About This Track

'2001' by Foals is an alternative track from the album 'Life Is Yours', released in 2022. The lyrics paint a bright, beachside scene, full of sweet, fizzy colour, with sunlit skies, sugar rushes and summer rain. Repeated exclamations and references like “Oh my God” give the whole thing an excitable, giddy edge, as if wonder has briefly turned into panic. It is the sort of pop-leaning daydream where the atmosphere feels sticky, luminous, and just slightly out of control.

"2001" is a single by Foals, from the album Life Is Yours, released 16th June 2022. The track is 4:27 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Foals.

Lyrics

2001

Oh, now the sun is up high in the sky
Lost in the sugar rush, violet sky
Beachside candy cane, blue tongues in summer rain
Oh my God
Brighton rock
Oh, now the sun is up, eyes like the sky
Lost in a sugar rush, violet high
No need for Novocain, blue tongues in summer rain
Oh my God
Brighton rock
I've been waiting all day inside
Waiting for a summer sky
When we run wild
We'll come up for air and go under again
I've been waiting all day inside
Waiting for a summer sky
When we run wild
We'll come up for air and go under again
Oh my God
Brighton rock
Oh, now the lights come up, your eyes don't lie
Blue when you call me up, we all know why
Raspberry candy cane, blue tongues in summer rain
Oh my God
Brighton rock
I've been waiting all day inside
Waiting for a summer sky
When we run wild
We'll come up for air and go under again
I've been waiting all day inside (inside)
Waiting for the summer sky
When we run wild
We'll come up for air and go under again
Come up for air and go under again
Come up for air and go under again
Under and up for air
Under and up for air
Under and up for air
Under and up for air
I've been waiting all day inside
Waiting for the summer sky
When we run wild
We'll come up for air and go under again
I've been waiting all day inside (inside)
Waiting for that summer sky
When we run wild
We'll come up for air and go under again
I've been waiting all day inside (inside)
Waiting for the summer sky
Forever below and when we go under we'll come up for air
I've been waiting all day inside (inside)
Waiting for that summer sky
When we run wild
We'll come up for air and go under again
I've
