Sleigh Bells - It's Just Us Now Lyrics






Starting line
Now I'm really, really racing
Stepping on throats, clipping the knees
All that flesh and blood
The real thing
I can see the sun
Going down so rapidly

Free of wreckage
Down below licking streets
I believe deeply
In decency (indecency)
And when I'm conscious, I am cursed
Shark teeth the size of pick-up trucks
All that flesh and blood
The real thing

And when you die
I wanna die, I wanna die with you
And lay us down for good
And lay us down for good

Still torn down by a symphony
I need something warm
Like jet blast
Cool breeze, cool G
I'm having a hard time
Remembering what's important to me
A lifetime just waiting around
For moments like these
(A lifetime just waiting around)
For moments like these
(A lifetime waiting around)
For moments like these

And when you die
I wanna die, I wanna die with you
And lay us down for good
And lay us down for good

And when you die
I wanna die, I wanna die with you
And lay us down for good
And lay us down for good

All that flesh and blood
The real thing
All that flesh and blood
The real thing
All that flesh and blood
The real thing
All that flesh and blood
The real thing

Sleigh Bells It's Just Us Now Comments
  1. A.... a....

    It's the highs and lows of life when you have invested your heart

  2. G.... ....

    Sleigh Bells could be the most underrated artist of the 2K10... they have created a genre of music that have influenced so many artists and I don’t necessarily think they get the credit they deserve. This video came out before Billie Eilish was even a thing and now she’s bigger than they’ll ever be. I’ve been listening to Kids since 2010. Keep it up Sleigh Bells.

  3. J.... W....

    This should have WAAAAY more hits! WTF!

  4. G.... T....

    Anyone else here because of #TheSaviorsSister and Jenna Moreci.

  5. R.... M....

    the transition actually pisses off my senses.

  6. M.... C....

    OMG! This is horrible computer generated music!

  7. D.... I....

    why so many dislikes

  8. l.... g....

    Someone 2019?

    l.... g....

    Me! 😁👍👍👍

  9. J.... W....

    Excellently played music, beautiful girl, amazing song. I can't imagine a more perfect thing. This should have WAY more hits!

  10. J.... ....

    Honestly, I know a lot of ladies think dude is super sexy. But to me he just looks like a creepy ass mall shooter( I mean he played a much more chill, I'm just the bad ass playing the guitar in previous videos) while Alexis just melts my heart and obliterates my soul all the way back to when infinity guitars was brand new.

  11. G.... ....

    Sleigh Bells: Hold my sunglasses

  13. V.... ....

    I'm hearing this record for the first time! OMG!

  14. D.... K....

    This song makes me feel like the world is gonna end soon but in good way?? Idk why I feel this way bout this track but it is what it is

  15. M.... ....

    Where'd that needle drop comment go lmao

  16. r.... s....

    beautiful.

  17. J.... P....

    This song/video got me through some rough shit

  18. G.... A....

    I love Sleigh Bells but the transitions on this song are total pants. I can see what they were trying to do but it just doesn’t work, it sounds completely amateurish.

  19. C.... S....

    He waa in ppison the well she is cool as fuck....

    Sleigh bells are good.
    Fact

  20. M.... W....

    I love her hair

  21. B.... ....

    It's weird how a melon can have some really solid faves and insight into music at large, but still generally hate fun. :(

  22. �.... �....

    With love from Russia

  23. T.... ....

    People love to hate Sleighbells.


    Whatever. I like em.

  24. C.... C....

    Is Dummy Lovato gonna steal from this too?

  25. a.... m....

    this is my favorite song of all time, half because it’s amazing and half because really annoying people dislike it

  26. J.... D....

    Come here big boys FSU

  27. T.... T....

    I love reading these comments complaining about that transition sleigh bells have always been a bit off and that's sleigh bells it's how they work there noise pop and noise pop that's how it gos. I love sleigh bells love this song.

  28. n.... ....

    I fucking love this song.

