Julian Casablancas - The Eternal Tao Lyrics






- Eitan
- Hi, I'm Fred
- Hi, my name's Mike and if you're sitting there watching this tape smoking your cigarette, well, hit the fast forward button because I don't smoke and I don't like people who do smoke
- I'm not afraid to get sand on my tuxedo if you're not afraid to let the wind mess your hair up a little bit when I take the top down
- Perhaps even a, a nice bath with some champagne

T.E.
T.E.T. cannot be whispered
T.E.
T.E.T
The Tao can't be sung
I long to know what is beyond me
I try to change what I should not change
Realistically optimistic
I'm a philosopher, not a mystic
No more playing now, I'm on a mission
But I forgive a man if he doesn't listen
I see Lucifer makes a good living
A philosophy so limiting

Everyone got decisions to make
Oh, yeah, baby, got bills to pay
The truth lies beyond what you see
I'm not mad at you

When I get my turn
When I get my turn
Staying on my toes
Oh, they will see
Forget everything you heard
Forget everything you heard
You don't know who's feeding it to you
When I was sixteen
When I was sixteen
Nobody believed
"Music's for you"
When my turn it comes
When my turn it comes
I will tear the system apart

Now we build statues of robots
Humanity is already a memory

Nothing's black or white, it's all grey
Honesty without tack is cruelty
Nothing turns me on like what you say
Bending towards pending demise

When I get my turn
When I get my turn
Staying on my toes
Oh, they will see
Forget everything you heard
Forget everything you heard
You don't know who's feeding it to you
When I was sixteen
When I was si-sixteen
Nobody believed
"Music's for you"
It's harder than I thought
But when my time it comes
Will I be prepared?
I guess we'll see

End of the daydream
Nine zillion lane highway
Was not part of the deal

When I get my way
When I get my way (Nothing is ever)
When I get my way (Deleted anymore)
When I get my way
When I get my way
When I get my way (The mind wants to play)
When I get my way
(Free from the assembly line of thought)

    this should be in cyberpunk 2077

  2. i.... u....

    It has the human sadness demo part. I love this

    Nobody's talking about the subs in 4 different languages.
    I'm loving this💕💕

  7. J.... B....

    Glad to see you're still hanging on, Jules. I don't know about "tearing the system apart", but I think we can have significant change. Humanity's been in a funk for a while now. I think even the people at the top must be feeling it.

  8. N.... M....

    De las 459 mil vistas hasta ahora, 458 mil son mías

  9. V.... Z....

    Long Live Maximiliano de Habsburgo

    ~julian casablancas 2k19

  12. B.... T....

    BROOO this is gonna be so fucking LIT live!

  13. C.... C....

    It’s so incredibly ironic that everywhere I look, people write the line “honesty without tack is cruelty,” instead of the correct, “honesty without tact is cruelty,” as if they copy pasted from a single wrong source. They copy pasted incorrect lyrics from a song about copying things and believing everything blindly being wrong. Painfully ironic.

  14. L.... ....

    This is badass, I’ve never heard anything like it

  15. a.... ....

    Suck it Ryan!

  16. T.... ....

    The Eternal Biribiribiri...

  17. F.... A....

    Damnnnnnnnnnn

  18. c.... ....

    Julian could sing over the sound of 2 cats f**cking and still make an awesome song. Ridiculous.

  19. f.... p....

    "Music's just for you" ruin everything

  20. C.... P....

    The first time i listened to this i was like wow that's a lot of autotune, but the 2nd time i was like wow this song is great.

  21. C.... S....

    I've been jammin to this all summer and fall & had no idea Mac DeMarco produced this. That's so sick dude

  22. E.... Z....

    The Void is pleased

  23. R.... M....

    Fuck everything you've heard
    BIRIBIRIBIRIBIRIBIRIBIRI

  24. P.... W....

    I honestly think this is a great song and would force a rush to the dance floor but contrary to the funny memes/comments: the auto tune leaves a bad taste in the mouth that we all are familiar in mainstream pop songs. Let’s at least acknowledge.

  25. s.... v....

    U guys just safe 2019

  26. B.... d....

    I blast this at home and everybody just glares 😂 but I’m the mom in this house and my music goes ✊🏼❤️

  27. C.... C....

    This is pretty bad. It sucks honestly. After such a good record like tyranny.

  28. M.... B....

    kirin j kallinan and the voidz. moar give me moooaaaarrr

  29. A.... L....

    bonde dos void pesadao

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

    i study in the same place where maximiliano was killed.

  31. H.... F....

    my nigga

  32. M.... M....

    This song is dedicated to all of the iluminatti and the people who rule the world in the shadows like jules said all we can do is stay alert since the arrival of a new messiah was never so close to us. We can fight together to destroy this money bases system and star all over again by defeating the elite

  35. t.... g....

