Metric - Clone Lyrics






Call me out
My regret
Only makes me
Stronger yet

Nothing I've ever done right
Happened on the safe side
It's the other way
I'm missing everyone I know now

It's too late in the day,
Too late in the day to take you on all the rides
I was afraid to tell you that

Back to that
Photograph
Can you clone me?
I look like everyone you know now

It's too late in the day,
Too late in the day to turn it around or change my mind
It's too late in the day to take you on all the rides
It's too late in the day to tell me I'm off the path
We're already in the aftermath

Call me out
My regret
Only makes me
Stronger yet

It's too late in the day,
Too late in the day to turn it around or change my mind
It's too late in the day to take you on all the rides
It's too late in the day to tell me I'm off the path
We're already in the aftermath

Metric Clone Comments
  1. D.... E....

    Lovely synth patch.

  2. C.... J....

    This album is a cover up of words for searching for Synthetica Clones FYI.

  3. B.... ....

    may 2019 anyone?

  4. J.... ....

    This album kicks ass. Emily's voice on this track is the greatest.

    J.... ....

    Such a lovely voice.

    J.... ....

    It is timeless.

  5. D.... ....

    The vocalist reminds me a bit of Cerys Matthews. Amazing. When people say no one makes great pop music anymore I'll point them here.

    D.... ....

    DeejvilleTV yes I've always thought they are similar. Although no disrespect to Emily but I would say Cerys chooses to use more versatility, i.e. she sings in wildly different styles from one song to the next sometimes. I love that about her.

    D.... ....

    its Canadian, maybe they make them better up their?

  6. m.... m....

    Beautiful Emily's voice is angelic how the hell could u not like this??

  7. M.... B....

    wish they would come back to st. louis

  8. m.... o....

    Emily!! beautifull song!

  9. J.... B....

    Good song.

  10. K.... W....

    Interesting. I stumbled upon this looking up a Hank Williams Sr song. What a contrast. Think?

  11. M.... S....

    love the solo...so reggae :)

  12. j.... k....

    why is metric so fucking awesome

    j.... k....

    kilometers insteadda.....miles....

  13. t.... b....

    whats that 

    t.... b....

    get lost

  14. V.... B....

    his swag makes me puke on jb for poisoning this kids with " Swag "

  15. m.... ....

    Beat is bit repetitive and coldly 'Germanic' but the lyrics and Emily's voice are beautiful as always.

  16. R.... G....

    Just met a girl and I think im falling in love with her to this song.

    R.... G....

    I think this song is about breaking up though lol

    R.... G....

    @ancient pixel well why, is he dead

    R.... G....

    Its been long old friend, too long. I never thought I would eventually return here, but I guess you always meet twice.

    R.... G....

    @THEY CANT STOP ME Nah actually cause he hasn't been here for like 5 years.

    R.... G....

    @ancient pixel I guess it was too late in the day to turn him around and change his mind....

  17. Y.... D....

    I wasnt too much on them at the beginnings of their career but now...with this little piece of album they put, they really really mature sound wise, i just cant get enough, hope they will be in Osheaga in 2014, they are there every second year and last year they were not so im crossing finger they come to Montreal this summer. 

  18. k.... w....

    Best part is at the beginning *-*

  19. B.... ....

    loving this band, sooo much, their songs are awesome :D thanks for upload X

  20. t.... ....

    My friend introduced me to "lost kitten" and I've been on a metric bing for like a month and a half now. This is my new favorite song. Thanks Becka!

    t.... ....

    Have you listened to any of Fantasies yet? That was my favorite album.

  21. R.... R....

    it's too late in the day, it's too late in the day~

  22. l.... a....

    This song just reminds you of your first dance..you don't care that the other guys or girls think its cheesy that your dancing with someone..all you care about is dancing with the one you love..completely lost in the moment

  23. U.... T....

    Please come to Belgium

  24. J.... O....

    The last minute of this song is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

  25. v.... g....

    namaste

  26. N.... S....

    i really love this song... best of the album and one of my favs all times :3

  27. A.... P....

    What a F$%£?

  28. e.... ....

    Isn't it an amazing feeling when you recently discover one of your favorite songs? You usually just need to hear it once, and maybe you weren't paying too much attention at the beginning... But, then you get chills, connect with the lyrics, and fall in love. This is an absolute gem of all Metric songs, in my opinion.

