About This Track

'obvious' by Cavetown is a 2024 pop track from the EP 'little vice - EP'. The lyrics cast a worried, self-interrogating mood, with lines that place lying and sinking imagery alongside a grim, if curious, thought about dying. A persistent question, sharpened by the repeated hook, turns on whether someone has noticed the speaker has not been themselves, and closes on an insistence that it is “obvious”.

"obvious" is a track by Cavetown, from the album little vice - EP, released 23rd February 2024. The track is 3:12 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Cavetown.

Lyrics

obvious

Lyin' on your side
Sinkin' like a stone
Lyin' to me right
Wondering what it's like

If I die tonight, I'm just curious
Haven't been myself, is it obvious?
Tie the knot, pull the plug, is it obvious?
(Wondering what it's like)
(Wondering what it's like)
(Wondering what it's like)

Eat another uppercut
I'm so hungry but I've had enough
Drop a couple crumbs in conversation
It's all just a bit of fun
Can't promise you a fight, it's already done
Crying's not polite
Let the boa bite, swallowing the gum
(Wondering what it's like)

If I die tonight, I'm just curious
Haven't been myself, is it obvious?
Tie the knot, pull the plug, is it obvious?

Wondering what- Wondering what it's like
Wondering what it's like
Wondering what- Wondering what it's like
Wondering what it's like

If I die tonight, I'm just curious
Haven't been myself, is it obvious?
Tie the knot, pull the plug, is it obvious?

Wondering what it's like
