with a man who hesitates
[Chorus]
You make me hyperventilate
You look like you know the meaning of dreams
And how to talk to snakes
I know you love it when the Earth shakes
But I'm not ready for this to be a memory
No, I'm not ready for this to be a memory
[Instrumental Break]
[Post-Chorus]
No, I'm not ready for this to be a memory
No, I'm not ready for this to be a memory
[Outro]
(I'm not ready)
(I'm not ready)
