About This Track

'Distorted Fields' by Failure is an alternative track from the album 'In the Future Your Body Will Be the Furthest Thing from Your Mind' (2018). The lyrics frame deceit and self-serving distortion as a loop, with blame presented as a kind of frenzy, and “twist your view of the real” acting as a blunt directive. Repeated insistence that concealment prevents sight builds a grim logic, culminating in an image of crisis held back only when the flood of distortion stops. The overall mood is accusatory and bleak, as if the speaker is calling out a pattern of avoidance and denial.

"Distorted Fields" is a track by Failure, from the album In the Future Your Body Will Be the Furthest Thing from Your Mind, released 12th September 2018. The track is 3:36 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about Failure.

Lyrics

Distorted Fields

Every time you roll another lie
Twist your view of the real
Of all the ways you could have handled it
You chose the right to conceal

You can't bleed
If you don't have the blood
You won't see
Until you stop the flood

Distorted fields of frantic blame
Bend your view of the real
You could have learned to stand up straight
You could have tried to feel

You can't bleed
If you don't have the blood
You won't see
Until you stop the flood

Distorted fields of broken words
Cloud the air we breathe
Let's cut it back to the bone of truth
And see what hides there alone in the dark

You can't bleed
If you don't have the blood
You won't see
Until you stop the flood

You can't bleed (Couldn't give up, couldn't give up)
If you don't have the blood (Couldn't let up, couldn't let go)
You won't see (Couldn't give up, couldn't give up)
Until you stop the flood (Couldn't let up, couldn't let go)