  29. L.... L....

    I swear this song is Stockholm syndrome. I find it attroctious but I can't get it out of my head. Send help.

  30. E.... ....

    Intesifies

  31. K.... R....

    anybody else brought here when they typed "narcissistic hipsters?"

  32. l.... ....

    this song is amazing. that chorus transition is a cue from heavy metal. that grinding riff into a heavy breakdown, with her melodic and expressive vocals. it's such a beautifully dissonant marriage.

    l.... ....

    100% agree 👍

  33. j.... ....

    I think this song is about grief and because of "And Saints" I'd say it's the death of a father, that's why the title "It's Just Us Now". Mostly the verses represent trying not to think about it and focus on other things, like getting fit, and then that sudden change of pace on the choruses represent when it comes crashing back and you remember.

  34. R.... ....

    She so pretty.

  35. J.... L....

    U are not alone

  36. b.... ....

    ok, but i love them

  37. J.... J....

    Why's everyone complaining about the transition? Their music has always been like this. It's a cacophony of noise pop with unexpected changes in pace, tempo, composition etc. I love the contrast. It's fresh, new & interesting. It's disappointing seeing fans complain about something that made the band amazing and unique in the first place. If you want generic & predictable, go and listen to something more mainstream like Taylor Swift. You'll find your smooth, flowing, predictable, mediocre transitions there. As for Anthony Fantano, someone mentioned him in the comments, he's just one person with an opinion, like the rest of us. If you follow him, religiously without thinking for yourself, you're a fool. I loved the song & video. I'm liking how Alexis' vocals seemed quite simple at first, but she does a lot more vocal gymnastics for lack of a better term. I love their aesthetic, as well. It reminds me of Camden Market, in London & Indie fashion/music when it was at it's peak int he UK.

  38. B.... T....

    This slaps thoooo!!!!

  39. E.... ....

    If you don't like it, you simply can't handle the chaos. Love it.

  40. T.... ....

    I actually love the abruptly transition, guess I’m the only one...

    T.... ....

    Of course Bob Saget would be the only one! Lol

  41. l.... ....

    god, Alexis is hot as the sun

  42. M.... M....

    The Penalty for Failure is Death

  43. E.... ....

    I'm addicted to the guitar tone in their songs. How do they get it so meaty yet so punchy every time? I must know.

  44. F.... T....

    Wig already snatched

  45. b.... ....

    I like it a lot

  46. Z.... ....

    I first discovered them from the movie The Bling Ring with their song Crown On The Ground and I fell in love since!♡

  47. N.... I....

    If you're not down with this transition you can GTFO my friend schitt's fire

  48. H.... J....

    but the Nautica jacket

  49. D.... ....

    not a huge fan of this band or anything, some of their shit is pretty cool but wtf are people finding hard to deal with about a time change in a song? basing it on that douche fantano’s comments is fucking laughable too

  50. M.... B....

    My mom knows thems

  51. M.... B....

    Can’t wait to see you guys soon call my mom for the meet up at my house

  52. b.... ....

    The Penalty For Failure Is Death. 2:24

  53. T.... ....

    The transitions threw me back. Like holy fuck I felt like I was dropping onto the floor.

  54. M.... ....

    Look at all the parrots from fantano fans lmao. Meme.

  55. A.... C....

    I like how the rhythm changes or makes you think that that part is the chorus but then the following part gets more upbeat or different

  56. D.... t....

    Get a Metronome its not that awkward. If you think that was funky stay away from jazz, prog, tech metal etc haha.

  57. p.... 1....

    keeping up with this song is fun

  58. D.... R....

    look at that thug, out in the prairie, all hard, brandishing his gat. . . his gatar, his guitar. . . blame him for the transition, good or bad

  59. Y.... ....

    I love the chorus transition. Sorry everybody.

  60. A.... A....

    was searching for santa video on a sleigh landed here merry christmas to anyone reading this in 2017,2018,2019,2020

  61. M.... S....

    The transition is SUPPOSED to be weird, messy and experimental you fucking idiots

  62. e.... h....

