Arcade Fire - We Exist Lyrics






They're walking around
Head full of sound
Acting like
We don't exist
They walk in the room
And stare right through you
Talking like
We don't exist
But we exist

Daddy it's true
I'm different from you
But tell me why they treat me like this?
If you turned away
What would I say?
Not the first betrayed by a kiss

Maybe it's true
They're staring at you
When you walk in the room
Tell 'em it's fine
Stare if you like
Just let us through
Just let us through
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na

They're down on their knees
Begging us please
Praying that we don't exist
Daddy it's fine
I'm used to 'em now
But tell me why they treat me like this?
It's cause we do it like this

Maybe it's true
They're staring at you
When you walk in the room
Tell 'em it's fine
Stare if you like
Just let us through
Just let us through
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na

Let 'em stare, let 'em stare!
If that's all they can do!
But I'd lose my heart
If I turn away from you

Oh Daddy don't turn away
You know that I'm so scared
But will you watch me drown?
You know we're going nowhere
We know that we're young
And no shit we're confused
But will you watch us drown?
What are you so afraid to lose?

Down on my knees
Begging us please
Praying that we don't exist
You're down on your knees
Begging us please
Praying that we don't exist

But we exist
We exist
We exist
We exist
Maybe if you hang together
You can make the changes in our hearts
And if you hang together, you can change us
Just where should you start?

    So... I had this downloaded on iTunes, and it very recently became banned from either my country or region (IL, United States) for unclear reasons. I don't know why, and if anyone could inform me I would quite like to know.

  5. J.... R....

    THEY TOOK THIS OFF SPOTIFY😞 and I don’t know why

    J.... R....

    The same thing happened on iTunes or whatever they call the default subscription app for Apple.

    J.... R....

    The entire album is back on spotify

    When he dances, i feel the freedom (i've got through this but not that way)

  9. N.... A....

    Say what you will this was beautifully directed and acted by Andrew.Also veryone else who was in this. And the lighting department!!

  10. E.... ....

    Men be men. Please.......

  11. E.... ....

    Humanity is in question. Male vs female vs trans.

    D.... J....

    One joke

    I see so much emotion in this... how could I *not* feel for this kid

  22. m.... ....

    As a cis person.... I think this character has a lot of bravery. I adored the song and watching her dance ^_^

  23. A.... O....

    I love you, Andrew Garfield.

  24. A.... O....

    Why do people care about your gender? If you wanna be a boy, go for it. Hell, they shouldn't care instead they should refer you as what you wanna be called.

  25. P.... S....

    This song kinda reminds me of Tame Impala's the less i know the better.

  26. V.... W....

    I F<3cking love the video

  28. M.... L....

    This whole video is so powerful, I hate so much the fact that spotify removed this song in my country

  29. k.... d....

    Why is he wearing a bra he doesn't need one.So silly.

    k.... d....

    well, the character is transwoman

  30. E.... L....

    @4:21 I turned homoflexible for those dudes! 😍😍😍

  31. P.... C....

    How is it not wrong to exploit the sexual desires of a straight person? Kinda brought the beating on yourself. Doesn't make it right, but don't present yourself as one thing and be surprised when you're not what someone was looking for. It's like taking a bite of a cherry turnover at Arby's only to find out it's the disgusting apple turnover.

    P.... C....

    The straight guys hit on her? Not the other way around?

  32. W.... a....

    AGPs exist? No shit.

  33. D.... !....

    Вce пидapacы дoлжны cдoxнyть мyчитeльнoй cмepтью! A нe клипы пpo ниx cнимaть

    I love Andrew omg

  35. C.... S....

  36. S.... s....

  37. C.... B....

    New Spider-Man: Tom Holland

  38. C.... B....

  39. S.... F....

    Stunning Actually

  40. J.... P....

    watching this after DRAG RACE UK episode 1

  41. E.... R....

    que cancion mas HDP.. no se porque no tienen tantos likes..

  42. k.... d....

    0:53 i spy with my big fat gay eye i saw shawn mendes pictures by the mirror

  43. M.... G....

    Hasta el ultimo hombre, muy buen actor

  44. V.... B....

    How much damage the death’s of Gwen caused in poor Peter Parker

  45. l.... r....

    the power of this song is surreal—i heard the song before the video & it made my gay, trans heart go “oh what a nice song”; i did feel slightly called out in a loving way when i looked up the meaning & it matched my thoughts, & this video only encourages that.

