lyrics

A hot breath on the back of my neck by someone pushing his way to the bar. And to my left, somebody's father is pressing right up against someone's daughter with shark eyes. And I... I'm over it. And now I... I'm over it. And now I'm smoking too much, it's the only excuse. I have to get away from filling my black lungs with cheap perfume. And I... I'm over it. And now I... I'm over it. And now everybody's talking but no one's saying a damn thing. Just taking turns reciting something absurd that they heard once. The things that I would do just to get inside of some woman's blurred view. And all the things that I would do to get out once I actually do. And I... I'm over it. And now I... I'm over it. I'll buy a drink for a stranger. She's been giving me eyes all night. Maybe give her an empty line.

Now I'm part of it. I'm part of it. (And now everybody's talking but no one's saying a damn thing). I'm part of it. (Just taking turns reciting something absurd that they heard once). Now I'm part of it. (The things that I would do just to get inside of some woman's blurred view). I'm part of it. (And all the things that I would do to get out).

On Circles
by Caspian

supported by 11 fans who also own “Being Human Is Weird”

Sometimes, I find my listening to Post-Rock that is overly depressing sounding, and its good to balance that out with records that are more "lighter" sounding. It just lifts me up so much! I love how hopeful this record feels to me. veritas_seeker

You and I
by OBROTHER

supported by 11 fans who also own “Being Human Is Weird”

A darker and more expansive album for an already dark and expansive band. You & I is the aural equivalent of moving through the depths of an empty forest at midnight thrownofan

Why Aren't I Home?
by Athletics

supported by 9 fans who also own “Being Human Is Weird”

Athletics shaped the emotional yet contemplative emo-influenced post-rock songs, either to cure or to tear off mentality—depends on the listener's. My favourites: "Why Aren't I Home", "Fairview", "Affliction", and "Why Aren't I Home (Orchestral Mix)". Thank you so much! use2alone
