glass animals is just one of those bands which i feel like should be more popular
-
I love how this whole album is an absolute bop to listen to, even the lyrics range from depressing, to distressing, to disturbing. Truly a great album.
-
I know this is weird, mainly because a lot of my friends don't see it, but I always felt like this was a sad song.
-
Great song 15/10. Would listen to on repeat for hours
-
Why do I feel like this is the other side to "The Other Side of Paradise" ?
-
This song makes me think of how my mom treated me. Always saying I looked fat (I'm a little chubby at MOST), telling me I looked disgusting (I have depression some days basic self maintenance is too hard), and basically bringing me to my knees in the sense of self worth. She kicked me out. I live with my grandma now and struggling with alcohol. I'm 23 and pretty useless. I've got two jobs and work very hard, usually 7 days a week. I want to be an EMT, just have to save for school. At least I know that my dad and grandma love me.

"She said I look fat but I look fantastic" a few minutes later "Look like a bum, sipping codeine coca cola"
-
All I can imagine while listening to this is just somebody... Running. From something, on an empty desert road, while the sun is stuck in an eternal sunset.
-
God what a relatable song, although I originally thought "I take her money but not quite enough" was "I make money but not quite enough"
-
This song has a vibe that i can only describe as “wanting to escape the concrete jungle into an actual jungle”
-
“she said i look fat, but i look fantastic” okay confidence boost 100 😌
-
Don't listen to this song while doing homework. You'll just end up contemplating the universe and wondering if there's an alternative dimension where you are the badass main character.

This really gets to me, to my core man Come back down to my knees gotta get back, gotta get free Come back down to my knees be like them, lean back and breathe From a person who has really really mentally suffered, thank you.
-
Bro 4 years later and it still HITS, God DAMN
-
Wow this band is a gem, their music is so complex and wonderful!! I want them to get more popular, but it's also a little fun to know about a secret amazing band yknow? But ima still tell all my friends about it, people deserve to jam to this shit hell yeah lmao

Where the heck is the lyrics dude?? Guess it'll be me this time. LYRICS Daddy was dumb, said that I’d be something special Brought me up tough but I was a gentle human Said that he loved each of my two million freckles When I grew up, was gonna be a superstar I can't get a job so I live with my mom I take her money but not quite enough I sit in the car and I listen to static She said I look fat but I look fantastic Come back down to my knees Gotta get back, gotta get free Come back down to my knees Lean back now, , lean back and breathe Come back down to my knees Gotta get back, gotta get free Come back down to my knees Lean back now, lean back and breathe I'm waking up, lost in boxes outside Tesco Look like a bum sipping codeine Coca-Cola Thought that I was northern Camden's own Flash Gordon Sonic raygun, gonna be a superstar I can't get a job so I live with my mom I take her money but not quite enough I make my own fun in grandmama's basement Said I look mad, she said I look wasted Come back down to my knees Gotta get back, gotta get free Come back down to my knees Lean back now , lean back and breathe Come back down to my knees Gotta get back, gotta get free Come back down to my knees Lean back now, lean back and breathe Come back down to my knees Gotta get back, gotta get free Come back down to my knees Lean back now, lean back and breathe Come back down to my knees Gotta get back, gotta get free Come back down to my knees Lean back now , lean back and breathe Come back down to my knees Gotta get back, gotta get free Come back down to my knees Lean back now , lean back and breathe.

Sometimes, when I listen to Glass Animals, I feel like they belong in a fever dream. That must be why I like them so much
-
3:10 Vaguely you can hear someone saying "don't do it again"
-
She said i look fat but i look fantastic

this song for some reason gives me like motivation??? like it sounds like he’s a prisoner (chain noises and ‘gotta get free) of a horrible and miserable but eventful life, and he’s doing whatever he’s doing to get out of this horrible life of his and he’s fighting w everything he’s got.
