About This Track
'Black Out' by Pavement is an alternative track from the album 'Wowee Zowee' (1995). In its lyrics, a Sunday drive becomes a tour of shut doors and missing recognition, with talk that lands nowhere and “parting shots” that feel final. The images are restless and physical, with thoughts likened to rattlesnakes, fault lines, and something awkwardly alive skittering across frigid air shafts. It is a piece of paranoid, oblique narration, where nobody has a clue and the atmosphere seems to tighten into a small, inevitable failure.
"Black Out" is a single by Pavement, from the album Wowee Zowee, released 9th April 1995. The track is 2:10 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 5 articles about Pavement.
