    My bro Watsky deserves so much more than the entertainment industry will ever allow him. Bro stands for what he stands for, and has a flow you can't groom. Loved him since 2016. Haven't ever stopped being strong like an OAK, and hearing the sad sound of a guitar string snapping. ❤

    [Verse 1: Mieka]
    Minding my own business
    Knock at the door, who is it?
    Be right there, one minute
    Gotta get up and go get it
    Got white hair, eyes all crazy
    Now most madmen don't faze me
    But these guys, I'll admit it, got me scared we're finished
    Chorus
    The scientists proved we're all gonna die
    They got charts and equations, the how and the why
    You did not invite em and neither did I
    But they're here, drink up, we're all gonna die
    Poetry section 1
    Ghosts must always feel like they're visiting their old high school
    They don't recognize any of these new kids
    The halls, they twist the same, but there are all these odd new posters on the walls
    When I'm trying to get to get bed
    I start thinking about endings
    And instead of simply counting trying to sleep
    I'm counting down
    I'm sacrificing sheep
    At parties
    I wander from room to room not sure what I'm looking for
    I think I'm supposed to find another person here
    When I smoke too much weed
    And I get paranoid that every pair of eyes is glued to me
    And maybe they are
    And I'm not crazy
    And the spirit of every bastard who ever had a drink in this place is back for old times' sake
    Maybe there's a million of them
    Having their own party beside us
    And they're staring
    Thinking, "Look at all those lonely, solid people
    Pretending to check their cell phones
    Grandma lived 99 years and never learned to drive
    At the end of her life
    She didn't know one person left in her own age
    God's a bully and he makes it rain dodgeballs
    You can stand off in the corner and you might last a little longer
    But you'll never win that way
    Verse 2: Mieka]
    I go do my laundry
    Those dogs are right behind me
    Get lost in some party
    Those creeps will always find me
    Who are they? What is this?
    I mind my own damn business
    Always there to remind me all about their findings
    The scientists proved we're all gonna die
    They got charts and equations, the how and the why
    You did not invite em and neither did I
    But they're here, drink up, we're all gonna die
    The scientists proved we're all gonna die
    They got charts and equations, the how and the why
    You did not invite em and neither did I
    But they're here, drink up, we're all we're all gonna die
    Poetry 2
    You're telling me a little vodka could kill me?
    How do you even know it's there?
    It's so still you can see right through it
    Well you can see through me too
    Said the ghost
    And I'm here
    You know because you can feel me
    And that makes sense
    Because I'm too fucked up to be skeptical right now
    You get drunk and start believing in things
    Like that shapes and even better shapes
    Like that a night with some stranger's gonna make you happy
    The only people brave enough for suicide are the cowards
    We're all looking out of the corner of our eyes
    For where to go next
    Like "this party sucks, there must be someplace better"
    The ghosts, they know we're thinking like chumps. they know it's not important who we go home with tonight
    Partly cause they can't generate friction, so they can't have sex
    But mostly because party is right here
    And it's the best party ever
    I mean look bro, ben franklin is making out with marie curie
    Fucking classic, Reagan's doing his falling out the window bit again
    Casper can't even hold his liquor
    It goes right through him
    You never seen smoke rings until you've seen a Ghengis Khan hit the hookah
    Chris Farley'll even let you use him as a vaporizer bag if you ask real nice
    Our eyes are little projectors
    Life's a drive-in movie theater and my grandma needs a ride

I didn't know that music this down to earth could come out at clear as it does. There's no beating around the bush in this music and honestly that's exactly how it should be. I'll always be a fan as long as the music stays true. Good work man

  • @ihategooglepolicies6297
    @ihategooglepolicies6297 9 лет назад +6

    I think watsky is a talented artist and I applaud him for being unconventional. If given the opportunity I would love to sit down with him and find what makes him tick, what compels him to pen lyrics. I do have to say though, his ambiguous thoughts for a track like this are loose and a jumbled mess at best. I do think he is a better artist when he raps fast ( a phenomenal one at that, much better than I) but I think there is a lot of development he could experience if he really analyzed his lyrics and tried to have his words coincide with the emotion of the chorus. It didn't match up to me, but I will say that suicide line about cowards are the only ones brave enough to do was pure genius. The rest was forgettable. Keep up the hard work man and hats off to Mieka Pauley for the awesome chorus and the artist. From one creative writer with similar ambitions to another, I hope to hear more from you watsky

    40 years from now, when i'm an old grandpa, I will preach the hidden lessons i've learned from Watsky to my grandchildren.

    This song is beautiful. I can't believe how expertise Watsky has become. Seeing a poem that means so much, that has such feeling and yet has humor at the same time. Thank you sir. You've made me feel something astonishing.

    I'm surprised you're able to be filled with that much talent and you haven't exploded yet.
