Me playing Burnout revenge and making drift mpves with a broken car and smiling a lot because of this awesome music.❤
It looks like he’s being followed around by depression and anxiety, which often go together. He tries to live his normal life, but the stupid things done out of depression and anxiety make him annoyed and they add up. He’s the only thing in the way of his own escape. He tries to escape but then goes back home and falls asleep with them again, the unsuccessful escape adding to the desperation.
No thats the drummer and the other guy.
@superads91 why can’t it be open to interpretation? Everything is subjective
O
@@Heavilybased it can but also interesting to know what the writer intended, saying that sometimes I've misheard a lyric that changed the whole meaning of a song then was disappointed later when I found out lol
Looks like they need to lighten up a bit. They don't look like much fun
This album had some great lyrics and powerful instrumentals. It really is one of the most underrated albums ever made in my opinion. It's definitely something that will endure the ages, for me atleast.
Thomas Patrick Parker there playing the album in full this year for the 10th anniversary get yourself down to one of the gigs will be epic
I agree with you mate
@@hamer_shark878 I missed that tour even though they played near me, will never forgive myself lol
Me too
@@hamer_shark878 saw this comment 5 years too late. Maybe I'll catch the 20 year tour
I remember me as a weird and confused 14 years old boy being hypnotised by this music video and this song. Now that I'm almost 29 (and I'm still weird and confused) I feel like that was a really magic moment of my life, rock and alternative songs, the beautiful music of MTV and the incredibile desire to fully live my life. I'm in quarantine right now (I live in the North of Italy) I think about my life all the time. I don't know if I'm happy or not, but I certantly know that music was and still is the best part of my entire life. Davide.
same age
Same here!
I’m about to turn 26 but honestly understanding wasn’t much of an objective until I came back to this song randomly and yeah it always had a story to tell
Fun fact about the video: directed by The Lonely Island's Akiva Schaffer, before they did the SNL Digital Shorts.
Hope you're better now :)
Saluti dalle Marche, 26
Verse 1]
Making my escape
Making my escape
Tell myself that everything's in shape
Everything's in shape
But me
How long can this take?
How long can this take?
Tell myself that everything is great
Everything is great
Well, how am I doin'?
[Chorus]
I got a great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
I got a great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
While everything is adding up, up, up
Everything is adding up, up, up
[Verse 2]
Breaking both my hands
Breaking both my hands
Telling me to take it like a man
Take it like a man
I can't
I don't understand
I don't understand
Please repeat whatever you just said
Nothing's making sense
Well, how am I doin'?
[Chorus]
I got a great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
I got a great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
While everything is adding up, up, up
Everything is adding up, up, up
[Verse 3]
They're breaking both my hands
They're breaking both my hands
They're telling me to take it like a man
Take it like a man
Well fuck that
I don't understand
Said I don't understand
Said please repeat whatever you just said
'Cause nothing's making sense
Well, how am I doin'?
[Chorus]
I got a great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
I got a great idea
I'm gonna wait right here
While everything is adding up, up, up
Everything is adding up, up, up
We need a critical reappraisal of WAS in 2022. This album has aged so much better than most of their contemporaries
Truly. I always prized it as one of the best albums of the year above the “biggest” bands. Had it on repeat. Such a good concert tour too. Low key lots of banter indie venues…I felt so lucky to see them in Brooklyn bc they are from NYC and were so psyched to be there.
Burnout Revenge
That game... so good!
I've only ever played burnout takedown :(
Takedown is a good game too !
i got my psp and i just played with this song the burnout revenge, i totally luv that game
Soundtrack 😙
CRASHED!
AFTERTOUCH TAKEDOWN!
