Superchunk - Erasure Lyrics






And now it's night
But I've seen our silhouette fade
And weaken to grey
We used to be sharp against the light
Our empathy weaponized
Our history bleaching out during the day

What you're after, what you're after
Erasure
Erasure

But we're the weeds
And you need a path now clear for you
A single golden tear for you won't fall
As if that's all we have to leave
To bleed for the blank you want to fill
The haunt you want to kill won't die
Can't you see?

What you're after, what you're after
Erasure
Erasure

Hate so graceless and so cavalier
We don't just disappear
Shifting shapes you're just an auctioneer
But we're still here

What you're after, what you're after
Erasure
Erasure

  4. R.... S....

    Too cool that they are all Trump fans...everyone should get their Trump fix on!!! Woo hoo!!! Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

  5. A.... ....

    What is it with liberals and crying about Trump? So your dreams of destroying white America goes on hold for 8 years, you still got your precious abortions, and social media echo chambers.

  6. E.... C....

    The older they get the better they sound.

  7. B.... A....

    fuck trump, hail superchunk!

  8. s.... ....

    This is a great song, but I initially thought this was about the seminal 80s British synth-pop group.

  9. J.... L....

    Hello chunkin' punk fans! Please take a minute to read my mostly-positive review of What A Time To Be Alive at Radical Beat Writing. Thanks :)

    "What a Time to Be Alive has no time for ballads because when variety calls it dips the other way towards brevity. The two-word average and “on the tin” appearance of many of the titles in the tracklisting looks like an old hardcore one: super chunks you might say. Lost My Brain with its feedback intro and barely absent chorus, and Cloud of Hate’s no-nonsense dismissal are the most clear examples of this sugar-sprinkled hardcore sound, but the pacy Reagan Youth spells out the intention before you even listen to the record. “Reagan Youth taught you how to feel/Reagan Youth showed you what was real/But to tell the truth, there was more than one Reagan Youth” sings McCaughan. A touching placeholder for the Dave Rubinstein tribute album that Paul Cripple has been promising for years, perhaps Superchunk are saying we’re all still children of that defining time, with current dunderheads created via the inbred lovechild of microwaved Reagan-era social conservatism and dissatisfaction with the poverty-breeding “globalist” policies of nonstop neoliberalism.

    love Superchunky...from Brazil

  11. S.... P....

    Great song, Great Vid, LOVE Superchunk!! Making the protest rock album we need right now!!

    S.... P....

    I lost or traded in or sold the car with the combination Superchunk David Gilhooly mash up bumper sticker but now have a magic silver box thru which I pretend I can see and hear Superchunk more recently than Bottom of Hill with baby in arms

  12. B.... B....

    was that Steve Turner?

    B.... B....

    You're right. It's super sexy and ruggedly handsome Steve Turner as the psychiatrist! My #1 indie rock crush.

  13. C.... E....

    This is how music should sound!

  14. B.... S....

    Do Reagan Youth next!

  15. A.... N....

    Amazing song cool video and waxahatchee lays down incredible backing vocals on this, I know I criticize her for her collaboration with Kevin Moronby but I'll give her all the credit on this one her backing vocals bring a total new life to the song she just needs to stick to working with legitimate and talented artists like superchunk and avoid working with that no talent wannabe morby dickhead. Long live superchunk if you get a chance to see them live do as they are incredible

  16. B.... A....

    empathy ...

  17. A.... H....

    I, for one, am glad to have recourse to tight, engaging tunes that let me feel a little less crazy in the era of creeping authoritarianism and conservative hypocrisy.

    A.... H....

    Liberal hypocrisies like killing babies but whining about protecting illegal children who were brought to the border by THEIR parents?

  18. G.... L....

    What a great song and great video! Dig touring bassist Jason Narducy's cameo at :53

  19. e.... ....

    Yeah! Good to see Laura pogo a bit! Favorite song on WATTBA.

  20. k.... ....

    So liberal musicians don't like Trump? What a surprise. Someone's trying to impress their yoga instructor I guess.

    k.... ....

    Indo Bule thanks for stating the obvious while ignoring a thing called scale in the process. He has earned the criticism he is getting and thankfully we live in a country where we are free to do so...hell, many Republicans spent 8 years complaining about Obama and his administration despite the fact that he had a scandal free presidency. It's also funny when somebody complains about whining about something as important as politics by whining about the content of a music video or the lyrics of a track. I think somebody is kind of spoiled living down under.

    k.... ....

    All right politics aside you have to agree this is such a amazing song, the chorus with Mac and waxahatchee singing together is so unbelievably incredible I just can't stop listening to it. Seriously it is one of the greatest vocal duets I have ever heard go listen to it now and I dare you to disagree

    k.... ....

    Sheesh, I was joking. I figured all the amateur Greg Gutfelds were going to come out of the woodwork anyway so I'd go ahead and get it started. I was a Sanders supporting communist who hates America the whole time!

    k.... ....

    I see nothing wrong with that last statement. Supported Sanders? A communist? Hates America (presumably capitalism too)? Shit, conrad, I figured you were from Charleston. My bad.

  21. G.... ....

    this video pretty much sums up what it's like living in 2018

    G.... ....

    @Abolish Authority - Fuck you and your family.

    G.... ....

    Yeah a bunch of lame white guilt queers crying about Trump.

    G.... ....

    Writing songs about Trump and crying about him everday for three years is not ignoring politicians lol

    G.... ....

    @Anti-Antifa you don't even know this band there are variety of topics in their songs of nostalgia etc...you may never understand the best most underrated band in history.You have a small mind when you allow your over political life run you kiddo.You need that erasure lol...you still don't get it this is sarcastic about political overdoness this song is about you really lol..

    G.... ....

    First I like old superchunk and have for a long time. Second this is not sarcasm. Macs stupid ass was quoted in in article that some days he wants to attack people if he sees a MAGA hat, so that means physically attacking people over their opinion. But of course liberal men are pussies and can stick to fantasies about what they want to do.

  22. M.... W....

    The Egrem Clinic. I see what you did there. ;-)

  23. J.... B....

    Rainy Monday......and a new Superchunk video to brighten my day! Glad to see the band I've loved for decades is still making great music.

  24. A.... K....

    Perfeito caras, venham para o Brasil! 😊

  25. M.... K....

    Still not good.
