Matthew And The Atlas - Nowhere Now Lyrics






It's harder now, the work is stopped
And we're nowhere now
Old bones that wear you down
Old dreams that push you around
Maybe I'm a stubborn man
Maybe I can't see
But Jesus don't talk to me
I never did believe
Believe

Do you need to keep pushing on
Cause this place, this place is like a funeral
I couldn't help thinking on the talk I heard on the radio
If they're gonna keep pulling it down
Someday, maybe you should let it go
I don't mind telling you so, if it gives
Me something to hold on to
Something to hold on to

We follow the white deer trail
Found a hunter's trap
Made out of steel and wire
Body gripped and wrapped
I run my hands across your jaw, your teeth, your tongue, your brow
The blood is spreading to your brain
We've got to get it out somehow, somehow

Do you need to keep pushing on
Cause this place, this place is like a funeral
I couldn't help thinking on the talk I heard on the radio
If they're gonna keep pulling it down
Someday, maybe you should let it go
I don't mind telling you so, if it gives
Me something to hold on to
Something to hold on to

A pink moon shone
Lighting your shadow [?]
A witness to what came before
A witness to what came before

Do you need to keep pushing on
Cause this place, this place is like a funeral
I couldn't help thinking on the talk I heard on the radio
If they're gonna keep pulling it down
Someday, maybe you should let it go
I don't mind telling you so, if it gives
Me something to hold on to

  1. N.... o....

    This should also be titled: The Secret Musings of SamSquamch :p

  2. S.... C....

    5 years later and it still bums me out that Animal Bones never got a studio recording of the original acoustic version which I first heard in Edinburgh around 8 years ago. Sucks much.

  3. E.... #....

    This is so good and underrated!

  4. A.... Z....

    Jesus Christ your music is amazing !!!!! I get goosebumps with every song. This chanel should have hundreds of millions of views

  5. P.... S....

    Good change sounds more positive

  6. G.... V....

    Still a good song, although I`ll never let my Animal Bones version goes out of my Itunes.

  7. F.... ....

    Nice job guys !! :)

  8. D.... L....

    I don't like too much this version.. I think that "Animal Bones" original version is absolutely better.. Anyway a good song too..

    D.... L....

    +Denise “Photographer” Lombardi Completely Agree, not really sure why they chose to remake all of these songs.

  9. E.... M....

    sounds like Hozier

  10. H.... M....

    i thought this was animal bones? they got the same lyrics in them, or is it me?

    H.... M....

    It is, of course...

  11. A.... ....

    I don't know why people are so but hurt, I'm a huge folk/bluegrass love and generally prefer that genre, but I must say I love the changes you've done to this song. It's way more lively now.

    A.... ....

    Not to mention we get to enjoy two different versions with different vibes to them, not many bands can pull something like this off.

    A.... ....

    Sounds a lot like Animal bones which is a different song.

  12. M.... B....

    maybe you should let it go......

  13. I.... A....

    This song is hauntingly amazing. Absolutely superb! I don't mind the video either. If you don't like it then don't watch it, simple as that.

  14. G.... P....

    Excellent!!!  Great job.

  15. J.... T....

    I don't like it either. The video lacks any message and distracts from the song. Theres less soul in the music and the imagery is skewed. Definitely a thumbs down. 

  16. T.... ....

    that ghIllie suit :=O

  17. P.... R....

    The video reminds me of Menomena's Cough Coughing video…!

  18. M.... G....

    It's unfortunate there are those who want to put artists in a teeny little box and expect them to just be content in those same 4 walls. Paths are designed to be traveled, intersections meant to be crossed. I love to see an artist change and grow in the journey of finding themselves. There's plenty of time to be static when you're dead. Keep on doing what you're doing!

    h.... ....

    exactly, so money people on here thinking they should stay doing the same stuff which kept them relatively small, rather than produce stuff like this that will get them noticed and allow them to become more successful  

  20. H.... K....

    i saw on an interview that you think the change in sound has sparked a positive reaction. what you've done is disappointed  a bunch of fans who hope you can one day return to the brilliant song maker you were

    H.... K....

    why do people not understand that //EVERYTHING// in music is subjective. i think they were brilliant 3 years ago, and i think they're brilliant now. Pale Rose Sun? Nowhere Now? gimme, gimme, man. I Will Remain? Animal Bones? hot damn, let's hear it. just because you think they've lost their touch; that they're no longer brilliant doesn't make it so. The Black Keys' new album Turn Blue is just awful in my opinion, and so what? i still love them to death, still hope to see them do well.

    i've been a fan for a long time and i'm not at all disappointed with their new sound.

    H.... K....

    @Andrew MacNeil i never said people wouldn't like it, i said they will lose touch on the fans which got them to this point. this album is good, a memory of you is fucking brilliant, but all in all it is too overproduced and synthesized for me to even compare it to the 2 prior EPs. 

    H.... K....

    +Hunter Kimmerle Some artists make things for themselves, and it's great that people like it, but no one should be bound by one point in their career. They ultimately got themselves to this point, and maybe that point isn't the end goal.

  21. D.... B....

    Awesome

  22. M.... M....

    Im very disapointed, the originial song was much better ( Animal Bones ). This is total bullshit.

  23. D.... N....

    Love it!
