That uncertainty, that lack of a promise is my favorite thing about Phantogram’s music: things don’t always have to portend a solution as long as something–anything–is in motion. I remember listening to them last year and imagining my hands bleeding from the pressure of all my emotions squashed, of careening into that healing darkness that the best Phantogram songs send you to, but never quite give you the signal that it’s going to be all right. Black Out Days Hide the sun I will leave your face out of my mind You should save your eyes Thousand voices howling in my head Speak in tongues I dont even. It’s interesting to me that here Future Islands mute what is arguably the most potent lyrical outcry (and one of my favorite sets of all of last year): In the end, the protagonist feels like they dont even know the person theyre trying to forget anymore, and their mind is plagued by black. They hear voices in their head telling them to stay away, and even fireworks exploding feel like a painful reminder. You land back in those beds, and you look those lovers in the eyes dispassionately. Read Black Out Days - Phantogram from the story Song Lyrics by LittieRazzleDazzle (Razz) with 25 reads. The protagonist is trying to forget about someone and keep them out of their thoughts. Voices, the many voices you hear, just a reason to disassociate.īut eventually, like the Future Islands remix, you slow down and linger. And I can float for what feels like forever like an apparition above the legacies of bedrooms that brought me here, caressing with hands of soft spite my lovers, the fiends. First, like the original track, I’m an angry observer far above my body, succumbing to the blackout days that the intimate presence of others bring. Weeks and even months of many years of my life, as trauma trickled down the veins of my brain, I’ve bandaged myself into this bubble of sadness, madness, loneliness. It’s not something a lot of people get but it’s my primary mode of dealing with the world. The lyrics feel like someone struggling with controlling their obsessive thoughts about someone destroying their world. xxtristanxo, Black Out Days, Black Out Days - Future Islands Remix (Slowed) Find the lyrics and meaning of any song, and watch its music video.
