Lyrics
Daddy was dumb, said that I’d be something special
Brought me up tough but I was a gentle human
Said that he loved each of my two million freckles
When I grew up was gonna be a superstar
I can't get a job so I live with my mum
I take her money but not quite enough
I sit in the car and I listen to static
She said I look fat but I look fantastic
Come back down to my knees
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Come back down to my knees
Lean back now, lean back and breathe
Come back down to my knees
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Come back down to my knees
Lean back now, lean back and breathe
I'm waking up, lost in boxes outside Tesco
Look like a bum sipping codeine Coca-Cola
Thought that I was northern Camden's own Flash Gordon
Sonic ray gun, gonna be a superstar
I can't get a job so I live with my mum
I take her money but not quite enough
I make my own fun in grandmama's basement
Said I look mad, she said I look wasted
Cut back down to my knees
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Cut back down to my knees
Lean back now, lean back and breathe
Cut back down to my knees
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Cut back down to my knees
Lean back now, lean back and breathe
Cut back down to my knees
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Cut back down to my knees
Lean back now, lean back and breathe
Cut back down to my knees
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Cut back down to my knees
Lean back now, lean back and breathe
Cut back down to my knees
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Cut back down to my knees
Lean back now, lean back and breathe
#GlassAnimals - Hudba
This is one of those songs that I constantly want to listen to but I try not to do that so I don't burn it out! Such an amazing song!
+erik colsla you can't burn it out. I tried.
It's true. I probably listen to Glass Animals daily. Never gets old.
pretty much, I have yet to find a time that it wasnt good for
this song still has yet to burn out on me
heard one of their new songs live at Red Rocks, looks like this album will be way more colorful and upbeat
man i wish they repeated "i look fantastic" more bc it sounds so sick
YES! exactly!
"She said I look fat but I look fantastic" is my favourite line in this song I love the way it sounds
Its such a iconic line!
@@IlTaolI I’m not
NO FR
"she said I look fat, but I look FANTASTIC"
my new life motto
am i late
potato tomato it’s never to late to love glass animals
It sounds like "she said I look fine, but I look fantastic" to me. Less funny, but it makes more sense in my opinion. That's what moms say.
He clearly says"fine".
Bigs Smokes he says fat lmao
this song made the plants in my room grow
shoyusha -maybe i should play this song at work lol
Soi'll be sitting here still tryna get the joke after 3 years
The song gave the plants “life itself”
@@yami_mami hey i wanted to say that lmao xdd
this made my fake plants grow
I bet this guy got so close to saying febreze at least once in the chrous
this is so fucking funny omg
I accidentally said it once LOL
Lolllll 😂
i forgot febreze existed
@@chickentender911 why did that make me laugh??
**body rolls at various speeds to the chorus of this song**
Not gonna lie tho, I kind of miss their old laid back stuff..
+RK724 go listen to it then🤗🤔🤗🤗🤔🤔🤔🤗
Lmao listen to Bollywood songs if this is your thing cx
i like to understand the music... though glass animals don't make it too easy do they :P
+Hazmidl3trik //- goooooteeeem
I am listening to this while walking on a random street and I'm half expecting everyone to break into a dance during the chorus
One day...
Well? Did they?
Be the change you want to see in the world!
Everyone replied 3 years later. Dang
And not just any dance, but a perfectly synchronized Bollywood musical number.
This is how to change and progress without losing absolutely all of the original style and essence.
lol, there is a lot of influence from 80's bollywood here. I would not call it original but very skillfully done
@@utkarshsingh-zl1wb i dont think thats what op meant, pretty sure by "original style" they meant the previous style of music glass animals had. not an "original" (as in new) style entirely
@@rrestoeboemi Lol I completely misread her comment. My bad haha. Although I do feel the new album is catered more towards mainstream audience since they have used way more pop melodies. Zeba was just so much darker and better in my opinion.
@@utkarshsingh-zl1wb Man I streamed both albums and barely found differences I suck at listening
not so much anymore :-(
while Zaba was more slipping into the jungle and losing yourself, this feels more like you're exploring the jungle and finding yourself
i feel you omg this is so accurate
I know exactly what you mean, but I can't explain why.
I totally agree!