TAKEDOWN AVENGED!
haha burnout used to get me so hyped, the music is perfect
they will never know what this song meant to me when I 13
Let me guess, Burnout?
so true
They will if you tell them 🤷🏻♂️
Hahahahahaha
this song was a banger to do some takedowns on Burnout Legends back in the days
This song is my anthem. its been stuck in my head for a long time
Yeah me too and everytime I hear this it reminds me of compact type 1
I don't understand why they don't have as much support if their songs are very good
I don’t think I can explain how long I have been searching for this song and the lengths I have gone to, easily say 7 years
Damn
Happy you finally found it
I WAS IN THE SAME BOAT. I heard it at a buddy's house on guitar hero then never again for a decade plus. But the sound was caught in my head until today. Painfully underrated
good tune for racking up that takedown counter
I found and listened to this song in late 2010, it was among my favorite study music playlist in my freshman year of college. Now it's 2017. Man, how time flies.
2022 is so sad and polarized
Try 2023 bro
Reading this in 24
Omdz this song always helped me win on Legends
same
The chorus would hit right when I'd get that big ass drift on the red bridge allowing me to overtake the other car
The amount of nostalgia and happiness this song gives me is insane miss playing Burnout legends.
Still an absolutely great three piece band. Such a full sound. Such good choruses
Since no one else has seemed to say if, Shawn White snowboarding on the wii is what helped me find this song
I wish I was three people. There'll be someone to talk to.
+iM3GTR no you don't
Sven Svensson But I'm so lonely...
are you comfortable being lonely?
Sven Svensson I'm not really. It was an unfunny joke comment.
Good
So many memories with this album. Timeless...
Haven't listened to this in years I saw a vids of a dog on Facebook trying to break through the gate it was entitled the great escape and I randomly think of this video
Yeah that's angels, ancestors and spirit guides all at work mate X
Back in 2008 I remember overhearing a student trying to impress some girls with his guitar. He was playing the exact tune from the start of this track and trying to somehow pass it off as his creation he'd just written (they clearly didn't know the song....) so I had to introduce them all to this gem. I'm sure he was grateful I prevented his copyright infringement case before it began :)
Years later and this is still a banger.
Most underrated band of all time
burnout legends... memories...
And takedown & revenge
I remember the original MV/visuals. Y’all were in a wooded park (I think) and suddenly dashed off at different paces. I distinctly recall one band member running with a cup of water as he struggled not spill it. Literally the first video I ever watched on CZcams as a kid. It’s a core memory❤
Excellent song wicked vid, love the dancing bit, Burnout rocks.
I HAVE to thank the Burnout games for showing me this legendary group.
You have to thank to Legends and Revenge
Burnout!!!
Everytime I hear this it always reminds me of compact type 1
it is 9 pm. January 2024. i'm in the kitchen looking for snacks and this song plays in my head. haven't listened to it in a while and it's like a call from an old friend.
essa música fez parte da minha infância
I was today years old when I realised akiva Schaffer directed this
Also this is a banger in burnout revenge
This was one of my favorite songs of my childhood.
I never knew how relatable this song truly is until I became a young adult.
Burnout Revenge was the fuel to my childhood!
im here because i know good music
yeah me too
+Lovely Mafs samee
hehe lol
I'm here cos if you hear this in an indie club you can kiss a girl
And you learned it from burnout revenge right? ;)
This band is definitely under appreciated
I spent over a decade with the tune of this song floating around in my head with no way to look it up since I'd forgotten the lyrics. I finally remembered some lyrics and found a match, and my heart is aching. This song had me in a trance when I'd first heard it and is by far the worst earworm I've ever had. Hearing it again brought back the same somber but excited feeling I'd had the first time i heard it forever ago
This band and this song just made my summer.
Who in 2019?? 🗣️
yes
BURNOUT lol ..the memories
The Lonely Islands directed this video. Wait wasn't this clip on thelonelyislands channel before?
That's how I found WAS, lonelyisland.
Found some great videos through The Lonely Island original website...Nobody Move, Nobody Gets Hurt by We Are Scientists and Eagles of Death Metal too! EODM's best video is known by it's catchphrase: "The boy's bad news!" Song is featured in a lot of soundtracks but the music video features a guitar that plays people's clothes off, Dave Grohl and Jack Black. I'm not sure if Lonely Island directed that vid...but worth checking out!