  29. C.... W....

    This is a beautiful song. One of their best and certainly one of my favorite tunes by anyone.

  30. m.... ....

    I love this song, especially at 2:35. I can't stop replaying that part <3

  31. F.... ....

    there is no 5:13

  32. S.... ....

    I want to hear a cover of this song by death cab for cutie

  33. L.... S....

    4 idiots! 64k++ geniuses! ...so far and counting up!

  34. R.... ....

    Metric has always managed to make songs that the individual can relate too. A lot of bands have moved away from that, which is when I tend to move away from them.

  35. D.... D....

    ditto! and completely agree :)

  36. T.... ....

    This and Lost Kitten are my favorites from this album. It was a tough call though, since everything Metric does is just so perfect!

  37. W.... S....

    This is by far my favorite song off the new Album, love the slow, deep synth and Emily's vocals are spot on and beautiful. Very addicting!

  38. T.... E....

    best song on the album.

  39. b.... ....

    I don't know what it is about Metric. I think I've listened to this entire album at least once every day since it came out. How is that even possible? This song especially. I listen to it and it feels like it's been part of me this whole time. What an amazing album. I really love Metric and have 100% respect for them. I'm seeing them in NY and I wish I could tell them how much they mean to me. Truly inspirational stuff. You're the best, Metric.

  40. D.... P....

    Got tickets to their show in St. Louis. CAN'T WAIT!!!!

  41. C.... G....

    Listening to this puts me in a great mood. But the lyrics completely counter the music, it is so brilliantly written.

  42. c.... ....

    sick sick song.

  43. N.... R....

    perfect song is perfect

  44. I.... ....

    Love the song and tremendously enjoyed seeing Emily and the boys live on Tuesday here in Paris! Concert of the year so far! The guitars in this particular song remind be a tiny bit of Explosions in the Sky's "your hand in mine"- (which is a good thing) but plly I am the only one who hears a slight resemblance...

  45. P.... ....

    How could you possibly have misread that? Just curious....

  46. C.... ....

    Er, ignore that other reply. Misread your comment.

  47. C.... ....

    Listen to Artificial Nocturne.

  48. J.... ....

    Sorry.. I raped the replay button.

  49. M.... R....

    Why does it say this song is "Explicit" on iTunes? I read through the lyrics and listened to it but I can't find anything that would be explicit.

  50. S.... O....

    The best ...

  51. K.... &....

    Is this song about living with regrets or has her decision been made and she's moving on to a stronger and better place? i get the sadness in the hook (too late in the day, we're already in the aftermath) but "makes me stronger yet" seems like she has come to terms with her grief and sadness. isn't this growing?

  52. h.... ....

    Metric said this album was a culmination of everything they've done. The lyrics are in the same vein as "Old World" and "Grow Up & Blow Away", the guitars and energy are from "Live It Out", and the production is from "Fantasies". The album's lyrical content goes from pessimism at the start of the first track to faint optimism by the end of the album. This song is 9th on the album, so maybe that is a hint of what you're picking up on.

  53. l.... ....

    You slowed it down even more? Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Sounds pretty nice.

  54. J.... C....

    Best track on Synthetica by far. Can't get it out of my head

  55. S.... C....

    On iTunes, this song is listed as explicit. I didn't notice any words or themes that would be deemed inappropriate by anyone. Maybe the word "Clone" earns it the Explicit label. Am I missing something?

  56. s.... ....

    my favourite from the new album

  57. J.... D....

    Great Song Love it!!!

  58. j.... ....

    Is it just me or is the guitar tune (starts at 2:40) the same as the basic tune of "standing in a line".

  59. f.... ....

    shut Up and Take My Money !!

  60. B.... B....

    Well, she laid a whole disc company (metric music international) only with counted people, against the whole music industry which is really threatening. It means you have to take a big shot to make big things happen, even if you may fail and loose everything. Like saying the boy you like that you do.

  61. B.... ....

    Speed the Collapse is still my favorite.

  62. B.... B....

    "Nothing I´ve ever done right/ happened on the safe side..."

  63. g.... ....

    The synthesizers with the bells & xylophones that build up to the guitar near the bridge and choruses are perfectly juxtaposed with the dark lyrics. Is it okay to reference Emily's words as people? Their songs always make me feel so alive. Metic's sound is just being fine tuned into perfection! I don't hear this as happy relationship music at all. LOL