This. Now this is what I'm expecting from 'How to Be A Human Being'.
i love u for this
The sound still feels absolutely tropical… the same jungle but in a different light. An abrupt progression, as the fire had been lit and the secret is now revealed: This is the music to which those creatures of the night from ’Zaba’ dance and chant and do all their wild and wyrd rituals.
They want to be humans.
+Edson Orozco Probably because Zaba was based with an African "Jungle sound" , while this sounds (And looks) more Mexican. New jungle, new light.
+Sleftnut I'm mexican and this doesn't look mexican at all, not a single bit. The sound is there, might be arguable but I can hear it too. Anyway this new jungle is marvelous!
I agree, well put.
+Edson Orozco its actually indian!
The instruments in this song are incredibly unique and fantastic, along with the sci-fi theme playing along with it! Also, "I can't get a job but I live with my mom" is a classic mood.
Yeahhh it kind of sounds like Indian music

But for serious, you know its my duty
@MistrzgierNaeus the danganronpa fandom is at it again
I was with my friend and he said ‘what’s you’re favorite song?’. I said ‘Life Itself’, and he was like, ‘what?’.
‘Life itself is a song,’ I said. Then he looked at me and became quiet.
‘Whoa, that’s kinda deep,’ he said.
😂
I love that lol.

WHY DO ALL OF THEIR SONGS HAVE A CERTAIN C L E A R AESTHETIC
This one is like a jungle aesthetic >A
Jungle Aesthetic

Jungle-sthetic

Aesthetic Jungle
if you like the jungle aesthetic you should listen to zaba by them, that's the whole album
@@erickskii assignment unclear; I now know every song they've ever made ♨️♨️ help
@@pastelfreckle7798 no
I don't know why it reminds me of MGMT-electric feel
From a musician's stand point, this is one of the most ingenious songs I have ever heard.
1:17 I’m saving this so I can listen to it on repeat
nice
Bless your kind soul
5 YEARS HOW US THIS SONG STILL SO GOOD, ITS LITERALLY AN ART PIECE OR MORE. I LITERALLY CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO IT. Since always and till now, is still my favourite Glass animals song, I just can't afford how good it is.
Glass Animals is where it's at! Such a unique style, I just can't get enough!!
i want them to have a world tour thoo
!! Yeah, I would absolutely go see them!
+GraffitiBee me 2, but why arent them AT LEAST as famous as justin bieber:(
faxxxxx
this song feels like summer in the best possible ways
you are my favorite type of person
@@waterfloweraudios36 mine too lets be all friiends
I think it feels like a parade of dancers in the summer holding fans in their hands and moving from one side of the trail/road to another in sync
I cried on a bench to this song today.
There’s an even sadder piano version that Glass Animals made czcams.com/video/2mjYYfRk-vg/video.html
mood
Are you okay *hugs*
me rn
Weird song to cry to but hey, I'd it for the aesthetic, am I right?
Something about this song is sort of empowering, I can totally see myself hula hooping to this, and, in fact, I think I might just go and do that now haha
Who doesn't hula hoop to this song???
I ALWAYS LOVE dancing to this song, its my favorite nowadays
+Ari Grande Lover yeah at first I wasn't super sure about this song but mannn has it grown on me! The beat is just so fun!
SAME HERE BUDDY!
I just recently starting hooping to all their music lol its so perfect
She says I look fat, but I look fantastic. Yesss
thought it was "fine" not fat... but idk
+Clever Metaphor It's fat, check the lyrics.
Cat where
Google it
do you believe everything you read on the internet?
Listening to this makes me feel like Im submerged in a pool and theres water surrounding my ears
That's what all their songs sound like tbh
Pools :)
It's the bass + effects that do that 😀
This isn’t a school essay just say you feel like you’re in a pool
Yeaasss!!
at first, when i just started soundcloud, i didnt like this song like pork soda and the other side of paradise, but now i realize, i missed out on some stuff. it has meaning and its abusloutly beautiful
OMG PERSEPHONE
I was told to listen to this if I was the honor roll burn out kid so Im here now :)
:0 you saw that tiktok too?
Yooo I saw it too
Honor roll burn out? Sounds familiar...
