About This Track

'BTN' by Architects is a 2011 hard rock track from the album 'The Here and Now'. The lyrics are haunted by a persistent mental loop, framed as addiction that “pull[s]” the speaker under and leaves them unable to shake it. Over a sense of pressure and repetition, there is an admission of being held, with the refrain-like momentum building the feeling that the cycle will never stop.

"BTN" is a track by Architects, from the album The Here and Now, released 21st January 2011. The track is 3:58 long. It's filed under Hard Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 11 articles about Architects.

Lyrics

BTN

It's run down the back of my head, the back of my mind
About a hundred thousand times
And I can't seem to shake it, seem to shake it
Addiction's tying me down, ooh

Pull me under
I can't take it much longer
Pull me under
And it will never stop

You've got a hold on me
Like a constant need inside for nicotine
I've been through this patch before
You've got a hold on me
Like a constant need inside for nicotine
I've been through this patch before
I've been through this patch before

I'm lost and alone in my head
And I can't make sense of myself
I need to find a simple way to make this pain just disappear
I know I'll never feel safe in my own skin, ooh

Pull me under
I can't take it much longer
Pull me under
And it will never stop

You've got a hold on me
Like a constant need inside for nicotine
I've been through this patch before
You've got a hold on me
Like a constant need inside for nicotine
I've been through this patch before

(No matter how long I'm gone for)
(It's at the back of my mind)
(Another sleepless night)
Somebody, take me home
No matter how long I'm done for
It's in the back of my mind
Another sleepless night
Somebody, take me home

I'm so far down
And there's nothing anyone can say to me
I'm so down, I'm so down

(I'm so down, down, I'm so down, I'm so down)

You've got a hold on me
Like a constant need inside for nicotine
I've been through this patch before
You've got a hold on me
Like a constant need inside for nicotine
I've been through this patch before
I've been through this patch before