    Starting line
    Now I'm really, really racing
    Stepping on throats, clipping the knees
    All that flesh and blood
    The real thing
    I can see the sun
    Going down so rapidly

    Free of wreckage
    Down below licking streets
    I believe deeply
    In decency (indecency)
    And when I'm conscious, I am cursed
    Shark teeth the size of pick-up trucks
    All that flesh and blood
    The real thing

    And when you die
    I wanna die, I wanna die with you
    And lay us down for good
    And lay us down for good

    Still torn down by a symphony
    I need something warm
    Like jet blast
    Cool breeze, cool G
    I'm having a hard time
    Remembering what's important to me
    A lifetime just waiting around
    For moments like these
    (A lifetime just waiting around)
    For moments like these
    (A lifetime waiting around)
    For moments like these

    And when you die
    I wanna die, I wanna die with you
    And lay us down for good
    And lay us down for good

    And when you die
    I wanna die, I wanna die with you
    And lay us down for good
    And lay us down for good

    All that flesh and blood
    The real thing
    All that flesh and blood
    The real thing
    All that flesh and blood
    The real thing
    All that flesh and blood
    The real thing

  63. M.... S....

    This song goes so hard. Can people stop whining about the transition. Stfu you're all annoying af

  64. F.... B....

    Todd Jones of NAILS turned me onto this!!

    F.... B....

    FUNERAL BILL II

    Same here

  65. K.... N....

    Music vid is kinda cringe but song is so good love u guys!!😂😂

  66. J.... G....

    Horrible video ruined the song

  67. M.... S....

    Wow, I never realized Alexis is so smoking and menacing-looking. Total mismatch with that voice!

  68. x.... ....

    I admire how different this song is. I actually appreciate the change in tempo and simple grunge sound. It's nice to hear something that isn't so predictable. Haters are closed minded.

  69. T.... A....

    This is fucking excellent. Love SB.

  70. P.... 4....

    The song up till 1:07 sounds good....and then the random change sounds good!!!   Just....not together...in the same song lol

  71. s.... ....

    this song owns me- gnarly transitions and all

  72. J.... H....

    Just going to put this out there, but I love the wacky tempo changes.  It adds an edge to the song that, I will admit was weird to hear at first.  But the more I hear it the more I love it.  Stop freaking out about the verse to chorus transition and just enjoy the song...or not :-)

  73. S.... C....

    Almost a year later and this still gives me chills

  74. m.... N....

    i cant get over this song

  75. S.... O....

    Didn't like the transition when this came out but ya know, I like it now.

  76. S.... S....

    Fuck these comments, just stay on track guys.. you'll always have your fans, and then there are those fans who are not noticed.. but be sure they're there!

  77. D.... ....

    this sucks

  78. A.... E....

    best song on the album and fuck Anthony! Love and have loved these guys since the beginning

  83. I.... C....

    this is a PUNK move

  84. H.... R....

    I hated this song upon first listen, I mean the transition was just as bad as Fantano said, but I had to hear it again... and again... and damn it's kinda of catchy and now I pretty much can't stop listening to this song.

  85. r.... P....

    Came here to hate left liking the song and kinda turned on

  86. J.... T....

    This song is a Mess but really enjoyable.
    So Weird, bad, and good at the same time.

  87. N.... ....

    I haven't listened to Sleigh Bells since Treats. What happened to the awesome lo-fi sound? The instrumentation is too clean

  88. C.... ....

    I love how nothing anyone says matters...If you like it, Great! If you dont, Juss go.

  89. M.... F....

    yeah the song may be shitty but alexis krauss could prob murder me and i'd b like thank u kween......

  92. S.... ....

    umpteenth time listening to this song and just realized how short it is u_u

  93. L.... B....

    A transition more awkward than my transition from middle school to college.

  94. I.... D....

    Sleigh Bells is dope. Derek Miller shreds. Alexis' voice is stellar. Also, Alexis is very very pretty.

  95. D.... ....
