Deerhunter - Timebends Lyrics






I feel nothing, no pride or joy
But no pain or discomfort
I'm made this way by chemical choice
It's an action for protection
And I'm this way and you're that way

I need the way, admission's never free
Until you admit to me you're lost

I was made this way, the future is ours
I'm a superman and you are my arch
I'll be this way when you are in your grave
Don't test me, I'm so dangerous

I need the way, admission's never free
Until you admit to me you're lost

I need the way, admission's never free
Until you admit to me you're lost

I feel nothing, no pride or joy
But no pain or discomfort
I'm made this way by chemical choice
It's an action for protection
And I'm this way and you're that way

I scare myself...

Deerhunter Timebends Comments
  1. 8.... ....

    This song is like an 8 hour long car ride in your parents 1980s Buick station wagon when you were a kid. Except, instead of heading to your great aunt Mabel's house where you have to sit perfectly still in the middle of the living room, you're headed to heaven. And you are fully aware of that.

    It's beautiful. Dreamlike. Wonderful. Thank you.

  2. j.... a....

    Timebends number-1 in the indie charts "de graadmeter, week3" in the Netherlands. listeners of pinguin radio didn't like the edit version so they played the long version as request.. with result!

  3. J.... W....

    my dad was like "this is the same band as that 'lotus plaza' band you showed me?" and i was like "just ignore this, listen to they're earlier shit'

  4. J.... W....

    dude this is pretty terrible

    gonna say it

  5. d.... m....

    Love how insanely compressed those drums are

    d.... m....

    ??? Compressed? what is?

  6. S.... M....

    The Low Spark of High Heeled Deerhunter.

  7. c.... r....

    good psychedelic piece amigos

  8. A.... F....

    Green men - they don't - surrender to the end of the understanding as forgiving. Things way lower than that (0's) - didn't exist in the sense of that. They directly engineer the unthinkable of all technology as concepts, of life, and how it mucks up sense, infinitely that much, completely incapacitating the order of grace, by which the rule of governing ever affects the idea of some moral truth. This defends the party, at level 6, in that personal an appeal to turn away in individualist grudges/readjustment, also not like surrendering to what is expected for others equally at all times, called matter/existence, as elevated to personal reasons each time a savior is not simply freely human in that consideration. That's the unforgiveness of it, which deceives 7's as not seeing the connection of not knowing or having to do. Life (day 7 is like a religion of Christianity) has character, having nothing to do with breaking down the walls as a justifiable loss and limit alllll the way back to the big bang like a button of power, but, they're that greedy, as indigos, and hateful, as greens. Greens are hateful, far far beneath a philosophical age.

  9. w.... ....

    I dont get how Deerhunter is still vastly underrated this far into their career. One of the best bands making music today. this shit JAMS

  10. C.... N....

    Alta letra

  11. E.... K....

    This song is really fun. Reminds me of MGMT in one segment, good vibes. The lyrics are neat too

  12. R.... C....

    Long was the year - broadcast

  13. C.... G....

    "Don't test me. I'm dangerous."

  14. c.... ....

    Thumbs up for those who thumbs up before watching vid

  15. E.... O....

    No suena a deerhunter. xd

    E.... O....

    pero es genial, el sonido indie" ya murio

  16. P.... J....

    Jam out section reminded me of the jam out section of The Beach Boys' Leaving This Town, from their album Holland.

  17. b.... r....

    These dudes NEVER disappoint. This is f*cking SICK!

  18. M.... W....

    i think he's been listening to Birdland by Patti Smith

  19. E.... P....

    Anyone else think the thumb looked like SM?😆

    E.... P....

    Yes, I think the same..or SM looks now like Bradford😆

  20. G.... S....

    Pink Floyd influence?

  21. �.... �....

    ни о чём....

  22. J.... W....

    I'm desperately trying to figure out these chords but I have the ear of a napkin. I'm guessing the initial progression is D/C/Em but I can't find where it goes after that. Strictly speaking on the first minute or so.

    J.... W....

    Maybe Bb/Am/G? Any help is appreciated

    J.... W....

    Try running it through one of the apps/websites that gives chords of YouTube videos. They are usually spot on

  23. A.... B....

    Cool. not bad at all. Loved the Jam bit in the first half (2:30 >)

  24. T.... b....

    I love their unpretentious approach to existential meaning of life - they can afford it, I'm sure - and it gives me a richer experience 😉

  25. R.... L....

    Videos great songs cool 💗

  26. J.... M....

    I’ve enjoyed all of their music up to and including Monomania but the albums since then really don’t work for me. I thought they might achieve something really amazing with their music but now it just feels like a band that’s burnt out.

    J.... M....

