Kerekes, Mat - Diamonds Lyrics






You're heading back, back to the start
You're not sure how you got where you are
And it's getting late and now the lights are off
No one is ever born a hero, they are broken into one

If we can take our time
But don't you take too long
If we can take our time

Oh, don't you notice diamonds in your eyes
While you're looking through your window?
Oh, years have been stolen, living on the inside
Living on the inside

Stranger, where are you heading next?
A handful of magazines was all that I could get
Old friend, I'll go to the places we've been
And pretend you never left, pretend you never left

Oh, don't you notice diamonds in your eyes
While you're looking through your window?
Oh, we are outspoken, living on the inside
Living on the inside, we have been there for so long

Okay, I think it's time to go
I put my fingers to the ground and wept
Okay, I think we've said enough
We were never meant to feel that way again

Oh, don't you notice diamonds in your eyes
While you're looking through your window?
Oh, it gets lonely living on the inside
Living on the inside

  1. E.... 9....

    God this is such a great song. I love when songs switch like that suddenly with that huge vocal switch and the instruments to back it up with the backup singers in unison its just butter to my ears

  2. T.... B....

    Only 57k views in a full year. While Yummy by Bieber fever has 111 million in 20 days. if only...

  3. B.... G....

    Most of the time, Spotify has suss recommendations, but fuck I love when it shows me stuff like this!

  4. Q.... ....

    When Freddie Mercury joins Modest Mouse.

  5. T.... ....

    6+ months after this song came out it's still my favorite song of the year

  6. J.... J....

    Freddie Mercury is smiling somewhere

  7. U.... p....

    Oh my god I’m in love with this song 😍😍

  8. O.... S....

    great song

  9. B.... R....

    Literally my new fav

  10. P.... K....

    A beautiful girl named lexxi showed me this amazing song🖤

  11. S.... ....

    listening to this i could see it being performed on late night or something, choir backup singers and everything. mat is able to make alt-rock that is both highly accessible and incredibly deep at the same time. i know citizen is the main gig but this album really sounds like it could blow up

  12. M.... H....

    Man I discovered Mat from what I believe was a cover of 'Me vs. Maradona vs. Elvis' by Brand new. From that, I discovered Citizen. From there I heard his own stuff. To see his spectrum of musical talent is incredible. I absolutely love his music.
    Side note: if you have to "DJ" and you're afraid people won't like "your music", Direction is a hit for literally everyone I've ever showed it to. Hats off to Mat Kerekes.

  13. M.... A....

    This is amazing. Freddy Mercury would jam it

  14. N.... N....

    I wasn't ready

  15. S.... ....

    Gives me serious The Feeling vibes (not a bad thing)

  16. A.... N....

    Houston tonight !

  17. B.... D....

    Love this man.

  18. J.... A....

    Saw you in Toronto the other week and you fucking killed it with this song live, best performance of the night. Can tell you're really passionate about the new material and its amazing to listen to.

  19. G.... P....

    Good morning, good afternoon, good evening and goodnight.
    Hit that wall

  20. J.... I....

    INSAINEEE!!!!!!

  21. M.... R....

    I fucking love him so much, he’s so talented

  22. M.... A....

    Take his punk card away! This shit suck's. He don't deserve to be in a punk band anymore! Fuck this

  23. S.... R....

    Please do something with Tyler The Creator

  24. N.... N....

    This song has grown on me like craaaazy! Fuck this song is good

    N.... N....

    It's actually ridiculous! Easily Mat's best song. The changes, vibe, production, lyrics, variety in vocals and instruments etc.

  25. G.... P....

    1:30 is that a "Stink Bug"?

  26. k.... a....

    Catchy song is more betterrrr

  27. P.... C....

    The whole world needs to know about the existence of Mat

  28. K.... M....

    song has queen energy

  29. M.... M....

    This sounds like an early Queen song XD

  30. L.... B....

    I wish nothing but success to you Mat, I’ll be seeing you soon in San Francisco brother

  31. K.... S....

    So beautiful

  32. o.... D....

    I wanna cover this with an acoustic guitar 😍

  33. r.... b....

    Such good shit m8. Would be cool to see some of his new solo stuff incorporated into citizen

  34. k.... ....

    As a big fan of Citizen and Queen I love this song

  35. C.... M....

    I got one like so I guess you're coming to Minnesota!

