About This Track

'June' by Destroyer is a 2022 alternative track from the album 'Labyrinthitis'. The lyrics take aim at performative optimism and the grinding routine of power, insisting that “fortune’s wheel” is only for show while fancy language collapses into resignation and resentful bargaining for more pay. The mood is bleakly resigned rather than dramatic, built on the sense that people keep nodding along even as nothing genuinely changes.

"June" is a single by Destroyer, from the album Labyrinthitis, released 25th March 2022. The track is 6:33 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Destroyer.

Lyrics

June

I'd be lying if I didn't say
Fortune's wheel's just for show
In this brutal turning
Nothing changes the slow grind away

Fancy language dies
And everyone's happy to see her go

Everyone's happy to strike for more pay
Happy to strike for more pay
Happy to strike

I'd be lying if I didn't say
Fortune's wheel's just for show
In this brutal turning
Nothing changes the cold light of day

Fancy language dies
And everyone's happy to see her go
A snow angel's a fucking idiot somebody made!
A fucking idiot someone made in the snow

Then you look up by chance from the disco dance
You're doing into the light of the moon
It's June and you'vе been proved
Yes, you are rеnewed
Yes, you are renewed

(I think it's you)

(I think it's you)

(I think it's you)

(I think it's you)

(I think it's you)

(You)
(You)
