Atlas Genius - Electric Lyrics

[Verse 1]
From the corner of your eye
Down to the trap you set tonight
To give you nothing's what you need
They give you so much you can't breathe

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I know the past is a lonely place
In given time, you could find what you couldn't replace
Don't pretend like you're up in a tree
The future's not where it used to be

[Chorus]
It's so electric if we're pretending to
Act like we don't know what to do
To understand it, of where it's headed to
Like we don't know what to do

[Post-Chorus]
We could fall
Or we could just face it
And the times will go
We could fall

[Verse 2]
As I defend and you deny
I can't tell what you like
It's just the thoughts or so it seemed
Let's go outside so we can breathe

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I know the past is a lonely place
And now you wake in a bed where there's no other face
Don't pretend like you're up in a tree
The future's not where it used to be

[Chorus]
It's so electric if we're pretending to
Act like we don't know what to do
To understand it, of where it's headed to
Like we don't know what to do

[Post-Chorus]
We could fall
Or we could just face it
And the times will go
We could fall

[Outro]
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, ah ah ah, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, ah ah ah, oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, ah ah ah, oh

I don't know if it's just me but this song gives me strong Project Almanac vibes. Also, I think it would be really good if it was in Life Is Strange.

The intro is somewhat similar to I'm a real 1 by YG.

WHY. DO. YOU. FUCKING. SING!? THE MUSIC WAS SO AMAZING, TILL YOU FUCKING OPENED YOUR MOUTH BRO

wtf is your problem

180grammi bologna why do you exist? This world was great until you existed

solo me gusta por la película bienvenidos al ayer

Fucking LOVE the intro.

You guys were so fucking great at BFD. I don't understand why the majority of the audience was sitting down. I was jamming throughout the whole time!

+little vinci where did you buy the tickets? are they expensive?

@Johnathan Eggberto The price depends on where you sit at Shoreline. Last time I went, mine were $60 and I was sitting in the middle section. If you want the cheapest tickets, you'd have to sit on the lawn and they are like $27-$40. Buy the tickets from ticketmaster if you wanna go this year. c:

+little vinci thank you. also to be honest you are really attirective just saying XD

lol the starting reminds me of are you what you wanna be by ftp xD

+Hanie Madu I literally never made that connection and I love FTP and Atlas Genius a lot...damn I see that now

Omgs really want to go to their first show in June with the kooks

I can't wait for their new album <3

This is the first song i listen to at work everyday for the past 4 months.... but from an alt nation playlist. Idk if that counts for views here; probably not :(

Great sound Atlas G!

This was one of the best albums of last year for me.

so indie... so amazing

Simply beautiful

I Sing the Body Electric ^_^

this song needs as many views as passion pits most viewed song, like seriously this song is amazing

Driving down the freeway feeling like Miami Vice.

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! Wonderful 80's vibe, but with a cool, modern edge! Yes!

Im glad that when I was wacthing they just happened to mention this band

Great song, intro sounds very Passion Pit kind.

only a little over 88,000 views, oh well at least I know about this awesome song!!

I just want you all to know that I can't stop listening to this song.

They were AWESOME Live this fall. !! In Philly at the TLA We Lucked  w/ The meet n Greet Afterward . A Couple of Real Cool Guys.

just saw these guys at the Fillmore in SF. They were awesome!! Great band.

The intro got me dancing on my bed lol

alt nation ftw!

Heard this on Alt Nation the other night. Awesome song!

last night was their concert in toronto, one of the best i've been to <3 A.G.

Thank you Kim Karr for sharing your playlist from your book Torn! Love this band!

Perfect SONG!

EL SONIDO COMO LOS 80'S I LOVE IT...

what a brilliant band

such a fuckin kickass band! x)

The beginning reminds me of the beginning of the show "How it Works"

There's a sweaty dance party going on in my head right now

Once people discover this band, they're going to be big!

Thats so...

UNKNOWN !!!

its gonna be the next big thing !

400th like :o

This has a Stevie nicks edge of seventeen feel

One of the best indie bands out there right now

This is like the best album to cheer up people! It's pleasantly upbeat

I can't believe I thought this was one of the weakest songs on the album at first! It's definitely one of my favorites now. So good!

They're gonna be at x fest 2013 :D yeaha buddy! Cant fucking wait ^.^

Def in my top 3 favorite bands!!!!! OMG they are so amazing :)

You are retarded if you think this is 80's style...

check out the suuns 2020 its an awesome song :D and the wombats there awesome too.

They're*

PERFECT SONG! Really good

!!!ahhh!!!!

Impressive.

You're going to have to wait like every other kid on the face of this planet did when THEY wanted to go to a concert and were underage. (including myself a few dozen times) Lucky it isn't a 21 and over show like most of them are in America... You won't have to wait as long.

ughhh they have a concert in toronto this week( my city) and you have to be 18 to go :( please lower the age so i can go one dayyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I listen to electric light orchestra as well, and I know music enough (having produced songs for 2 going on 3 years myself), to say that I agree with you. This song in particular I think does show qualities of the classic rock group and to say my personal opinion, both bands are great. As far as internet chat can go, I would say I am impressed with you for noticing, because I didn't realize that the first time I came on here, but after you had stated that it hit me.

You guys are a breath of fresh air!

My favorite song! You guys are AMAZING!

Wow, i haven't heard a single song by these guys that doesn't blow my mind away, this song is by far one of my fav's from the album though, along with trojans.

I Just found this perfect band and i love it!

This sounds like some 80s music but soooooo goooood

Soo Good! exceeded my expectations the E.P was just a teaser

Thank you! I actually didn't even notice it. I usually don't check out the descriptions.

Read the description, its an incredible story. and holds a message of never giving up on your dreams.

I loved you guys at Rock the Green. Can't wait till March 2nd with Imagine Dragons. At least tomorrow will let me calm a bit till you guys are in Milwaukee c:

This song has quickly become an addiction for me!

This sounds amazing!!

23rd of March baby with Imagine Dragons! Can't wait! Keep it up boys

Been waiting too long for this album to come along! So pumped to hear the rest! Sounds incredible so far!

I predict this album will be playing in my car for a long time... So many great tracks.

This song is so cool

I really love your guys music! Keep it coming and don't give up!^_^ Love to see you guys make it big:]
