'Static' by Beck is an alternative track from the album 'Mutations', released in 1998. The lyrics weigh in on self-mockery and the exhaustion of chasing something that never quite lands, with the speaker turning from easy ridicule to a kind of defensive retreat, including the idea of “locking yourself inside”. There are also images of tired holiness and a day that feels prearranged, ending on a clipped turn of phrase that keeps the mood prickly rather than resolved.
"Static" is a track by Beck, from the album Mutations, released 2nd November 1998. The track is 4:19 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Beck.

The Strokes will headline the inaugural Sydney Summertime concert at Centennial Park, joined by Beck, Courtney Barnett and Promiseland.

The Strokes will play Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney in February 2027, with Courtney Barnett, Promiseland and Beck joining selected dates.

Start with the 2024 ‘Baggy$$’ EP, then trace Fcukers’ first singles back to ‘Mothers’.

Beck’s orchestral return makes heartache inviting without smoothing it away, though the songs sometimes settle for a beauty the arrangements work harder to achieve.

Beck’s new ‘Run Away’ video stars Tadanobu Asano and arrives alongside his newly released album ‘Ride Lonesome’.

Beck’s 15th studio album reunites him with collaborators from ‘Sea Change’, ‘Morning Phase’ and ‘Mutations’.
