Atmosphere - Fortunate Lyrics






I highly doubt that y'all think about sex
Anywhere near as often as I think about death
Go ahead and shout at the top of your lungs
But don't wake the baby up, we got a lot to get done
That little light indicates a connection
And if it's all the same I'd like to make a suggestion
See, if everybody on this comet agreed
We could set the clock to whenever we want it to be
I just might just modify the mileage
I don't know much, but I'm confident the fight's fixed
So high that I feel like a pilot
Falling out the sky full of brilliant brightness
Hurry up, stir me up
You gotta learn the words before the whole Earth burning, but
We wouldn't even need to recognize your birthday
If you were the center of the universe in the first place
If I had feathers I would fly away
If I felt fresher in fur I would hibernate
If I ever figured out how to communicate
Maybe then we could accumulate
For now face the wall, I ain't the same as y'all
A real friend wouldn't make you take the fall
Sometimes life'll try to break your balls
With the long list of missed wakeup calls

You know I wanna feel special
Walk around the festival carrying a big stuffed animal
I try not to make a mess though
Gotta stay sensible, ain't nobody coming with the antidote
I wanna watch you grow
And I wanna leave the planet better off than it was handed to me
And I don't know, there's possibility
So I settle for selling my soul to the slaves of the land of the free
I don't wanna leave my family tree behind
I don't anyone to miss me like I miss you
But I don't wanna take up too much time
I'm not trying to run away from the line we drew
The sunshine seems to feel so seamless
The soldier is a dreamer and a realist
And history sealed this
Thought me that a hero ain't nothing but a field trip
Nah, I know you're down to do something profound
Put a stick in the ground to prove you was around
No amount of time will ever be considered enough
I'm trying to tether it up and live forever through love
We're not lucky, but we're fortunate
I'm pretty sure of it
And all the life we wasted trying to make some bread
Might've been better spent trying to raise the dead

  32. m.... ....

    Watching this on 2x playback speed shows you how this video had to be recorded in real time.

    On a side note, anyone know where to purchase that Death shirt?

  33. g.... ....

    How do they do it! Ant is a rare entity and Slug is, Slug!

  34. T.... F....

    So this is what a real artist is. Keeping it simple and humble and not selling out to Illuminati . He could have been as big and known as jay z but he chooses not to

  35. m.... t....

    I remember hanging with Slug and eyedea back in like 2002 before, during and after the concert. I was just a spectator and they hung out at this small venue as if they knew everyone single person. It was not like they hung out with every side clique and just said "hey whats up?". It was more like bullshitting, and finding the time to have deep coversations with each and every group that attended the show.

  36. T.... T....

    love love love
    one of the best experiences was seeing atmosphere live.. the feels

  37. S.... ....

    HE HATES THESE CANS

  38. A.... R....

    No, dwelling on the dead leads further and further to hell.

  39. A.... R....

    Can't even believe that this video is untampered. Psychological harm.

  40. B.... C....

    Slug's metaphors are weird to the unknowing. But that ain't me. "Sometimes life will try to break ya balls, with a long list of wake up calls."

  41. J.... G....

    I feel like a quarter of a million of these views are mine

  42. D.... G....

    A pack of matches.

  43. D.... C....

    Watch it 2x speed.

  44. I.... 8....

    Yes Atmosphere the cure for any sickness ...

  45. M.... C....

    Still say slug is the most clever lyricist I've had the joy of listening to. Thank you Sean and Ant.

  46. I.... K....

    Thank you ❣️

  47. m.... a....

    Just finding out about atmosphere... Was mad at first I'd missed out all these years on dope beats and good lyrics but damn I love finding new music and I just found a gold mine in atmosphere 😁

  48. T.... V....

    I fucking love you guys

  49. A.... D....

    It's wild that only a handful of people realize that this is a reference to a movie called "The Jerk" from 1979

  50. R.... D....

    I know youre down to do something profound put a stick in the ground just to prove that you was around! Favorite line in the song

  51. �.... �....

    ever tried to play this at 1.75? ;-)

  52. J.... H....

    Watch this video at 1.5 speed

  53. R.... R....

    Almost feel like I'm watching the jerk.. lol all I need is this chair, these matches , light and this remote. That's all I need! Lol love it 😂

  54. K.... B....

    awesome video

  55. L.... O....

    First of all, look up the band DEATH from his shirt, the best and possibly first punk rock band! Great songs, Jimi vibe mixed with punk. Second, Atmosphere is amazing, thank you for what you do. Sign Odd Squad Family!!!

  56. A.... s....

    I know you’re down to do somethin profound. Put a stick in the ground to prove that you was around

  57. J.... G....

    Is there an homage to "The Jerk" here?

  58. E.... L....

    He is a fucking inspiration, STILL...... 2019.....

  59. D.... ....

    That part “if everyone on this comet agreed, we can set the clock to whatever we want it to be” is how i feel too. We are all in a rat race to chase imaginary paper that the gov give power to. Bunch of wasted time, poverty, suffering from it but it gives alot of us incentive to do better. Need friction to grow.

  60. 1.... ....

    damn... the dude with the magazine... fuckin killed me! hahahaha

  61. p.... j....

    WHERE ARE THE SMOKERS ANT NEEDS A LIGHT FOR THE BIRTHDAY CAKE, Cheer to the smokers

  65. t.... ....

    "I highly doubt that you all think about sex nearly as often as I think about death".
    For me, it's 50/50 on a good day.
