About This Track

'Blank' by Failure is an indie rock track from the album 'Fantastic Planet' (1996). The lyrics circle numbness and evasion, with a harsh, self-soothing catalogue of chemical and domestic images, alongside the refusal to turn on the camera. A repeated sense of liking the blank way sits beside talk of filling up life and not caring for anything, then shifts to seeking dampened spirits. At one point, it moves through dark domestic metaphors, including “black and bitter spoons”, before closing mid-thought.

"Blank" is a track by Failure, from the album Fantastic Planet, released 12th August 1996. The track is 5:39 long. It's filed under Indie Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about Failure.

Lyrics

Blank

No conviction in your numb mind
A hidden cell of chemicals
Keep your soul on my projection
Never turn on the camera
Because
I kinda like the blank way
I fill up my life
I don't care for nothing
That gets me too high
I want some dampened spirits
And black and bitter spoons
I'm not looking for affection
I'm living on the moon
No conviction in your voice box
It's buried low beneath the guilt
It all seems real as you whisper
She lies warm and the smell is you
But she knows
I kinda like the blank way
You fill up my mind
I don't care for nothing
That gets me too high
I want some dampened spirits
And black and bitter spoons
I'm not looking for reflection
I'm living on the moon
Here I am
Right at home
In my crater
Here I am
Feeling old
Here I am
Wishing for
A miracle
I need you to know
That I like the blank way
I fill up the sky
And I care for nothing
You put in my mind
I like the blank way
You fill up my mind
I like the blank way
You fill up my mind
I like the blank way
You fill up my mind