That literally describes me perfectly
Shoutout to that one person on TikTok that recommended this song to all the burnt out gifted kids with inferiority complexes because they didn't "exceed their full potential", wouldn't've found this song without you
YESS OMG
So true.. i came here because of them and now I’m obsessed
welcome to the party, we also got some bangers in ZABA and in this album
feel free to roam
OMG I FOUND THIS FROM THAT VIDEO TOO
Can someone send link to that tiktok? Hots too close to home
The sensation that this song generates, the music, the chorus, the rhythm, the harmony, the instrumental bridge, more of this is needed
Sounds like something that would play in the movie credits
OOOOOO YEAH
Omg ur right
so polished, so catchy. glass animals always exceeds expectations and puts out incredible music. you guys are an inspiration!
Love his voice
Should be "voice of his I love"
@@mikehunt9952 what
@@mikehunt9952 ok yoda
Their music makes me feel so nostalgic, it brings back memories of an old friend that introduced me to them. I miss him 😭
I've already choreographed an entire dance for this its fantastic!
+Jay Belcher Really? I want to see it... ;)
Hey it's Jay!
I've choreographed dances to nearly half their songs haha, i'm obsessed.
Post it! I'll sub
I wanna see it :)
This song's goddamn chorus. Ohhhhhhh it's sooooo gooood!
this is the song that got me hooked on glass animals in middle school, just graduated and i still can’t get enough
The ad before it started was the song itself. Awesome song!

This song literally describes life itself.
The piano outro is heavenly.
The overall vibe of this song is insane especially the chorus
This is my first impression of Glass Animals. I like what I'm hearing.
lmao the description
"it's never met people before, so play nice."
The intro >>>>>
Lyrics:
Daddy was dumb, said that I'd be something special
Brought me up tough but I was a gentle human
Said that he loved each of my two million freckles
When I grew up, was gonna be a superstar
I can't get a job so I live with my mom
I take her money but not quite enough
I sit in the car and I listen to static
She said I look fat but I look fantastic
Come back down to my knees
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Come back down to my knees
Be like them, lean back and breathe
Come back down to my knees
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Come back down to my knees
Be like them, lean back and breathe
I'm waking up, lost in boxes outside Tesco
Look like a bum sipping codeine Coca-Cola
Thought that I was northern Camden's own Flash Gordon
Sonic raygun, gonna be a superstar
I can't get a job so I live with my mom
I take her money but not quite enough
I make my own fun in grandmama's basement
Said I look mad, she said I look wasted
Come back down to my knees
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Come back down to my knees
Be like them, lean back and breathe
Come back down to my knees
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Come back down to my knees
Be like them, lean back and breathe
Come back down to my knees
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Come back down to my knees
Be like them, lean back and breathe
Come back down to my knees
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Come back down to my knees
Be like them, lean back and breathe
Come back down to my knees
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Come back down to my knees
Be like them, lean back and breathe
I thought it was “Lean back now” ?
It is.
*GOTTA GET THAT FEBREEZE*
This song is my exactly the feeling I get relapsing into mental illness. "gotta get back, gotta get free". the beat makes you feel like you're almost chasing something. relapse in a nutshell
its honestly iconic how a band can make sound into an aesthetic, bc thats what they do. amazing.
This song feels like a fever dream in the best way; iconic and sensational
goodness gracious, the tropical vibes are so dang cool
Crazy how many people found out about glass animals from a dnf fanfic on ao3 lmao they definitely deserve the attention! (Hello if you were here before that as well lol) i always find myself coming back to bangers like this
Come back down to my knees is my fav part this and rainbow factory are my two most fav songs now
Glass Animals have such a unique and chill vibe going on, it's just fricking amazing!
I wasn't sure about this at first but it really is growing.
same.
I love reading CZcams comments about my favorite bands and their songs....seeing how the music affects everyone so similarly but so different...makes me happy
This is so raw and powerful. I love the final part, so awesome!
Peanut Butter vibing out right now...
I listened to glass animals before the heat waves..thing.. (hello if ur here from that).. even tho they are getting more popular I think they aren't talked about enough.. anyone else?
Yup, happily been here since ZABA. Their music and aesthetic speaks to me more than any other band, and I'm glad that they have a great community of fans who are similarly drawn to them. I want them to be as successful as *they* want to be and not just what others want them to be. Creating in such an organic and not manufactured way is one of the reasons they're so special and I hope that doesn't change.