  46. t.... ....

    whats with those men? why are they wearing womens shoes? this is mental? does arcade fire want us to pervert nature and say that deviant behaviour is Good? nice try arcade fire. i'm not buying your lie or nor will i accept perverted behaviour as normal or Good if you want that go to sodom and gomorrha...if all are fooled i'm not!

  47. H.... ....

    When you absolutely, positively need to show you are mentally ill, and that you are untalented trash.

  48. H.... K....

    This is why they canceled TASM....

  49. S.... ....

    I guess he forgot to pack his Spidey costume.

  50. S.... C....

    I had no idea this song was about trans people.

    S.... C....

    The lyrics it's about a gay son and his father.

  51. N.... D....

    Its fucking insane that this only has 9M views after 5 whole years.
    Do LBGT people not know about this song or something?

    N.... D....

    LGBT+++++ listen to crappy music nowadays.

  52. C.... T....

    Trans people rule

  53. r.... x....

    yes,you exist♡

  54. B.... ....

    No wonder he hasn't had a big break for over 5 years sit down gay ass

  55. M.... S....

    I think it would have been much more powerful if transmen were included too

  56. K.... S....

    Why this beautiful song isn't on Spotify? ☹️

  57. c.... ....

    Who's are the bearded daddies at the front?

  58. R.... 3....

    Jewtube erased my comment..............what a asshole gang. Carlos & Ivan, I wouldn't miss your wedding for anything in the world!

    R.... 3....

    Imagine being a Nazi in 2019

  59. g.... ....

    I think it’s beautiful that they cast Andrew Garfield because he played Spider-Man, and they wanted kids to see that even Spider-Man loves trans people.

  60. A.... c....

    I thought It was movie. I was searching ... :/

  61. C.... N....

    and then this exist ...

  62. M.... P....

    excelente mensaje a la sociedad.

  63. E.... M....

    Esto es Arte !!♡

  64. R.... F....

    Andrew my love ❤️

  65. M.... D....

    How powerful👌

  66. J.... S....

    Brillian t video. Is that Brian Freedman in it and did he choreograph that? Wow.

  67. K.... S....

    look i love arcade fire so much (i’m here listening to this jam 5 yrs after it came out) but like the way they frame trans death as liberating is so triggering. we’re one of the most suicidal minorities which exist ... to think of trans death in the way this music video does is rly upsetting. they should have stayed in their lane (maybe hiring an actual trans person for the role would have helped?)

  68. v.... c....

    So wait...are you telling me they performed this song at COACHELLA WHILE playing the video and THEN he came out??!?! 😭🥺🥴

  69. C.... O....

    This is one of my all time most favourite songs. First I didn’t even know it was about trans people but now it makes so much sense.

  70. t.... ....

    Today in Uruguay, there was a plesbicit to take off the rights of trans citizens!
    But we broke that wall.
    We won! nobady gonna take what they earned and deserved (after years of fight) last year.
    'Cose THEY EXIST

  71. T.... s....

    Womanhood is for women. It takes a female to be a woman.

    T.... s....

    Transwomen are women ;)

  72. v.... w....

    pandering bullshit

  73. Q.... d....

    insert link to Andrew in Drag

  74. J.... D....

    Minuto 3,2 en adelante bailaria igual xD

  75. J.... B....

    ddespues

  76. T.... C....

    amazing spiderman was a trans? no wonder it stop at 2 films.

  77. M.... D....

    Man, Gwen Stacy's death hit Peter pretty hard. Now he thinks he is Gwen.

  78. H.... �....

    We have always existed, although we weren't always visible.

  79. O.... l....

    สวยเฉย555

  80. R.... Z....

    Increíble canción....y la letra super chingona...Me encanta

  81. J.... P....

    Maybe Andrew Garfield wasn’t such a good peter Parker but he was damn good transvestite

  82. R.... W....

    Play 3:06 onwards on .75 speed. Those strings though OOOOF

  83. R.... S....

    CALL ME CRAZIE BUT I THINK TOM HOLLAND WOULD HAVE DO IT BETTER!!! JHA

  84. G.... S....

    in what concert was made this video?

  85. B.... H....

    I can relate to this video. My uncle was bullied as a man and felt like a woman so he took that approach and his bullies found new ammunition to which my uncle took his own life. R.I.P Scott/Gina

  86. V.... F....

    No me aparece en Spotify ;'(

  87. S.... R....

    Happy Pride Y'all!!1

  88. Y.... M....

    This song give some strange nostalgia.

  89. P.... ....

    P.... ....

    Someone can feel as a trans without doing surgery you know :)

  90. C.... ....
