About This Track

'Bones' by Telenova is a 2021 alternative track from the EP 'Tranquilize - EP'. The lyrics cast the narrator as a labelled outsider, surrounded by artificial people, trapped in their own routines, and pleading to be freed from their “bones”. There is a self-mocking, melodramatic edge to the words, alongside a desire for escape and release, even as the lines turn increasingly urgent.

"Bones" is a single by Telenova, from the album Tranquilize - EP, released 1st July 2021. The track is 4:55 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Telenova.

Lyrics

Bones

They call me fanatic, they call me absurd
The people are plastic out there in the world
I live in asylums, I'm caught in a trap
Won't you free me from my bones?
I'm melodramatic, how lucky is that?

Kill me softly, make me scream
Call me crazy, set me free
Everything I wanna be
Kill me softly, make me scream
Call me crazy, set me free
Everything I'll ever need
Say you'll die for me

I was dreamin' of blue skies in California
While you were loading your gun
Thе time has come
Red and bluе lights chase us across the border
Forever out on the run

I was dreamin' of blue skies in California
While you were loading your gun
Screamin', "Run, baby, run"
We have to go on
Our escape is only seconds away

They call me erratic, they call me disturbed
A love that is tragic for better or worse
I live in the violence, I'm caught in a trap
Won't you free me from my bones?
I live in a panic, I'm happy with that

I was dreamin' of blue skies in California
While you were loading your gun
The time has come
Red and blue lights chase us across the border
Forever out on the run

I was dreamin' of blue skies in California
While you were loading your gun
Screamin', "Run, baby, run"
We have to go on
Our escape is only seconds away

Kill me softly, make me scream
Call me crazy, set me free
Everything I wanna be
Kill me softly, make me scream
Call me crazy, set me free
Everything I'll ever need
Say you'll die for me

I was dreamin' of blue skies in California
While you were loading your gun
The time has come
Red and blue lights chase us across the border
Forever out on the run

I was dreamin' of blue skies in California
While you were loading your gun
Screamin', "Run, baby, run"
We have to go on
Our escape is only seconds away

Telenova are ready to explode with their brilliant new single, 'Teardrop'

It might be all thirty degree temperatures and surf on the beach at home in Australia for Telenova, but with a Really Very Good new single, and an album ready to go, the UK better watch out.
