About This Track

'Kaputt' by Destroyer is a 2011 alternative track from the album 'Kaputt'. The lyrics frame an aimless routine of wasting days, chasing girls, and pursuing drug use in late-night rooms, with a wash of pop-sounding excess, including “smash hits” and melody-making references. The voice sounds both fascinated and detached, as if the noise and glamour are simply another way to drift through the night.

"Kaputt" is a track by Destroyer, from the album Kaputt, released 25th January 2011. The track is 6:18 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Destroyer.

Lyrics

Kaputt

Wasting your days
Chasing some girls, alright
Chasing cocaine through the back rooms
Of the world all night

Wasting your days
Chasing some girls, alright
Chasing cocaine through the back rooms
Of the world all night

Sounds, smash hits, melody maker NME
All sound like a dream to me
All sound like a dream to me
All sounds like a dream

Sounds, smash hits, melody maker NME
All sound like a dream to me
All sound like a dream to me
All sounds like a dream

Step out of your toga and into the fog
You are a prince on the ocean
In the pinch, in the sky, in your eye

Step out of your toga and into the ocean
Look they got your prince on the phone
In the pinch, in the sky, in your eye

In the sky, in your eye
Pinch, in the sky, in your eye

I wrote a song for America, who knew?
I wrote a song for America, who knew?
Who knew?
