Airborne Toxic Event, The - Something New Lyrics






What's passed these hands?
All these drugs and one night stands
So I tremble when I think of what she'd do
She'd say something like, "You're no good,
You're like the junkies in this neighborhood"
We all need a fix, I guess I need one too
But I'm trying madly to calm these nerves with something new

I got this heavy debt, I've got nothing left
But this daunting weight slung 'round my neck
You got the callous mouth, all your endless doubts
We spent this fifteen weeks, trying to work it out
Do you think we're getting to something new?

Oh God, not another fight
I'm always trying to get the details right
I remember when you told me you felt saved
When you promised you'd lay flowers on my grave
Just like they used to do
Is it something new?

And now here I stand with these blood soaked hands
On this sleepless night, that never ends
And these songs I sing
With these hopes that I cling to
Desperately wondering
Are we finally getting to something new?

Is it something new?
Are we finally to something new?

Airborne Toxic Event, The Something New Comments
  1. T.... U....

    Shit man I remember being in highschool and watching this the day it released in my business math class because my teacher didnt give a fuck

  2. K.... ....

    8 years since I first heard this and I keep coming back

  3. j.... s....

    Age of Consent: New Order

  4. E.... C....

    ...10 years old

    I love all their videos they are all so different.

  6. D.... W....

    This makes me happy for humanity

  7. m.... ....

    check out these cool cats

  8. 1.... ....

    Does anyone know what guitar Stephen has?

  9. C.... M....

    Is that Russel Brand in the back???

  10. C.... W....

    So its illegal to be on your phone at the wheel. But on your drums is fine? 😂

    C.... W....

    A cat is fine, too.

  11. D.... g....

    Estou amando esse som!

  12. A.... S....

    Bit a broad comment here, but i think this guy is the best musician in the world right now

    A.... S....

    This band are the best musicians* 

  13. Y.... M....

    Great band. More of this

  14. f.... ....

    Daren Taylor: like a boss! :D

  15. M.... ....

    You may be cool, but you will never be "Daren Taylor playing the drums while driving a boat" cool.

  16. A.... L....

    5 years later I still love this...

  17. R.... V....

    lol Mikel looks so worried that Darren is driving the boat while playing the drums at the begining! xD

  18. i.... ....

    <3 this song hits it where it hurts. love it

  19. P.... Z....

    He looks like the anonymous mask personified.

  20. A.... H....

    Anna is hot3

  21. W.... ....

    More likely they were both inspired by something similar. People pass around the word "rip off" too freely these days.

  22. u.... ....

    Hate to break the news to you but if anyone is getting ripped off it is NEW ORDER.. This song has the New Order vibe( which was the purpose). You say ripped off Blue Van. NO released their records in the early 80's so who is ripping off who I ask? I love this version..

  23. T.... J....

    The Airborne Toxic Event, MAY have ripped off The Blue Van ("Dear independence" by "The Blue Van" is from 2006, "Airborne Toxic Event" created their debut album in 2008.

  24. p.... ....

    um,... look at the dates,... who ripped whom?

  25. e.... ....

    fun fun fun

  26. A.... T....

    Now there's a drummer who can drive! Cool stache man!

  27. K.... R....

    Mikel Jollett at the beginning is like what are the lyrics again..?! o.o

  28. T.... J....

    0:20 That instantly remiended me of momentarily sane by the blue van! So similar (a rip of? Don't really care) people who is saying this deserve more views should take a look at that and compare!

  29. J.... G....

    When chester cheetah isn't busy being cheesy he steers like a boss with his buds on a boat

  30. G.... ....

    These guys can accidentally make a hit!

  31. T.... W....

    Who cares about the drum brush... it is his pretend boat driving that is funny as hell. AWESOME BAND and AWESOME SONGS.

  32. S.... C....

    russel brand in the back hahaha. jk after 3 years, i still enjoy this video!

  33. L.... R....

    " so if somebody farts on the bus, do you call it - an airborne toxic event?" :L :L

  34. L.... R....

    i agree, quite bosslike

  35. M.... ....

    It's called a brush

  36. M.... ....

    That was angry!

  37. T.... F....

    FTLOG !!! it's a drum brush !!!! get over it !

  38. Y.... ....

    naw. it is a different tool other than a normal drum stick though. It's kind of a handle with thick metal wires streaming out of it. kind of like a whisk but instead of the wires looping, they're frayed. gives the drum tap a different sound. i'm not a drummer but someone who is might know what it might be called.

  39. J.... J....

    im not an expert on drumming or instruments for that matter... but is he drumming with a spatula?

  40. z.... ....

    God I can't believe I have been in the dark about this amazing group for so long I just can't stop listening to them.

  41. w.... ....

    very good

  42. r.... ....

    dat 'stache

  43. P.... P....

    I puts the lotion on its skin (;

  44. R.... V....

    26 people drowned attempting to drum and steer....

  45. R.... V....

    Drumming and driving a boat like a boss -:) he's my favorite cos of his sweet euro-style stache! ^____^ I best friend says she hates mustaches thou :P

  46. M.... M....

    Dan, you're wonderful. Well... you all are but Dan is steering the boat and rocking a marvelous 'stache.

  47. D.... J....

    Epicness that is stash and mad drum skills. :DDD. I love Airborne Toxic Event. My friend turned me on years ago, then I forgot about it and went through my itunes music.

  48. Z.... M....

    <3 that stache

  50. a.... f....

  62. s.... ....

    I think I like this. It kind of hurts, yet feels food at the same time.

  63. E.... R....

  66. T.... ....

    Is there a acustic album that I can buy anywhere?

  67. T.... T....

    this video's fun! I really enjoy watching them... hahahaha

  68. S.... ....

    The fact that he's driving the boat while playing the drums makes me happy

  69. M.... ....

    Daren's like, Ok, I won't drive while texting, but don't even try to say I can't drive while drumming!

  70. m.... ....

    @breathnac92 Act it until you are it! And, btw, they are cool if you define cool as super talented; individually and corporately. So...embrace it and find the joy! Seems they have done just that.

  71. b.... ....

    these guys are being so annoying in all their videos they act like theyre so cool but theyre just okay

  72. T.... S....

    Steering. Like a boss.

  73. K.... ....

    I prefer this version to the original

Im from columbia sc and i remember when these guys would play at a local club pretty frequently before they got big like now. so im proud to say i was there from way back for them! i wish them the best

  78. t.... ....

    ok, i love TATE, but this is my first time seeing this video and... this is easily the single most awesome group of people EVER! this and their video for "Half of Something Else" are just perfectly wonderful with the unique choice of setting.

  79. s.... ....
