    Lyrics:
    Where are we? What the hell is going on?
    The dust has only just begun to fall,
    Crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling.
    Spin me 'round again and rub my eyes.
    This can't be happening.
    When busy streets amass with people
    Would stop to hold their heads heavy.
    Hide and seek.
    Trains and sewing machines.
    All those years they were here first.
    Oily marks appear on walls
    Where pleasure moments hung before.
    The takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this still life.
    Hide and seek.
    Trains and sewing machines. (Oh, you won't catch me around here)
    Blood and tears (hearts),
    They were here first.
    Mmm, what you say?
    Mm, that you only meant well? Well, of course you did.
    Mmm, what you say?
    Mm, that it's all for the best? Of course it is.
    Mmm, what you say?
    Mm, that it's just what we need? And you decided this.
    What you say?
    Mmm, what did She say?
    Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.
    Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
    Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you.
    You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.
    (hide and seek)
    Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth.
    Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut-outs.
    (hide and seek)
    Speak no feeling, no I don't believe you.
    You don't care a bit. You don't care a bit.
    (hide and seek)
    You don't care a bit.
    You don't care a bit.
    You don't care a bit.
    (hide and seek)
    You don't care a bit.
    You don't care a bit.

    I wish I could hear this for the first time again. I used to take my friend's car on short midnight drives and listen to new underground releases on local radio. This had just come out and started playing on one of those eerie, liberating night drives. It was completely possessing and synchronized with the night in the most profound way.

      I love this song because it has a very haunting feel to it in my opinion, it's like a hug from someone who's not there. I guess the best way to describe it is when you trace your fingers over certain parts of your body and you get this tingling feeling all over your body. Its like that, but for 4 minutes and 26 seconds.

    this song honestly helped me realize there was something not right in my head, and at a very young age. I was about 10 or 11 when I first heard it at a dance competition. I couldn’t even pay attention to the dancers or the stage. I just sat with my jaw dropped listening to this masterpiece. I felt her pain, her words really etched out my own pain that was lying dormant. I told my mother that I was always sad so she took me to the doctor. by the time I was 13, i was diagnosed with anxiety disorder, clinical depression, and ptsd. I don’t know if I would have gotten the help I needed if I never heard this song. I have to take medication basically for the rest of my life, but at least I caught it when I did. 15 years later, I graduate tomorrow with a degree in Sound Recording Technology. we’ve watched so many videos with her in them. she’s an absolute legend for her contributions to music and is criminally underrated. thank you for everything Imogen

      i think it's because the mmm whatcha say part is fueled by anger in terms of the narrative of the song. it's the most aggressive part of the song and the lyrics themselves are what you'd typically hear in an argument fueled by anger and sarcasm. like before this part she doesn't understand why what's happening to her but is blindly accepting it. but the mmm whatcha say part is a turning point in her thinking and she's questioning her situation. and it ends so quietly as it seems that she knows that she doesn't have a choice but to accept her situation. at least that's what i think.

    Think I saw Fantano say on Twitter ask the question re what is the saddest song?
    "All those years......(pause as punctuation)....they were here first"
    And there is your answer.
    Having given this a little thought, this song might be the best most interesting song of the 21st Century. This song has no drums, guitars, bass. It has no standard structure. It's a vocal/keytar a cappella.
    This song can't be covered, or bettered, or altered. It stands on it's own as the very best version of an incredibly different and perfect song.