    Oh Contrare Monfrare.. They are absolutely NOT burnt out.. but I will agree that their earlier albums are "better" than say.... Fading Frontier.. but if you listen to "Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared".. their latest album.. you can tell they have matured immensely and the quality of the music and lyrics are superior to their early stuff

  27. V.... ....

    It's a very Bono vocal

    V.... ....

    I’ve been noticing some Bono isms with Bradford for a while now, especially after seeing them live. I like it. Not fashionable to admit that in 2019 but whatevs.

    V.... ....

    You must be tone deaf

  28. D.... T....

    A good case study on why you should never do your own videos. I enjoy the song though.

  29. s.... ....

    congrats on this pretentious, self-congratulatory derivative pile of shit

  30. R.... A....

    "Hey, guys! Let's do a spacerock jam song! No, wait...let's do TWO spacerock jam songs! &, also, let's do a song w/ desolate & moving lyrics! & let's do them ALL AT ONCE!"

  31. p.... ....

    Bradford has a unique and interesting perspective on all things in music and his personality. I quite love Deerhunter as a whole but Bradford, just wow.

  32. O.... ....

    What an epic.

  33. D.... ....

    love this.

  34. S.... L....

    $10 for this single track on iTunes,, but i'm a sucker for musiq,

  35. m.... ....

    Dr Katz??

  36. B.... L....

    Conhecendo a banda e cara dahora

  37. D.... S....

    no cunt brought me here

  38. J.... C....

    Too much crammed into one song.

  39. P.... S....

    Take a trip with Deerhunter- it's never the same journey...

  40. A.... V....

    I got to hug Bradford at a show once in South Texas.. Wish I could do it again.

  41. S.... M....

    "Jump into the Fire" drum solo?

    S.... M....

    The Cliff Notes version, yes

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

    Beginning sounds similar to https://youtu.be/qM-05Xn8BGA

  43. J.... M....

    After playing music for this long where do you go? More is more. Is this better than the last two albums, I don't know.

    J.... M....

    A certain refinement can come with time - a more cohesive identity pulled from the clear influences of earlier days. Collabs can produce interesting results, these guys and Flaming Lips could be interesting. As long as they don't start writing for Gaga, more is always welcome

  44. J.... K....

    Circulation is my favorite DH track, Quick Canal is good too

  45. J.... ....

    Dude Bradford be sounding like Bono n shit.

  46. J.... P....

    Been listening to this dude since his regrettably name first LP. Good on ya, Bradford. Still killin it

  47. R.... G....

    Longtime fan and sensing no end to this...

  48. w.... r....

    he sings like Bono of U2

  49. S.... M....

    felt the part in the very middle. everything else... meh, a bit forced. hopefully a one-off and not indicative of an entire album. (coming from a big fan)

    S.... M....

    @Joe Tomter the song fucking blows

    S.... M....

    Well yeah man.... they just released a full length album in January of this year.. Of course "Timebends" is NOT part of a new album.. The track is simply a gift to Deerhunter fans. An extra track.. like a B-side.. if you don't know what that is... I can explain it to you.

    S.... M....

    @stcrude You're not very bright huh?

    S.... M....

    @stcrude wimp

  50. �.... ....

    Nurturer Deer and delicate friends, IVO . Morgan ov Miane will Test Dept. "U"> Ha!~ha! great Zounds! maine 聖霊 OTIOT organic, sturdy and faithful BOOTS!!

  51. A.... R....

    this gives me a Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii feeling, don't know why haha..

  52. M.... ....

    10:34 I've been listening to the song in the background while reading something in another window, and when the piano came in I figured that the Deerhunter song was over and that YouTube skipped to a Lana Del Ray video, until he started singing. Great vocals by the way.

  53. s.... ....

    Bradford....I gave you a cassette of the Columbus Monomania tour show I recorded..would you like the El Club recording from Feb?

    s.... ....

    i would love the el club recording if you would care to post it!!!

  54. L.... H....

    It's fucking beautiful! Thank you Bradford!

  55. e.... ....

    Definitely dig it! Thanks!

  56. Z.... D....

    Bradford looks like a musical witch barbushka

  57. P.... C....

    See you Sunday Deerhunter @ the roundhouse.I,can’t wait!

  58. H.... V....

    Most indie psych ppl would never admit it. But this is basicaly just a prog rock song.

    H.... V....

    Hornet Video Classroom Man, I love prog. This is more in the Floyd mould (a la 'Echoes' or 'Shine On You Crazy Diamonds') , so I'd call it more 'space rock' but that's splitting hairs I guess haha

    H.... V....

    Who cares

    H.... V....

    Serkan Ovat exactly

    H.... V....

    Genre geek

  59. B.... P....

    Gawd this is good.

  60. R.... H....

    Clearly showing the Brian Eno influence again. And I'm getting early Bowie, some Todd Rundgren...

