About This Track
'Walls' by Beck is an alternative track from the album 'Modern Guilt' (2008). The lyrics move between fleeting exhilaration and a slide into malaise, with a self-aware sense of performance and unease. Faces show up in veneer, fear gets reflected back, and the narrator grapples with the strain of living with that gap, closing on the blunt question of how to carry it. The mood is restless and inward, with the refrain pivoting on the realisation that feeling can turn quickly, even when you think you should be better than the moment. One phrase sets the tone: “some days it turns into malaise”.
"Walls" is a track by Beck, from the album Modern Guilt, released 7th July 2008. The track is 2:22 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 8 articles about Beck.

Nigel Godrich mixes his first album of new material since 'Hyperspace'.

Duet version arrives as Beck prepares to launch his North American tour run.

The Nigel Godrich-mixed single precedes extensive theatre and amphitheatre run this autumn.

The song was previously played at his intimate performance at Lafayette in London last September.

'We Love L.A.' features an impressive lineup of guests including Judd Apatow, Pink, Inara George, Beck, Grohl’s daughter Violet, Karen O, and Tenacious D.
Beck sounds as vital and important as ever.
