Not only does this song have killer dynamics and trance-like timing per what we've come to know and love about Mutemath, but it's got quite the message.

Also: note the keytar.



The crowds roll by and I'm falling in
Everyone's invincible, but it's just pretend
And we all freaked out, what a shame
When only tears know how to remind us we all break the same
We all break the same

Everything we've built could be our demise
It's the sticks and stones that wear us down that often save our lives
And we all freaked out, what a shame
When only tears know how to remind us we all break the same
We all break the same

The different stars tonight will somehow fade the same
And all the tears we cry tell us we're made the same
And when we fall aside, let's hope we fall in place
We built our different lives, but they all break the same
Break the same

Different worlds and different hearts
Different souls and different parts
We all, we all break the same
~Break the Same
Mutemath, Mutemath

This feels extra good today. Truisms. Lately it's felt like so much is worthless, I'm this angry, jaded version of me.



"Well if you're in from the start
Then we're in this together
If you're not then I'll have to
Take on this world
Cause this world can't take on me
I won't let go
I feel so lost without it
Crawl down my throat
I just can't think about it now

If it's your turn to live
Then it's my turn to give it up
And if you drop the bomb
Then I'll pick it up

I'm afraid to be
(I'd stick it out by my heart can't hack it)
Just an example of inconsistency
I feel like I'm jaded
I've given it all I have to give
Burnt out, frustrated
I feel like I'm an enemy of the world"

In a "Pretend You're Alive" mood tonight.

Because sometimes, that is the only way to convince yourself to keep going on. Pretend. Sooner or later you're be some place new, and it won't be so hard to move on.

The absurdity level of this video is pretty high, and for that I'm grateful.

This makes me want to see them live.

"In the backseats of burned out cars.
In the disenchantment lane.
The ideal angels twist and turn and ask forgiveness for future mistakes.
But you and I we've been through this.
Maybe 100 times before.
Always hitching rides with strangers.
Papa warned us about before

But you know the summer always brought it.
That wild and reckless breeze.
And in the backseats we just tried to find some room for our knees.
And in the backseats we just tried to find some room to breathe.
And in the backseats we just tried to find some room to breathe.

And in the wild desert sun, we drove straight on through the night.
We rode the fever out of Boston.
Dreamed of California lights.
Come July, we'll ride the Ferris Wheel.
Go round and round and round.
And if you never let me go, well I will never let you down.

And you know the summer always brought it.
All those wild and reckless breezes.
And in the backseats we just tried to find some room for our knees.
And in the backseats we just tried to find some room to breathe.
And now the backseats we just try to find some room to breathe.

And these cowboys all go crazy in the heat.
Chasing the lights in all the girls
along the Santa Anna streets that they're just dying to meet.
It meant nothing to me.

You know the summer always brought it.
That wild and reckless breeze.
And in the backseats we just tried to find some room for our knees."
