WHY? - Proactive Evolution Lyrics
Proactive Evolution...
I'd be white, weak and blind
The opposite of oxen
Feeling for an exit with
Of a tiny bonsai birch
Bark falling off in strips
Leaving nude wood, white
So bright in raw scar-glow
Like a fresco angel, except
Starved and deranged though
And for an exit, trying
Through blindness and time
If I wasn't when I am
I'm on fire
And I'm on
Right now
Proactive evolution...
I'd be drying up, nearly bone
Alone in the lack
Veins slack as empty hose
Stumbling towards a need
Too undefined to feed-
The negative of the silhouette
Of a dock crane backlit at sunset
Gasping for exit through unknown air
If I wasn't when I am
But I'm on
I'm on fire
And I'm on
Right now
To reveal a detour sign
Now I'm on
I'm on fire
And I'm on
Right now
Proactive evolution...

WHY? Proactive Evolution Comments
Doe anyone under 50 know how to play guitar?
Does anyone over 50 not place so much emphasis on ONE instrument
A nice treat for the eyes and ears.
The most hipster shit I've ever heard, but it's really good anyway.
Best song on the album IMO. One of my favorite Why songs ever. The groove is so great.
um, ya this video is gold mine
Oh my heart and head as one
I like the production on this song
@ColoredSpaces
this song was a beauty in my opinion: I think that _This Ole King_ alongside this song are two masterfully crafted pieces of emotive instrumentation and Yoni's lovely brand of wordplay accentuated by his low and expertly utilised 'drawl' of a tone.
I just received the album, and I'm going to take a walk, tap in at high volume, and let Yoni play me off my feet and permeate my mind, as _Alopecia_ did, and I trust this will too, and relive that wonderful sensation of feeling lifted and grounded at once.
nyc show anyone?
Nice. Gothic Theater in D town. That will be an awesome experience.
I've lost respect for people who don't like WHY?
Rich What do you consider "older stuff?" Like Alopecia or basement tape shit?
this is good sampling material
I love this song so much! The lyrics are so good!
if someone could make the "and I'm on fire and I'm on right now" clip a gif... I'd be eternally happy
I met them in 2013 in Sioux Falls. Just before our big blizzard. It was an epic journey with good friends. I hope to make another journey to see them again.
._. I'm entangled in this
This is so good... and gets a little better with each listen! Love the new WHY? sound.
just bought my tickets for the nyc tour date :DDDDD
This crew really knows what they are doing. It's totally them and has a pop sensability(sp?) Doug is such an awesome person. these people deserve some mainstream recognition.
MORE... VUEWS
Can't wait!
THIS is SHITE .
Well, FogFarty, I dig it. You should go thumbs up some CCR.
This song is so good! I might have to say its my new favorite Why? song, ok maybe not my favorite when i look back on their discography, but Im really digging this track!
now this is what i call hipster 93
So yeah Mumps etc was just a misstep. I'm so relieved.
People need to chill about that, Mumps was good
i agree
Jesus Christ dude, Mumps is arguably their strongest.
Mumps is their best album.
Fuck you
A new vibe from WHY? One of the catchiest songs they've ever put out. Excited for the record