@@ChuffedLemon I was also here since zaba : ) I would love to see more bands with more organic and bands with a great vibe in general. They are also the most sustained band and fanbase I have seen, it's incredible . Again I would really like to see more bands like themselves so I wish you the most of luck for the future.
My favorite is space ghost coast to coast. The song is weird and the video is even weirder and I love it!
This jungle ass beat hits so hard
The background Sounds like a Bollywood song😁
are you the CZcams that likes original "dongs" from the neighborhood?
Lexus Walterscheid um...yes...i mean i once accidentally wrote dong instead of song for their single daddy issues.is that what u mean?
+Sithara Sivaji yes! I cannot tell you how long I laughed at that comment!
Exactly what I thought!!!!
YOU ARE SUPER FUNNY. I MEAN ONE PERSON SAID IT SOUNDED INDIAN AND YOU ALL JUMPED ON IT AND MADE YOUR OWN RIPPED OFF FUNNY SEMI ORIGINAL COMMENTS. HAHHAHA YOU ARE AWESOME.
This song goes so effing hard
best song from the album imo
I like the drums for this song, the tribal sound along with the electronics makes it sound awesome.
its kinda more indian than tribal
This is giving me life itself
the rhythm of this song is so damn amazing.
this was 2016 but it sounds brand new.
My best friend said this song reminded him of me
I take that as a major compliment oml
This song needs more love imo
I love the ascending electronic stuff happening in the chorus, favorite part!
0:00 - 4:21 = walk like a badass
4:21 - 4:42 = cry in fetal position
I never get tired of this song. Even if I don't listen to it for a while, I always come back and get addicted to it again
this was the song that introduced me to glass animals back in 2018! i'm so happy to see them now dominating the charts and slowly becoming known in the mainstream music scene with glass animals! keep going!
David & his man sent me here.
THIS SLAPS SO HARD
This song is for my like a fresh new start after ending a toxic friendship
Been waiting for these guys to release a new album. I had Zaba on repeat for months
that chorus is just OH MY GOD
i swear every single glass animals comment section has someone complaining about how every song is better than heatwaves. Like. Enjoy their other songs without constantly comparing it.
some people think it's a lot louder and messier than Zaba, and at first i thought the same, but after second listening it's definitely growing on me... it's not the same as Zaba but still has that same vibe. Can't wait for the album!!!
This song makes me love music more than ever.
listening to this during a car ride and just spacing out is acc insane
I thought i was a piece of shit and this song helped me feel better.
Finally new glass animals music! Been waiting on a new album for a minute!
+MH DOOM I swear you pop up in every indie music comment section
llamapie24 I'm a travellin man... Moving through places space and time.
+zairuku ayye!!!! My boy for life!
I know that 99% won't do this... But my channel is fully of funny, sexy, and creative vine compilations. Check out my channel for once I will prove to u that I worth it......
did someone mention the mighty boosh
i remember hearing this for the first time and it was instantly my favorite song, ever. even after all these years, it still retains that title. a classic🥂
That 80's bollywood beat though!
Saw them live at Standford Uni amd this song hit so hard. It crazy how good they are live.
Alright, i was waiting for this. This is so good. You guys changed your style but kept the Glass Animals vibes. Love you guys, looking forward to see you again on live. You guys rock!
Sippin codeine coca cola
This is my fav song from these guys
this song feels like the theme of the omen about something bad that is about to happen idk if i explain myself
The best song I've ever listened to. Change my mind.
Waterfalls coming out your mouth
She said I look fat *but I look FANTASTIC*
Perfection. On repeat indefinitely.
ahhh yeah new song to play on repeat ♥
Im still on Black Mambo. Lol.
An absolute blast of fun
this is realy chilling for whatever i do...studying,homework,playing,speed runs,art...realy nice
Saw this on my feed and my heart skipped a beat! My heart can a take a lesson or two about beats from these guys.
Smoothly done!
This is a vaporwave jungle, it's absolute trippy in the best way
Zaba is my all time favorite album. I have a feeling that this will be a great one, too.
Me too!
This would play over an opening montage to a movie in like one long take
The feeling this song gives me is like any other. I'm going to be listing to this for the rest of my life, it's just too perfect.
ok but this song has such a sexy vibe, you can't deny it
I am freaking ouuutttttt this is so fuckin good
