Asking Alexandria - They Don't Want What We Want (And They Don't Care)

 

Can you feel the hairs stand on the back of your neck?

Can you feel your heart beating right out of your chest?

Panic!

 

There’s something strange going on in this room

The walls are melting

I can hear the ceiling screaming to come down

I can’t believe we built this room

It was meant to be a sanctuary, not a prison

There’s something strange going on in this house

It’s like we’re pushing all these buttons Trying to start a war

amongst ourselves But we don’t know what we want

All we know is that we don’t want what they want

What we want

What they want

 

Can you feel the hairs stand on the back of your neck?

Can you feel your heart beating right out of your chest?

Can you feel your bones ache like there’s something within?

Can you feel your blood pumping inside of your skin?

Can you feel it?

Panic!

 

There’s something wrong with the castle they’re in

Watching over every single move that we make

Try to see past their perfect smiles

They were supposed to be protectors not o-fucking-ppressors

There’s something wrong with the way that they speak

Like the more they take from us the better off we’ll be

Anything to get power they seek

All I know they don’t want what we want

What we want

What they want

 

Can you feel the hairs stand on the back of your neck?

Can you feel your heart beating right out of your chest?

Can you feel your bones ache like there’s something within?

Can you feel your blood pumping inside of your skin?

Can you feel it?

Panic!

 

We don’t want what they want

They don’t want what we want

We don’t want what they want

And they don’t care

Panic!

 

요 몇 달 사이에 가장 많이 들어버린 노래

 

다른 Asking Alexandria 노래는 듣지도 않으면서 이것만 듣는다.

 

운전하며 유튜브 프리미엄을 듣다 똑딱거리는 시계 소리와 공간을 두고 울리는 기타소리로 시작하는 노래의 인트로에 꽂혀서 듣게된 노래. 라이브용 노래도, 페스티벌 슬램을 위한 써클핏용 노래도 아니다. 시계 소리와 같이 나오는 신디사운드를 챙기고 노래에 알맞는 보컬소리를 들으려면 이 노래는 이어폰용 노래가 맞다. 반항의 냄새가 짙은 노래에 가사이지만 정작 사운드는 실내용 이어폰에 알맞는 아이러니가 새삼 마음에 들어서 어디서든 듣고 있는 노래가 되어버렸다.
