Destroyer - Kaputt Lyrics






Wasting your days
Chasing some girl's alright.
Chasing cocaine
Through the backrooms of the world all night.
Wasting your days
Chasing some girl's alright.
Chasing cocaine
Through the backrooms of the world all night.

Sounds, Smash Hits, Melody Maker, NME,
All sound like a dream to me.
All sound like a dream to me.
All sounds like a dream...
Sounds, Smash Hits, Melody Maker, NME,
All sound like a dream to me.
All sound like a dream to me.
All sounds like a dream...

Step out of your toga and into the fog,
You are a prince on the ocean...
(In a pinch, in the sky, in your eye)
Step out of your toga into the ocean,
Look they got your prints on the fog...
(In a pinch, in the sky, in your eye)

  4. H.... ....

    I love snakeskin.

  5. W.... C....

    i feel fantastic ... this is like the first kiss

  6. R.... D....

    Dear stranding vibes at the end of the video.Though,I prefer this soundtrack more.

  7. T.... ....

    Sound of my phone is broken, but I'm still entertained

  8. A.... S....

    Don’t ever have that guy featured in your music video ever again. He looks like the flu personified.

  9. M.... M....

    At first, I thought this was a fan made music video lol

  10. E.... D....

    Never heard this artist or song and was like ah hell what did I get myself into. Then I was like whoa, what did I get myself into..? Then I got really sleepy and went to bed..

  11. B.... :....

    Good Sax.

  12. b.... ....

  20. a.... s....

    Damn son where'd you find this

  21. s.... ....

    What the heck?

  22. S.... P....

    the smooth jazz saxophone adds so much dimension and musicality and instrumentation to music... I miss that from the 80's... most music today sounds so flat and almost childlike.. just noise

    this is a good song, though

  23. R.... B....

    Destroyer...was hoping for some wicked nordic metal.

  24. M.... ....

    This song sucks.

  26. J.... V....

    Heh, pretty good...

  27. j.... ....

    Dude looks like a prepubescent rapist in the making. The first minute of the video is great (minus the creepy looking 14 year old boy)

  28. T.... I....

    That was a great 40 seconds

  29. J.... S....

    Esse videoclipe é uma viagem, um dos meus prediletos. Algum BR aí?

    J.... S....

    Salve mano! Porra, fazia anos que eu não escutava esse som slk acabei de ouvir o instrumental desse som em um vídeo de skate

    J.... S....

    Já pausei na hora e vim ouvir, namoral esse clipe eh do caralho

    J.... S....

    Podecrê, ouvi esse som pela primeira vez na extinta Mtv brasileira e me identifiquei na hora, após anos ela sempre ficava na minha cabeça, só lembrava do nome "destroyer", fiz uma pesquisa rápida e achei.
    Tmj

  30. M.... G....

    Why do I waist my life watching this dumb shit.....

  31. A.... M....

    Listened and loved this song/album for over nine years and I am just now finding the majestic awesomeness that is the Official Video!

  32. J.... I....

    Ok it had me with the cute girls. And then out of nowhere a oily face nerd! Nope.

  33. o.... ....

  34. t.... e....

    kinda poetic that it took 8 years for this to appear on youtube for so many people

  35. M.... S....

    Wtf is this? Where the bitches at?

  36. K.... S....

    Multiculturalism sucks.

  37. M.... m....

    N.... ....

    I'm sorry you can't appreciate good music

  40. b.... ....

    Not sure how I felt about the girl with the prescription glasses on.

  41. S.... ....

    Me at 00:42

  42. R.... F....

    Beat all the indi bands to 80s retro punch in '11. Quite rad

  43. L.... T....

    McLovin music

  44. B.... x....

    If I had to guess the white girl in blue is the slutty one and the super cute one is the good one.

  45. T.... 8....

    Tim and Eric vibes going on.

  46. M.... ....

    What the fuck youtube...

  47. X.... ....

    Did direct tv bring anybody else here

  48. A.... G....

    Wait what? How’d I end up here?!

  49. S.... ....

    The german songtitle ("kaputt" = "broken") confuses me.

  50. R.... O....

    oh millions of views and pyramids marking the territory again. getting old.

  51. D.... B....

    YouTube's clutch with this recommend

  52. K.... G....

    im like late for class for 8 frikkin years. XD

  53. H.... G....

    Can't complain for recommendations... Sometimes pervert algorithms finds out my inner pervert

  54. T.... D....

    Is this satire

  55. H.... M....

    Thought this was a party at Epstein’s island.

  56. p.... ....

    This sounds like PSB after a handful of percocets lol

  57. H.... S....

    I am....deeply confused

  58. A.... ....

    Plot twist: all the girls are transgender.

  59. n.... ....

    What a video...superb instrumentations...The Dune reference...the super hot chicks...way before all this metoo stuff...is unnecessarily nostalgic!

    n.... ....

    neoaureus what does this the metoo movement have to do with any of this? i don’t think there’s anything in this video that goes against the metoo movement, in fact, it’s directed by a woman.

    n.... ....