  61. F.... G....

    New Deerhunter, frick yeh

  62. D.... ....

    genius! long life Deerhunter

  63. S.... h....

    This is getting close to Panda Bear's Person Pitch, and I love it!!!

  64. n.... l....

    The « Stairway to Heaven » of Deerhunter. So much good.

  65. A.... D....

    This session was live streamed on their instagram after 2 shows here in NYC

  66. r.... H....

    Genius, lay off the drugs!

    r.... H....

    rocknrollnonsense Heart get on some

    r.... H....

    @Jonnysdog only Eats wet food thhbbt

    r.... H....

    What da fuq does thbbht mean?

  67. I.... S....

    It's everything admirable about every great self-indulgent 70's Rock LP done in 13 minutes & 3 seconds: bless you Deerhunter ! 🙏

  68. M.... D....

    Que locura, hoy volví a escucharlos después de mucho, y me encuentro con esto. Ojalá sigan sacando canciones frescas como esta.

    M.... D....

    M.... D....

  69. t.... ....

    deerhunter, the best band to come out of the ATL (along with outkast and mastodon).

  70. B.... F....

    Bradford seems to have a sort of existential fierceness, which I admire.

    B.... F....

    Benjamin Forrest no I’m not making fun of you 😅😅 I’m sorry lol

    B.... F....

    @S. O oh haha that's okay. sorry I misunderstood. 💙

    B.... F....

    @S. O that is funny... also...extra points for using words like nihilist.. bohemian.. etc.

    B.... F....

    I love the follow up banter here... it's funny

    B.... F....

    existential MALAISE more like judging from this single yeeeEET

  71. k.... ....

  74. J.... P....

  76. V.... D....

    that's what she said 🔫

  77. t.... ....

    Tommy, can you hear me?

  78. I.... O....

    Can't wait for Saturday. Going to both shows in Dublin

    I.... O....

    @BrenDon the links are above you're comment which says you're a champ ^

    I.... O....

    @Iain O'C Hey mate, just wondering: were they selling merch during the show/ was there any opportunity to get autographs?

    I.... O....

    @BrenDon there was a merch table with t shirts, albums and some paintings. Idk who did the painting one of the members I presume I didn't ask. I bought a t shirt which says DEERHUNTER RHYTHM GROUP OF GOD. There were other designs, 25 each. Autographs maybe if you waited outside the venue afterwards but they're on tour so they have to leave and get on to the next city afterwards .

    I.... O....

    Iain O'C Fair enough. Cheers. Seeing them tonight!

    I.... O....

    @Iain O'C Concert was amazing, and Cate LeBon was a superb supporting act. Got the Diamond Patterned tshirt. Disappointed they didnt play Nothing Ever Happened though

  79. U.... B....

    Hello. From Uncle Barney. Please say Hi back.

    U.... B....

    B-b-but...Uncle Barney is...dead!!! @_@

  80. R.... J....

    Sooooo...good!! 😍

  81. W.... A....

    Sounds like an episode of Dr. Katz!

    W.... A....

    That is funny.. and original too.

    W.... A....

    Oh hell yes, I knew this sounded familiar!

  82. C.... ....

    Well done boys.
    ATL

  83. J.... M....

    Too beautiful Bradford! You & the gang have really outdone yourselves here. Keep exploring, the music you make inspires new emotions in me

  84. F.... B....

    The song at the end is from Fellini's Casanova I think. It's by Nino Rota.

    F.... B....

    yeeess! maybe from the sequence of the automated lady!?

    F.... B....

    Reno Dakota, I’m no Nino Rota, I don’t know the score.

  85. M.... L....

    I love Deerhunter! ... Their music never spoils... I am still listening to Halcyon Digest.. and it still sounds as good as it did in 2010.. but I still haven't heard "Double Dream of Spring"... Aw shucks

    M.... L....

    you're not missing much

    M.... L....

    the link I posted is the entire release in 320kbps on Google drive

    M.... L....

    halcyon digest is a gem

    M.... L....

    @Matt Lawton message me on last.fm, brownayy - i have it ripped to wav

    M.... L....

    Favorite deerhunter album for sure

  86. H.... J....

    Good good song mates, loving it. Obrigado!

  87. M.... L....

    Heard it this morning... And now I see there is a video.. thanks Deerhunter

  88. M.... ....

    Incredible. Happy Halloween indeed.

  89. J.... ....

    its good. not great. but good. dont become a jam band plz

    J.... ....

    Listen to their older shit they used to be jam-oriented, esp. live

    J.... ....

    @Vacant Cemetery he would have laughed, nothing ever happened and desire lines and others having instrumental freak outs are great. I'm 19 and got into them recently enough but those old pitchfork festival performances are the shit.

    J.... ....

    I love it when bands become jam bands

    J.... ....

    Who are you to criticize

    J.... ....

    shut the fuck up, this is his best song in years