  36. D.... e....

    Quick story: Back in 2016 when Anthony was doing his Pixie Queen tour, I was waiting in the crowd seeing a band set up. I thought, man that dude setting up looks like the singer from Citizen a little TOO much.
    I did a quick google search (thinking Citizen was playing in Germany at the time)
    That's the day I found he has his solo project.
    After the show I met him and mentioned how I didn't know he had his solo stuff.
    He said something along the lines of 'yeah this is just for fun' or 'I do this for fun'
    Won't ever forget that answer.

  37. d.... ....

    What a jammmm

  38. T.... ....

    Wow, this is really really good.

  39. T.... O....

    I love this other side of you Mat. Very 90's

  40. �.... L....

    This makes me want to bounce my ass in a circle!

  41. �.... L....

    This song makes me want to shake my little butt and dance!

  42. C.... M....

    this song slaps

  56. j.... h....

    Nice 👌

  57. M.... D....

    Another hit

  58. C.... B....

    Is it possible to really dig a song AND think it's trash at the same time? Because that's me right now.

  59. S.... C....

    you are just too cool

  60. t.... r....

    i swear to GOD he never writes a bad song 🤩

  61. n.... ....

  65. b.... c....

    Beautiful

  66. R.... T....

    Holy shit mat! 😳

  67. K.... ....

    Great song and very creative video. So random but for some reason it works perfectly

  68. m.... p....

    Can’t believe this song

  69. R.... N....

    Mat I love you but what the hell was this video

    Also I hope we'll get to hear some old songs on your tour

  70. D.... F....

    Amazing

  71. S.... Z....

    THIS IS SO GOOOOOOOOD

  72. C.... D....

    Such a talented guy. Pumped to see you in march.

  73. L.... G....

    AMAZING

    L.... G....

    really that's amazing

  74. G.... ....

    where do they find all these random clips

    G.... ....

    Goose Games I’m guessing that there’s a guy out there who makes music videos like this for a living and Mat Kerekes just paid him for it. Then they do a little tweaking by adding Mat into the vid for a few shots ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  75. c.... p....

    So sick.
    Also, mortal kombat font is a plus

  76. L.... v....

    Omg this is amazing, love you mat!!!

  77. s.... h....

    It slaps

  78. I.... S....

    как всегда охуенно

  79. M.... L....

    Argentina <3

  80. g.... g....

    I don't know why but this song makes me feel so much nostalgia.

  81. T.... W....

    Fucking beautiful!!!!

  82. B.... ....

    This fucking rocks.

  83. M.... H....

    yet another slapper

  84. D.... K....

    Queen Kerekes

    D.... K....

    my thought exactly

  85. C.... B....

    Did Mat just write a Queen song?

    C.... B....

    First thing I thought haha

    C.... B....

    Seems like we all thought the same thing.

    C.... B....

    Was spinning this at work last night and swear to god thought the same thing - glad I’m not the only one!

    C.... B....

    it's as if Fun. and Queen morphed into a bedroom project.

    C.... B....

    this was giving me an ELO vibe if imma be honest

  86. M.... ....

    His song writing ability is so crazy. Normally you can tell when an artist writes their own songs because all their music sound at least a little similar. But not Mat. Writes all his own music AND it’s ever-changing. Even this is so different than ruby. His old music is so different than Luna and Wild Blue Everything. His music is his journal. Truly a great guy.

  87. T.... T....

    another masterpiece, thanks mat
    would love to see u in portugal

  88. T.... J....

    ❤❤❤

  89. f.... g....

    You’re the best, Mat kerekes 🥀💎

  90. S.... B....

    *Muah!*

  91. M.... W....

    💙💙💙

  92. L.... L....

    Thank you

  93. T.... G....

    I dont know why but this made me think of Malcolm in the Middle. Anyhow a great song nonetheless!

    T.... G....

    The way the music video is edited is similar to the theme song.

  94. D.... P....

    this reminds me of QUEEN! I love the song and the lyrics, Mat puts a lot of passion in his art. I’m seeing him live in March I can’t wait ❤️

  95. D.... W....

    DE LA PTM

  96. A.... M....

    ERES LO MÁXIMO MAT!

  97. H.... R....

    one of the most interesting and versatile artists out right now, sick song and video.

  98. J.... C....

    Those bits with the chorus of voices in the background is borderline Queen level of sound layering. Another masterpiece ❤️

    J.... C....

    I thought the same thing when I first heard it!!!
