Metric - Speed The Collapse Lyrics






All the way from where we came
Built a mansion in a day
Distant lightning, thunder claps
Watched our neighbor's house collapse
Looked the other way
And then the storm was overhead
All the oceans boiled and rivers bled
We auctioned off our memories
In the absence of a breeze
Scatter what remains
Scatter what remains!

Pushed away, I'm pulled toward
A comedown of revolving doors
Every warning we ignored
Drifting in from distant shores
The wind presents a change of course
A second reckoning of sorts
We were wasted waiting for
A comedown of revolving doors

Fate don't fail me now

And when the days that followed past
In another mansion built to last
From our window we could see
Only possibilities
Down the road and back
But, then the storm returned for more
In a comedown of revolving doors
Auctioned off our memories
In the absence of a breeze
Scatter what remains
Scatter what remains!

Pushed away, I'm pulled toward
A comedown of revolving doors
Every warning we ignored
Drifting in from distant shores
The wind presents a change of course
A second reckoning of sorts
We were wasted waiting for
A comedown of revolving doors

Fate don't fail me now
Fate don't fail me now
Fate don't fail me now
Fate don't fail me now

Metric Speed The Collapse Comments
  1. f.... P....

    FIFA 13 valió la pena por esta rola...

  2. J.... B....

    In 1976, The Eagles released a song called The Last Resort and in 2012, Metric released a song with a simialr story called Speed the Collapse. I don't think anything was on purpose, I just think of these songs as two sides to the coin.

  3. P.... N....

    My favourite fifas are fifa 11, fifa 13 and fifa 15

  4. J.... ....

    Best song on fifa 13 no cap

  5. S.... ....

    This song is so important to me. I happened to hear it on Pandora at work, so I looked it up at home. I was studying for my boards at the time. My life was constantly studying or working. I would listen to this song while studying. And then the day came to take the test. And I passed. I freakin love this song and Metric. <3 "Fate don't fail me now."

  6. 4.... g....

    RIP EA and Fifa, the game sucks now, and so does the soundtrack. Thanks Metric by the way for this great song, this was my favourite of the game that year, I loved the song so much that I searched for all the stuff I could found about Metric.

    A.... C....

    Andres Chacon first fifa game i ever played i miss it too much now 😕

    A.... C....

    Fifa 13 was my first ultimate team Fifa and the first one I discovered pro clubs on. Every day after school and on weekends me and my friends would get home and fire up ultimate team and play each other and seasons to see who could build the best team. The gameplay was so much fun and memorable and the soundtrack was beautiful and extremely memorable and every song creates a wave of nostalgia for me. I miss this game more than anything and miss those year 8 days counting down the hours in school to get home and fire up Fifa 13. Always one of my most treasured memories

  62. K.... ....

    Wish I'd discovered this when it was new. Better late than never. Can't stop listening!

  63. J.... D....

    Beautiful vocal thank you

  64. W.... I....

    thumbs up if you are waiting for a comedown of revolving doors

    a.... M....

    That is because Metric and Emily are the most underrated working artists in our time.

  79. J.... B....

    Speed the Collapse is essentially a modern version of the song THE LAST RESORT by The Eagles... both genius, prophetic, Aldous Huxleyian masterpieces of music...

  80. L.... D....

    Currently playing FIFA 19 and wishing the soundtrack could still have songs like this. Amazing.

  81. J.... D....

    Grey's Anatomy anyone?
