The Sadness (GG x Bonobo)

[Chorus]
If you feelin’ shit, put your headphones in
Listen to this and maybe it will give
You the understandin’ that others are right there
Feelin’ the same fears that you might feel
Yeah, then you notice that
You not alone, with what you feel
Is on you, it is on us all
At different times, the sadness falls upon us

[Verse 1]
The other day I was talkin’ to my uncle
The other day I was talkin’ to my dad
The other day I was talkin’ to my sister
There were strange similarities in the conversations we had
Got me thinkin’ ‘bout all the individuals
That I’vе never met bеfore who are goin’ through
Mad difficult times, maybe similar to mine
Or if completely unrelated, it may still have an invisible tie
A deep-seeded pain that sometimes
Makes this feel like an unliveable life
Lookin’ at the sky, sayin’ “Give me a sign”
Whether a metaphysical or a visible type
But it feels like you need a miracle, right?
Stuck inside revolvin’ doors at a pivotal time
That egotistical pride makes you bottle it up and
Set it aside, an acidic sedative cynical wine
That you guzzle for a buzz, but after a while
That fog arrives and it fucks with your mind
It ain’t worth it, you put the bottle down
Or better yet, yell and smash it on the ground
Let all the emotions come bubblin’ out
Better than bein’ like an alcoholic stumblin’ ‘round
On the real though, these feelin’s that you got
They fuckin’ real, yo, you deal with ‘em a lot
The reason that I know this is that I dealt with ‘em myself
And most people that I know have seen the hell within themselves
Reason that I know this is that I dealt with ‘em myself
And I had to learn to grow and ask for a little help

[Chorus]
So if you feelin’ shit, put your headphones in
Listen to this and maybe it will give
You the understandin’ that others are right there
Feelin’ the same fears that you might feel
Yeah, then you notice that
You not alone, with what you feel
Is on you, it is on us all
At different times, the sadness falls upon us

[Verse 2]
The other day I was chillin’ with a friend
The other day I was chattin’ with my brother, and
Pain is somethin’ that they all have in common
We wouldn’t get sentimental when it rains if it wasn’t
It’s funny how it ain’t that cool to talk about it
Shit, it’s not even that cool to write a song about it
Online, seems like so many are hiding
Behind a PR approved image they provided
Instagram’s [?] somebody’s life
You scroll through the happy pictures at the end of the night
Think “This is what my life’s meant to be like
How the hell am I ever meant to compare to these guys?”
So you dress up your room, you smile and take a selfie
Pick the right filter, but really it ain’t helpin’
The crazy thing is, another person sees that
Repeats the same process, keepin’ the cycle intact
We a fucked up generation
Oversimplified feelin’s in a GIF animation
Afficionado superficialist, interconnected
Army of anxiety, [?] exhibitionist

[Chorus]
So if you feelin’ shit, put your headphones in
Listen to this and maybe it will give
You the understandin’ that others are right there
Feelin’ the same fears that you might feel
Yeah, then you notice that
You not alone, with what you feel
Is on you, it is on us all
At different times, the sadness falls upon us
The sadness falls upon us
Yeah

[Verse 3]
Fuck that nineteen-fifties dad type of handlin’ it
I wanna get inside your head, start dismantlin’ it
The fire licks before you even knew the candle was lit
So get your elephant on, and start stampin’ on it
It ain’t ever too late to start feelin’ well again
If someone’s there to help, man, let ‘em on in
I been there, I swear to God, as bad as it gets
But came out another person and I’m thankful for this

[Outro]
So if you’re feelin’ shit, put your headphones in
So if you’re feelin’ shit, put your headphones in
So if you’re feelin’ shit, put your headphones in
Put your headphones in, put your headphones in
So if you’re feelin’ shit, put your headphones in
