About This Track

'Something' by Failure is a 1992 indie rock track from the album 'Comfort'. The lyrics are restless and faintly self-lacerating, moving between a sense of isolation and an attempt to dull it, then turning toward cynical critique. Lines suggest sleeplessness, avoidance, and a feeling that the world is running on dead systems, with money and vanity squandered without shame. There is also a weary impatience at sensory overload, captured in the phrase “Too loud in my ears”.

"Something" is a track by Failure, from the album Comfort, released 14th September 1992. The track is 2:53 long. It's filed under Indie Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about Failure.

Lyrics

Something

I don't feel alone
I can't seem afraid
I wanted to think
I'll sleep it away
Something I forgot
Somewhere to sit down
Some stuff to do up
Some crap that I found

We're the credulous ones
On a dead machine
Blowing bucks into banks with no shame

Too loud in my ears
To fill up my mind
Too black to ignite
Two words who will bind
Which blank did I draw
What kind of a day
Which one has to go
Whatever you say

We're the credulous ones
On a dead machine
Blowing bucks into banks with no shame

Don't try and read this
It means nothing
I can't say this
If you hear it
