Metric - Synthetica Lyrics






Some of us are wild ones, ever underwanted,
I believe

Lining up in the background,
Waiting for the crowd-shot to be seen

In the shadow of the big screen,
Everybody begs to be redeemed

Hey, I'm not Synthetica
I'll keep the life that I've got

We were never meant to crawl in for the bait,
We never will

I can think for myself,
I've got something no pill could ever kill

Hey, I'm not Synthetica, oh
I'll keep the life that I've got, oh
So hard, hard to resist Synthetica, oh
No drug is stronger than me, Synthetica

We're all the time confined to fit the mold
But I won't ever let them make a loser of my soul

Hey, I'm not Synthetica, oh
I'll keep the life that I've got, oh
I'll keep the life that I've got
I'll keep the life that I've got
I'll keep the life that I've got

    2019 here this song is boss at 1.25 speed!

  2. M.... B....

    Women are insane. That makes me sad.

  3. D.... A....

    AWESOME!!!

  4. L.... F....

    Emily is on point in this track, but the real star here is Jimmy. Do yourself a favor: pay really close attention to how Jimmy's guitar work perfectly frames and punctuates Emily's words (particularly that part after Emily finishes singing "everybody begs to be redeemed" and "I got something that no pill will ever kill") . Without Jimmy, this song would be merely good. With Jimmy, this song becomes an anthem. Listen to the live acoustic versions, too! It's a whole different song without synths and amplifiers!

    Granted, I just quit my first big-boy corporate job in order to live in a commune with a bunch of anarchists and permaculturists, so maybe this track strikes a chord in me personally.

  5. D.... D....

    Nostalgic ass fuck

  6. N.... ....

    as a die hard metalhead... i m really enjoying this band...they got a classic vibe and unique vocal tone in their music...it's feel like the 80's music...

  7. L.... R....

    Summer Jan 2013, where we are, lost my cell, inside there was a Video of my 4 1/2 yo Daughter, up on the kitchen table, Dancing and Singing this song, now she's 12. Thank you Metric!

    Ayeee! lets go!

  11. R.... L....

    What a voice :)

  12. D.... M....

    I think I discovered Metric via a cheap (maybe free) label sample I got from Amazon. And to this day, I wonder if and how anyone knows about this band? And they are intriguing and their albums are all worth owning... they show up in my own personal YouTube playlist elsewhere too.

  13. b.... b....

    I d!d the coca in too

    = but it wasn't THAT good!=

  18. S.... F....

    This song always reminds me of the film Brick. They're seperate mediums but they elicit the same emotions and feel.

    Great film, great song

    S.... F....

    I love that movie!

  19. S.... i....

  25. I.... D....

    Emily has the best legs in the game, hands down

  26. W.... R....

    Imo modern day hole sound

  27. p.... ....

    I love the band, and I love the song, but I actually kinda loathe the music video. It just feels like a lazy, half-assed attempt at a music video by the director and does such a disservice to the song itself.

  28. D.... M....

    Better by far then most of the stuff today . Will always be a fan .

  29. G.... C....

    Four Emilys are better than one.

  30. A.... M....

    I just saw them in San Antonio this past week and can report that they sound exactly as they did 10 years ago. It's amazing. They put on the best live shows. And i meannnn... LOOK HOW GORGEOUS EMILY IS.

  31. L.... E....

    This is one of the most amazing songs i've heard

  32. J.... ....

  70. S.... C....

    If there were a song that encapsulated or embodied everything I live for, believe, and value, it would be this one 🤘

  71. C.... A....

    This song reminds me so much of the theme to Pole Position. 80s nostalgia.

  72. F.... T....

    Metric should be so much bigger because they're so much better than most of what's currently on heavy rotation on the radio these days.
