About This Track

'Disarray' by Preoccupations is an indie rock track from the album 'New Material' (2018). The lyrics circle repetition and confusion, piling images of tangles, braids, and a “mangled masquerade” to suggest a life and love rendered chaotic and hard to sort. Over that churn, the singer keeps returning to the pressure of time, positioning the moment as a test that is both difficult and revealing.

"Disarray" is a track by Preoccupations, from the album New Material, released 23rd March 2018. The track is 3:49 long. It's filed under Indie Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Preoccupations.

Lyrics

Disarray

Disarray, disarray, disarray
Disarray, disarray, disarray
Disarray, disarray, disarray
Disarray, disarray, disarray

Through the tangle
Split the braids
Scramble through
In the mangled masquerade interlude

Holding you up to the test of time
It's easy to see why
Everything you've ever been told is a lie
Removed from empty rooms

Disarray, disarray, disarray
Disarray, disarray, disarray
Disarray, disarray, disarray
Disarray, disarray, disarray

Circumstances of the weakest magnitude
Through traumatic trepidation in pursuit

Holding you up to the test of time
It's easy to see why
Everything you've ever been told is a lie
Removed from empty rooms

Disarray, disarray, disarray
Disarray, disarray, disarray
Disarray, disarray, disarray
Disarray, disarray, disarray

Disarray, disarray, disarray
Disarray, disarray, disarray
Disarray, disarray, disarray
Disarray, disarray, disarray
