Frightened Rabbit's fourth studio album, Pedestrian Verse hits stores across the US today. I have to admit I'm a big fan of these guys but when I first started hearing previews of the new LP back in the fall that I was a little underwhelmed. Fast forward a few months and this is an album that has not only grown on me, but one that I've truly fallen hard for. One such track that I completely missed the boat on was "Dead Now' which could be one of the best and catchiest thing the band has done. From the slinky bass line to the dark and somber lyrics mixed with the upbeat tempo, this has been my go-to song on Pedestrian Verse the last week or so.
Give a listen and read along below.
Frightened Rabbit- "Dead Now"
I'm not myself, I am
A broken boxer stuffed with glass and sand
This is not how health should feel
Songs sung from the lungs of the elderly
I'm dead now, check my chest and you'll see
The life has been mined from me, burned for the heat, oh
I'm dead now, can you hear the relief
As life's belligerent symphony's finally ceased, oh
I put my heart where my mouth is
Now I can't thumb it down again
I've gone deviled my kidneys
Now he's living inside of me
If we can't bring an exorcist
I'll settle for one of your stiffest drinks
We'll scream hell towards heaven's door
And now I'll piss on your front porch
I'm dead now, check my chest and you'll see
The life has been mined from me, burned for the heat, oh
I'm dead now, can you hear the relief
As life's belligerent symphony's finally ceased, oh
We're all dead now, join hands and we'll sing
To the glory of hell and the virtue of sin
There's something wrong with me
There's something wrong with me
There's something wrong with me
And there is nothing like poetry
So there you rob me in spite of these tics and inconsistencies
There is something wrong with me
Oh, there's something wrong with me
Oh, there's nothing like poetry
Oh you rob me in spite of these tics and inconsistencies
There is something wrong with me
