About This Track

'Static Resistance' by Hookworms is an alternative track from the album 'Microshift' (2018). The lyrics look to keep going once the motion stops, treating survival as something to celebrate. There is an insistence on getting past what’s stuck inside, with the singer framed in terms of “static resistance”, and a gentle reassurance that fragility is not a fault. The mood is resilient rather than triumphant, pitched between release, endurance, and self-acceptance as the voice cuts through the noise.

"Static Resistance" is a single by Hookworms, from the album Microshift, released 2nd February 2018. The track is 3:49 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Hookworms.

Lyrics

Static Resistance

Oh, it's always when you stop, you gotta celebrate
Getting through, getting past
Getting all this out your system
I gotta celebrate
All my pros
Feeling like this isn't prose, just static resistance

There's nothing wrong with being fragile in life
There's nothing wrong with being fragile, all right
I ran from my feelings
I ran from the city
I ran from desire
Lust haunts us forever

But soon comes night
And letting go of light
I can't see I've got a future
Double bluff, you were right
I can't look back this time
It's always when you stop, it seems so hard at times

It's always when you stop, you gotta celebrate
Getting through, getting past
Getting all this out your system
I gotta celebrate
All my pros
Feeling like this isn't prose, just static resistance

I'm facing down, I'm feeling awful
I'm facing down, I'm feeling awful
I'm facing down, I'm feeling awful
False hope forever
I'm facing down, I'm feeling awful
False hope forever
I'm facing down, I'm feeling awful
False hope forever
False hope forever
