About This Track
'Reaper' by Cavetown is an alternative track from the album 'Running With Scissors', released in 2026. The lyrics cast a claustrophobic mood of being trapped in repetitive spaces, pushing for distraction while admitting self-deception and a cycle of fading and waste. There is a weary, self-judging honesty to lines like “Every day I'm wasted”. The song’s phrasing circles back on itself, reinforcing the sense of being caught, not quite moving on, and treating trouble as both invitation and consequence.
