Doomscroller lyrics:

Lining up all the numbers under the names
Notify the next of kin of the circumstances
Was it an act of god or an accident
An act of god or an accident
Or a consequence of a lower profile
Salt of the earth underpaid to serve you
Salt of the earth underpaid to serve
and teach your children
Salt of the earth underpaid to serve
and scrub the toilet
Salt of the earth underpaid to serve
and scrub the toilet
Ruling classes trickle piss
From champagne glasses
That’s just how the evening passes
For a true doomscroller
And I’m a true doomscroller
I cant seem to shut it down
Until the worst is over
And it’s never over

Arrogance of a coward hostile
Scum of the earth overpaid to rob you
Scum of the earth overpaid to rob
and mock resistance
Scum of the earth overpaid to rob
Anonymously from a distance
Scum of the earth overpaid to rob Anonymously
Ruling classes trickle piss
From champagne glasses
History on repeat relapses
For a true doomscroller

Dog whistle links to a torch song
Torch song links to a statue burning
Moon landing links to Q Anon
Rabbit in a deep hole keep on dancing

Don’t give up yet
Don’t give up yet
Don’t give up yet
Don’t give up now

Lining up all the numbers under the names
Boy, I’m a true doomscroller
I’m a true doomscroller
I can’t seem to shut it down
Until the worst is over
And it’s never over

Don’t give up yet
Don’t give up yet
Don’t give up yet
Don’t give up now

Take something for the pain
Not something to conceal it
More like a magnification mirror full-size
Inner echo reflecting solace revived

Whatever you do
Either way we’re gonna love you
Never mattered
Either way we’re gonna love you
Whatever you do
Either way we’re gonna love you
Never mattered
How many or how much more
You’ve been through

Take this for the heartache
Not some cure to negate it
More like a magnification mirror full-size
Inner reverberation happens outside
Whatever you do
Either way we’re gonna love you
Never mattered
Either way we’re gonna love you
Whatever you do
Either way we’re gonna love you
Never mattered
How many or how much more
You’ve been through
Come back to yourself from the battle

Written by Emily Haines / James Shaw / Liam O’Neil

Metric official bio:

The vinyl artwork for Metric's new album, Formentera, includes a motto that sums up the past few years: This Is What Happened. It’s an understatement that manages to say everything.

Even real places become imaginary when they are so far out of reach. Named for an idyllic island near Ibiza off the coast of Spain, Formentera is a place that, for Metric, only existed on a page in a “dream destinations” travel book that lay open on a desk in the new recording studio that guitarist Jimmy Shaw built in 2020, in a rural hamlet north of Toronto. This is the setting where the band’s eighth album took shape.

Metric’s sound is both genre-defying and genre-defining. Emily Haines, Jimmy Shaw, bassist Joshua Winstead and drummer Joules Scott Key started playing together in NYC in 2001. They are just getting started.
