Opening Daughter’s second album, “New Ways” sets the tone for Not to Disappear, both sonic and lyrically.
The band’s guitarist, Igor Haefeli, told Guitar.com:
‘New Ways’ was the first track we wrote for the album and straightaway felt like the track that should open it. It starts fairly calmly and...
[Verse]
Washed out brain
I have a dirty mind
Oh I need, I need new ways
To waste my time, I need new ways
Washed out brain
I live alone, alone, alone
Washed out face
Keep me inside, I need new ways to waste
My time, I need, I need new ways (Ways, ways)
[Chorus]
I’m tryna get out
Find a subtle way out
Not just cross myself out
Not just disappear
I’ve been tryna stay out
But there’s something in you
I can’t be without
I just need it here
I'm tryna get out
Find a subtle way out
Not to cross myself out
Not to disappear
I've been tryna stay out
But there's something in you
I can't be without
I just need it here
[Bridge]
Oh I need new ways
To waste my time
I need new ways
To waste my time
[Chorus]
I’m tryna get out
Find a subtle way out
Not just cross myself out
Not just disappear
I’ve been tryna stay out
But there's something in you
I can't be without
I just need it here
I'm tryna get out
Find a subtle way out
Not to cross myself out
Not to disappear
I've been tryna stay out
But there's something in you
I can't be without
I just need it here
I just need it
[Outro]
I need new ways
To waste my time
I need new ways
To waste my time
I need new ways
To waste my time
I need new ways
To waste my time