    Meow Meow ...Frankly that's the point.....chasing the girls alright...is the lyric. We all assume it is noble and innocent ....depending on who is the chaser. ...but now with the responsibility on men ( not young boys ) being to stay away...or act with dignity , be chivalrous etc...and not exploit or "use" or "objectify" women....even the lyric is tainted IMHO. Of course nobody's forcing anyone in these perfect worlds...

    n.... ....

    ...you are right ...there's nothing in the video which is against the movement.... This exists in a more innocent and wonderful universe....well girls are only a small thing in the video...it's much much more.

  60. n.... ....

    Looks like Jodie Foster !

  61. J.... M....

    This song was ahead of his time!

    J.... M....

    This song is lovely, but absolutely not "ahead of it's time" in any way, shape, or form.

  62. n.... ....

    Porn maybe not so good eh

  63. G.... Z....

    I clicked because I thought this was going to be a some retro 80s jam and the name destroyer... but oh god, its horrendous. Im out.

    G.... Z....

    Damn I respect your opinion, but this is god tier shit

    G.... Z....

    Great music. Sad some can't appreciate it

  64. K.... ....

    Fantano

  65. D.... L....

    Yay these girls didn’t have to porn. Or did they?

  66. J.... H....

    WTF me and my home slice just totally had a Beavis and Butthead moment making fun of this for that I give this video props for being so bad.

  73. m.... ....

    How to improve a music video which has boring shit music in it? Add a ton of sexy bitches. Mission success.

    m.... ....

    You need to listen to more avent garde music if you think this is boring.

  74. R.... W....

    Video starts out generic
    then goes to levels of interest i did not expect from something with that thumbnail

  75. g.... ....

    It's surprising how weird the imagery is
    But at the same time it's beautiful and I just don't know lol

  76. z.... :....

  77. T.... ....

    T.... ....

    Same here.

    T.... ....

    The algorithm my friend. Same here lol but I already knew about this song.

    T.... ....

    I was recommended this out of the blue as well.

    T.... ....

  78. C.... H....

  79. D.... ....

    Is this the hold my beer answer to everything Corey Feldman?

    D.... ....

    No it's just great music

  80. T.... M....

    Essentially, Kaputt is a love letter to lost youth - Bejar's quixotic youth. It marks the end of the belief that dreams come to fruition, or at the very least, that they mean something. The disillusionment and despondency expressed on Kaputt are endemic to contemporary adulthood. It encaptures the bittersweetness and futility of nostalgia. It is Bejar breathing his subjectivity into an objective and spiritless vaporwave. And although he won't admit it, Kaputt is _The_ Vaporwave album, as Ulysses is _The_ Modernist novel.

  81. k.... ....

    damn it i love women, they just dont love me !!

    k.... ....

    koonjar you and I my friend.

  82. M.... O....

    Did I miss anything??


    Boy in the beginning represents chasing drugs and money, as he continues to move through women in the beginning of the music video you notice that slowly they get harder and harder to see. This represents how he’s literally losing sight of the future in front of him until he's left with is sleepless stimulant nights, and porn.


    Man in the middle represents chasing alcohol, he's stuck in the middle of a DRY desert with an empty and opened canteen, this is an allusion to how he feels whenever he’s without his drink. Unable to function.


    Whale at the end represents chasing the unattainable- there is a whale which is seen flying with balloons with geese and planes until it's balloon pops sending him into the ocean.


    At the end they all crash into the ocean, each of them representing different manners that people accept failure/conflicts. The whale is content to continue swimming in the ocean, it represents complacency in your situation. The old man is seen still drinking from his cup slowly drowning himself further and further, this man represents how some people just dig themselves deeper into their problems, however the young boy takes out a white balloon and starts rising he represents the people that want to try again.


    Chalice filled with water- water represents life however in this case I propose that this clear liquid is just a clear liquor because we see that the second the old man took the chalice and started drinking, the sun returned, the “water” turned to sand and he dies. Alcohol can play a huge part in dehydration and I think that's what destroyer was trying to convey.


    “I made a song for America, Who knew…” just a dig at american culture of sex money and drugs

    M.... O....

    Mostly Original what

    M.... O....

    You didn't mention the part where the old man is gulping from the glass while under water. I would suggest this means that even while his problem is killing him, he continues to mindlessly gorge, a complete slave to the addiction.

  83. T.... H....

    What in horrible hell was that? Not cool man, not cool...

  84. R.... K....

    Now that it's December 2019 I think it's safe to say this is the best track to come out of the 2010s.

    R.... K....

    Roelf Kromhout -Hear Here 🥂!

    R.... K....

    @Mark McArthy That's a tough sell, but it's one of the best.

  85. m.... m....

    Wow another fucking band copying 80s synth pop, wtf when are bands going to create new sounding music for their own time period.How long are we going to have bands regurgitating other people's music.I mean why not listen to the og stuff.

  86. a.... ....

    Every now and then YouTube drops some 🔥 into my suggestions.

  87. t.... ....

    Is this a death stranding?

  88. f.... ....

    His mom looks like a goer

  89. e.... m....

    This is what happens when you listen to eddie bravo conspiracy theories while joe rogan is smoking and joey diaz is telling you to take some edibles.

    h.... l....
