lyrics
ALL THE KIDS THEY THINK THAT THEY’RE ROMANTICS
AND IT’S SWEET BUT IT’S SHORT SIGHTED AND TRAGIC
AS THE SIGHTS ARE NICE GETTING LOST ALONG THE WAY
BUT
ALL THAT TIME JUST SHARPENING KNIVES IS A WASTE
WHEN
THE DULL BLADE IT CAN CUT JUST AS DEEP
IT GOES FROM LUST TO LOVE TO WANT TO NEED
CODEPENDENCY CAN FEEL SO CHEAP
WOULDN’T YOU AGREE?
AH YA, BUT
WE’LL ALWAYS HAVE
THE RECORDS THAT WE DON’T KNOW HOW TO SPLIT UP
NOT SURE EXACTLY WHO BOUGHT WHAT
THIS AIN’T SUPPOSED TO COME OFF AS HOPELESS
OR OPTIMISTIC OR STOIC
JUST POINTLESS
WE’LL ALWAYS HAVE
THE NIGHTS THAT NEITHER OF US WANT TO TRUST
NOT SURE EXACTLY WHO’S DONE WHAT
NOT SURE EXACTLY WHO’S GOING TO GIVE UP ON US
WHEN WE WERE KIDS WE WERE SO ENCHANTED
AND IT WAS NICE BUT ELABORATE AND MANIC
PACKING UP ALL THE GAMES WE USED TO PLAY
I NEVER THOUGHT WE’D LOOK BACK AT THOSE YEARS AS A WASTE BUT
THE OLD TRICKS THEY’RE SO EASILY SEEN
REMEMBERING NOW DOESN’T EVEN FEEL LIKE THAT WAS EVEN ME
YOUNG LOVE AGES SO CHEAP
WOULDN’T YOU AGREE
WE’LL ALWAYS HAVE
THE RECORDS THAT WE DON’T KNOW HOW TO SPLIT UP
NOT SURE EXACTLY WHO BOUGHT WHAT
THIS AIN’T SUPPOSED TO COME OFF AS HOPELESS
OR OPTIMISTIC OR STOIC
JUST POINTLESS
AN OLIVE BRANCH
AND A LITTLE TIME PASSED
MAYBE WE’LL GET SOME OF THAT MAGIC BACK,
MINUS THE SUSPICIONS AND CONTRADICTIONS
AND JUST LET A LITTLE LOVE GROW AND RELAX
AND IT’S SWEET BUT IT’S SHORT SIGHTED AND TRAGIC
AS THE SIGHTS ARE NICE GETTING LOST ALONG THE WAY
BUT
ALL THAT TIME JUST SHARPENING KNIVES IS A WASTE
WHEN
THE DULL BLADE IT CAN CUT JUST AS DEEP
IT GOES FROM LUST TO LOVE TO WANT TO NEED
CODEPENDENCY CAN FEEL SO CHEAP
WOULDN’T YOU AGREE?
AH YA, BUT
WE’LL ALWAYS HAVE
THE RECORDS THAT WE DON’T KNOW HOW TO SPLIT UP
NOT SURE EXACTLY WHO BOUGHT WHAT
THIS AIN’T SUPPOSED TO COME OFF AS HOPELESS
OR OPTIMISTIC OR STOIC

WE’LL ALWAYS HAVE

This entire album rips. I've had this on repeated play several times since it came out. I wish I had heard it a week earlier when they played in Boston. One of my fav albums in this genre period.

Aggressively Frantic and sad songs disguised as upbeat / happy ones. Rot is a jam with a capital J.

The melancholy and frustration definitely gets to you.

Toronto band Respire deliver a post-hardcore tour de force on the largest scale possible, orchestrally rich and incessantly uncompromising.
go to album -
Terrific, marauding post-punk that will thrill fans of Idles with its pairing of cutting riffs and wry spoken/sung lyrics.
go to album -
An expansive intermingling of noise rock and art pop from Aussie rockers Agency; All sales from this record go directly to charity.
