Our first single to release since Brushed Gold in 2023, this single is our highest energy song to date. The beats are blast, the lyrics are cynical AF, and the breakdowns are BRUTAL.

lyrics

You don't know
How we're feeling
Somewhere between death and tired eyes
Coming close
Lost all meaning
But you gotta know
You gotta know

The window comes and it goes
To keep going at this point is surely a joke
And everybody knows
That you're too old

Said I'll give it up when I can't get up
Whoa oh oh
Set your sights low
Set your sights low
If I give it all up before I break down
Hollow me out
Already hate myself now

Dreading a corporate destiny
Don't need your bullshit epiphany
I don't
Said I don't
Get rid of all the self importance
You're dirt on the concrete
Impacting next to nothing at all

The years won't pay for themselves
Stop existing
Or hey, we could just go to hell!
And sit there feeling sorry for ourselves

Said I'll give it up when I can't get up
Whoa oh oh
Set your sights low
Set your sights low
If I give it all up before I break down
Hollow me out
I already hate myself now

Already hate myself now

I thought I knew all the effort it took
But success is primarily based on looks
And luck
Charisma
Talent and popularity
A full head of hair
And a gregarious personality

Hey!

Low
Set your sights low
Set your sights low
Set your sights low
I'll set my sights low
