Continuing the brighter and more melodic sound established in “Marigold,” track 4 on Periphery III: Select Difficulty lingers on the theme of achieving serenity despite being at rock bottom.
“The Way the News Goes…” gets its name from the episode of Rick and Morty, “Total Rickall,” in which Rick at...
[Verse 1]
Wake up
As I stumble into a blinding light
Deeper breaths enough to kill the highest highs
Take one good look, I'm at the lowest low again
Down at the bottom, but I'm fine
Tears march to lullabies and beat me like a drum, oh no!
It's not your average fucking misery
This song has chords, but not a single one sounds new or fun
Hit strings in dissonance
Pick on and on and on!
[Chorus]
Show them how to fly away when this world is torn
If you feel like dying, lose that forever
You're shining and it shows
You're shining and it shows
Living through the highest highs
You're shining and it shows
Down at the bottom, but I'm fine
[Verse 2]
I try to feed it, but it still wants more
Give me that feeling that I'm looking for
[Chorus]
Show them how to fly away when this world is torn
If you feel like dying, lose that forever
We're shining and it shows
[Bridge]
Wake up
As I stumble into a blinding light
Deeper breaths enough to kill the highest highs
Take one look and I'm at the lowest low again
At the bottom, but I'm fine
At the bottom, but it's all so wrong
(We're shining and it shows)
(Wake up)
At the bottom, but it's all so wrong
[Outro]
Tears march to lullabies and beat me like a drum
That's not your average fucking misery
This song has chords, but not a single one sounds new or fun
So long to sanity
For now it's how it goes
Tears march to lullabies and beat me like a drum
That's not your average fucking misery
This heart has chords, but not a single one sounds new or fun
So long to sanity
For now it's how it goes
