Placebo - Special K Lyrics






Coming up beyond belief
On this coronary thief
More than just a leitmotif
More chaotic, no relief
I'll describe the way I feel
Weeping wounds that never heal
Can the savior be for real
Or are you just my seventh seal?

No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
I never ever want to crash
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Now you're back with dope demand
I'm on sinking sand
Gravity
No escaping gravity
Gravity
No escaping... not for free
I fall down... hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around

I'll describe the way I feel
You're my new Achilles heel
Can this savior be for real
Or are you just my seventh seal?

No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
I never ever want to crash
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Now you're back with dope demand
I'm on sinking sand
Gravity
No escaping gravity
Gravity
No escaping... not for free
I fall down... hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around

No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
Gravity [x4]

    "You're in there somewhere"
    Well, no shit.

  40. E.... C....

    This might be just within my interpretation of the song, but the line of "can this savior be for real, or are you just my seventh seal" makes me feel completely devastated. The thought of keeping hope for someone or something to come and save you from the mess all around you instead of acknowledging that you only have yourself and your will to move forward perpetuates self harm and sabotaging tendencies, and a general everlasting sense of despair.
    I'm probably completely off of Brian's meaning and instead getting personal, but that's how I feel as a bipolar and addict listening to the song.

    grandpappy no mistaken, grandpappy, love it :). hate gravity though.. there´s no escaping it.. well if you go into space and fall forever i guess.. but then there´d be gravity there too cause we´re falling through space which´s so vast it never ends or we fall in circles like planets.. always wants to pull everything down to it´s core/mouth. though since things only go as far as the floor, ever i don´t see the point in gravity trying to steal all of our s#¤% unless it´s just to get on our nerves... gravity´s a selfish little c#¤%. taking your yoghurt, rolling that pen towards the tables end for no f#¤%ng reason.. so on so forth. the universe may also be a complete d#¤%...

    The girl who introduced me to this band changed my life in many ways. I was 19 and she was 28, and she and I were lovers and it was wonderful. We strictly adhered to a "friends with benefits only" arrangement and I was perfectly fine with it. Being my age I had no interest in settling down, I wouldn't realise how much it meant to me until now, almost 10 years later. I never even asked myself why I let an "I love you" slip when drunk with her. Now we are hours and hours away from each other and haven't spoken in many years. I wish we could have seen where things would have gone. Rae, if you can read this, you still "come on like special k" to me, and I hope wherever you are, you are happy and loved. Thank you for opening my world up despite not completely understanding it at the time.

    i.... ....

    @Lívia Oliveira It's a pang in my heart that I am not certain will ever go away. I like to think one day that I will see her again and realize the potential we had now that I am older. But that is slim to none. But I hope she has found someone who knows her worth and loves her completely. She deserves that happiness, and despite the ache I am grateful to have known her at all.

    i.... ....

    it was for the best. the older you get the less you have in common. she will be thinking wills and aarp going through menopause and you will be 40 wanting to have fun still. but seriously, one day you will look back at a 19 year old and want to strangle them and think man, was I that annoying at that age? then you'll realize why she took off so to speak.. if you met now, it could probably work. but you were far too young to land a 30 year old woman. she only had 5 or 6 years left to have kids.

    i.... ....

    @blue03r6 That's a good way to look at it. As much as the feelings are there, the practicality of it certainly is not. I just come listen to placebo and reminisce on a beautiful, crazy and life changing tryst from years ago. I'm just glad I got to have my fling with her at all. Thank you for the perspective, internet stranger. :)

    Ah the innocence of youth. I remember when this came out and I had no knowledge of Ketamine. The only special K I knew about was the cereal. It was many moons later I was introduced to K, and finally got the song.

    I still liked it, just didn't understand the subtext at the time, in the same way I didn't understand the subtext of Suedes' "Animal Nitrate" until later on in my life.

    PS: I was in my 20s when this came out.

  65. g.... l....

    probably the last great band!

  66. R.... V....

    I first this song when I was 12 on the mtv in Peru, I fell in love with then and I also remember thinking just hearing it felt like what drugs would be. I am in recovery and this song still gives me some euphoria without the aid of a foreign substance. So it’s basically
    Magic

    What's this 2018 you talk about? The khole took me to 3000018. :-D

  77. b.... ....

    I have a theory about this video.
    This song it's about drug addiction,
    in this video the drug (special k) it's embodied by Brian in his weird ship, Steve represents the drug addict. Steve seems to be sick (drug withdrawal), so the only thing that can solve this situation is inject Brian inside his body to cure him. Infact they seem to be in the future and apparently they send mini-people inside the patient to cure him.
    But Brian falls into his mouth and not in his eye, as required by the procedure, and causes even more problems, this represents the fact that taking drugs to feel better is a temporary solution.
    I don't know if I explained clearly what I meant, cause English it's not my mother tongue but I just wanted to make it clear that I think this video is absolutely not as stupid as everyone thinks but absolutely BRILLIANT cause they used a sci-fi background as a metaphor for drug addiction without fall into stereotypes about drugs.
    Best band ever.

    wow… its about drugs? no way.. you just changed my life xD cringe

    b.... ....

    that's an interesting interpretation!

    Nah man, the song is about cereal and how they make you fat hence you can't escape gravity

    b.... ....

    It's about being in a "K hole"
