About This Track

'Off the Hook' by CSS is an alternative track from the album 'Cansei de Ser Sexy' (2005). The lyrics fixate on stillness and silence, with the singer unsettled by other people’s talk and determined to break the atmosphere, repeating “I’m off the hook”. There is a push towards shared space and staying put without being stuck, as the voice invites a sit-down and keeps talking as a kind of release.

"Off the Hook" is a single by CSS, from the album Cansei de Ser Sexy, released 30th September 2005. The track is 2:43 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about CSS.

Lyrics

Off the Hook

Why is that we stand so still? (Yeah)
People gonna start thinking we're statues
This silence is disturbing me
People talk but I can't hear

I'm off the hook (off hook)
Off the hook
I think I'm off the hook, baby
Off the hook

Let's find us both a place to sit
The more I talk the more my bones get heavy
This silence is disturbing me
Don't they know I can't read lips?

I'm off the hook (off hook)
Off the hook
I think I'm off the hook, baby
Off the hook

Off the hook
Yeah (yeah)

Yeah, you were right, this is really fun
I never got this dumb before

Off the hook (off hook)
Off the hook
I think I'm off the hook, baby
Off the hook

Why is that we stand so still?
People gonna start thinking we're statues
This silence is disturbing me
People talk but I can't hear
I'm off the hook