    This makes me feel incredibly bad in a place I’m not in touch with.

  36. A.... C....

    2 albums and this brilliant single.....they're honestly becoming one of my favorite bands of all time.

    A.... C....

    I still like solo Julian the best, but the voidz two studio albums are my top 2 albums right now. They trade places for the top spot every now and again.

  37. �.... ....

    The chorus sounds like instant crush

  38. p.... ....

    Julian is really channeling his inner T-Pain with some of these tracks lmao

  39. S.... ....

    What the fuck is that, Julian capacity has no limits

  40. D.... A....

    El shulian incitando a que aperturen el tercer ojo hight lsd este kpo. #Largavidaalgordoplz

  46. L.... B....

    Funny to see how Julian has evolved since First Impressions On Earth

  47. M.... L....

    INCRÍVEL!
    Se não tem Strokes vai The Voidz né kkk

  48. D.... F....

    𓂀 D. M. T. 𓂀

  49. R.... S....

    Nothing is ever deleted anymore. It's my life and I can't delete it.

  50. T.... ....

    Kto slucha Casablancas'a?

  51. G.... B....

    Pure musical genius

  52. S.... ....

    Reminds me of "Breadwinner" by Everything Everything... in a good way.

  53. J.... A....

    Julian sounds like Eminem trying to rap in a horrible accent like the ones he used on the album Rehab.

  54. A.... A....

    Seeing now that the gents vibed it out on this one

  55. M.... G....

    This is my 2020 fave song

  56. M.... G....

    Sick lyrics

  57. F.... C....

    Lol 0:21 sounds like the music that plays during Squidward Live.

    F.... C....

    AHAHAHAHAHAHA

  58. S.... W....

    Still no million views yet?!?!

  59. A.... F....

    This sounds a lot like the song Instant Crush that jules did with daft punk

    A.... F....

    In the chorus for sure. But, damn, does it work so nicely here.

  60. p.... ....

    chorus reminds me of trying your luck

  61. A.... M....

    Te amo te amo te amo Julián Casablancas. Desde "Taken for a fool" walking this Tao path with you

  62. J.... W....

    mm this is like the best single ever. don't change my mind

  63. V.... C....

    T.E T.E.T

  64. S.... ....

    مهرجان خالد التاو

  65. l.... d....

    Julian, the new hatsune miku.

  66. B.... G....

    What iPhone or Target commercial will this be featured on.

  67. K.... B....

    I love it. Text music and Julian of cuuuuurse! 🌷

  68. A.... S....

    ME ENCANTAAAAAA

  69. L.... P....

    sounds like "one way trigger"

  70. R.... B....

    Totally addicted to this song . I just wanted some friends to share my passion of Voidz but nobodys listen to it, just me. People don't like good music :(
    PS* if someone see some sentence error in this comment please let me know, Brazilian here :)

  71. n.... ....

    And yet here I am again because i got the fucking song stuck in my head

  72. n.... ....

    So I'm here solely for Mac because I grew bored with the Strokes/Casablancas and I'm having a hard time deciphering where Mac had a play...was it the synthy bassline continuing through the whole song

  73. T.... ....

    Dear Alex;
    In case you read this, you can't be in the voidz either.
    Xoxo
    -JC

  74. l.... ....

    How does julian make such beautiful music with the weirdest lyrics, sounds, instruments, I mean he is a god

  75. s.... ....

    when i was 16 nobody believed

  76. C.... M....

    This is one of my favorite Voidz songs and I have no idea why

  77. E.... V....

    The begging of this song sounds just like Vroom Vroom by Charli xcx 🤔

  78. m.... m....

    I like the Arabic that's totally incorrect and just for being an aesthetic .

  79. A.... J....

    I keep coming back to this song

  80. v.... ....

    Te amo Julian Casablancas

  81. R.... M....

    T-Pain has left the studio...

  82. J.... C....

    That voooice...barritone baby😋🙃😎.

  88. D.... Z....

    Fuck outta here with your whole song being an ad you goofballs

  89. S.... S....

    What about what's beyond

  90. P.... L....

    Not sure it's really experimental at all but it's their only good song so..

  91. R.... F....

    I love The Voidz but this song is just not good.

  92. J.... F....

    Mac Demarco produced this.

  93. G.... H....

    brabíssimo

  94. D.... ....

    "The truth lies beyond what you see" .

  95. N.... T....

    The man did it again

  96. J.... a....

    This is like watching Seth Rogen being high in a late 90s Chuckie Cheese's in a Chicago Suburb