Yup. Honestly introducing me to this album is my favorite thing The Lonely Island ever did, not to discount how great they are.
Heard this song in 2008 I think. It's taken me all that time to find it again!
I've been listening to the under the sea version for so long that this version feels foreign now
do u like that version more?
This is a magnificent tune about modern times depression and how everybody starts to notice you're not okay, but the only thing you can do is wait a little more...
Sick ass dance moves my man
burnout ps2 has the best music ever
now that's a clever mate
Am I only in 2021 still heard this song?
One of the first songs I ever learned to play all the way through.
Love Michael's face at 2:15
i'm pretty sure hes saying "but me" because the phrase before that is "everythings in shape everythings in shape BUT ME"
Love this band. They are soooo un-appreciated.
MTV's Discover and Download brought me here!
RIP middle school years!
I haven't heard this song in 2 yrs, but I still know it by heart:)
I still come back to this Song. Just love it. And i will be back very soon again. Thank you guys for this amazing Song.
Ahhh the old memories about burnout legends
Late noughties. Best time ever in history of time. Like if agree...
Remember when they were on TV?
Damn -- those were good times that I wasn't wise enough to appreciate.
That sound like uk.
Yeah, they was popular in UK indie scene But he's got a full on American accent
Entertaining video-and the song stands the test of time. Still got a great hook, danceable, sing along hook, fantastic concept lyrically and visually. Also fantastic in live performances!
burnout takedown!!!🔥
burnout legends
+Rashad Holmes burnout revenge
+Rashad Holmes the weirdest thing is that after playing Burnout on PSP I managed to visit their concert in Moscow quite by chance - they were supporting M.U.S.E. Resistance tour
Psp burnout
Burnout revenged
:,)
The Strokes and We Are Scientists are the best indie bands that ever came out from America
agreed artic monkeys and dioyy aslo dude!!
So much memories of Burnout Legends for me. I remember that I was playing it on PlayStation Portable ! (PSP)
Love this song, Burnout Revenge.
Good job
good song!
finally, had the rhythm to this song stuck in my head for a week
Saw them yesterday on MUSE's warm up - They're really great performers I must say!
Burnout !
i love this song! thank you lonely island for getting me here xoxo
great tune and top comments are brilliant
I had their CD! 😭
Burnout Legends :D :D :D
burnout legendsssssssssssssssss
Franz Ferdinand and We Are Scientists = awesome
I still hv this cd.
fun fact: This video was directed by Akiva Schaffer, from the lonely island
Yes it was, Burnout Legends I believe is the game you're referring to.
I accidentally clicked on the video and now i love the song.
Haha same
I love burnout Legends
the singer reminds me of brett from FotC. awesome song.
That frontman stares at the camera more than Eve Lawrence.
Fuck this song is still so good.
god ive missed this song, i havent heard it in a long time.
great muzik
Nothing was more fun than drifting into a boost to this song!
We Are Scientists have most funniest clips
I have nothing to say about this song except that it is amazing.
I've never played burnout just here cuz of my taste in music
Well is knowing this song from burnout bad? People are just here because they like the song, doesn't matter if they are here from burnout or any other reason.
I remember this one time when I wasnt playing burnout and I found this somg on my own. Good times :)
Keith Murray in the shower = perfection. I absolutely love this band!
Esta canción la conocí en Burnaout y me gustó. Pero no note que al final del video el que canta estaba llorando 😢, dios no creí que la depresión fuera así.
Thats exactly where I remember this from, best burnout ever
5 people must be deaf to the sound of awesomeness.
Still a tune!
that dance seen was the best.
I think its saying that some of us have too much going on in our lives and we need to just get away from it all sometimes, or it'll run our lives.
Burnoooouuuuuttttttt legeeeeeeeendssss i need to return to the 2007
love
