I’ll Still Destroy You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's so easy to set off
The molecules and the caplets
They all have something against me
Nothing I do makes me feel different
[Pre-Chorus 1]
This one's like your sister's best friends
In a bath callin' you to join them
Can't avoid them
This one's like your mother's arms
When she was young and sunburned in the '80s
It lasts forever
[Verse 2]
The more level they have me
The more I cannot stand me
I have helpless friendships
And bad taste in liquids
[Pre-Chorus 2]
This one's like the wilderness
Without the world, I'm gonna miss those long nights
With the windows open
I keep re-readin' the same lines
Always up at 5am every mornin'
Like a baby
[Chorus]
It's just the lights comin' on
It's just the lights comin' on
[Bridge]
I have no possessions
No point of view or vision
I'm just tryin' to stay in touch with
Anything I'm still in touch with
[Pre-Chorus 3]
The sky is getting white
I can't find a lighter anywhere, I'm goin' crazy
But I'm not crazy
Put your heels against the wall
I swear you got a little bit taller since I saw you
I'll still destroy you
[Chorus]
It's just the lights comin' on
It's just the lights comin' on
[Instrumental Outro]

What did The National say about "I'll Still Destroy You"?
“There’s a lot of self-medicating. ‘I’ll Still Destroy You’ is lovingly talking about how we change our states of mind, whether it’s weed or wine or whatever. It’s an ingredient in my life. Sometimes we overindulge ourselves. I’ve always been okay with that in a funny way. I sing about that stuff a...
