About This Track

'Frogs' by Failure is a 1994 indie rock track from the album 'Magnified'. The lyrics cast a nervous, surreal sense of being sent away for medical attention, with images of roadside motion and a trapped, slumped perspective, culminating in the cold idea of cleansing in a room without a bath. One line lands on the idea of frogs leaping off the brainstem, a vivid metaphor for mental overload and miscommunication, as the speaker admits “didn't it seem kind” and treats care as something ambiguous rather than reassuring.

"Frogs" is a track by Failure, from the album Magnified, released 8th March 1994. The track is 4:55 long. It's filed under Indie Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about Failure.

Lyrics

Frogs

Sent away to have my
head checked
No more playing
in the sand
Frogs are leaping off
my brainstem
They don't seem
to understand
Roadside blurs against
a big bus
Face is slouched against
the glass
I am headed for
a cleansing
In a room without a bath
Didn't it seem
kind of silly
The way the doctor's
carried on so uptight
It's not bad being
so distant
I can live inside the gap
Frogs are hopping off
my brainstem
So excited to be sane
Didn't it seem
kind of silly
The way the doctor's
carried on so
Now that I've become
a monster to them
Have to keep their fear
turned on all night long
I've gone away to have
my head checked
I guess I need to have
it looked at
