Highly Suspect Let the Angst Out With New Song ‘Canals’
Feeling a little frustrated at the world? Then Highly Suspect have a little something to fit the mood today. Ahead of their new album, MCID, the band has released an angsty new anthem titled "Canals."
Fittingly, the audio player for the new song features a brightly burning torch with the flame dancing along to the music. In the new track, singer Johnny Stevens belts with attitude, "It feels like someone took a crack pipe / Lit it with a torch light / And threw it on a gas line / Yeah, and there is fire everywhere," explaining his general overall ready to explode mood. Check out the lyrics in full below.
Bitch you look so damn freaked
You can’t eat, you can’t sleep, you can’t speak
You wanna scream “fuck the police” but the words are gettin stuck behind your teeth
Yeah i’m an outlaw baby with a southpaw viewLike how can you stomach the shit that they do,
Just ask Pussy Riot what those girls went throughAnd It feels like someone took a crack pipe
Lit it with a torch light
And threw it on a gas line
Yeah and there is fire everywhereWatch what they’re doing to you
So tonight I’m gonna travel to a past life
And take out all the bad guys and signal with a flashlight
Like catch me if you dareI don’t fucking care
If you fucking care
No one’s gonna live forever so you better be prepared
I still want a love, love with my whole heart
Even though the world is slowly tearing me apartDo you feel better now
Have you settled up your score
Cause everything looks so strange
But I know nothing has changed
Since the last time I asked you “what are we fighting for?”
It feels like someone took a crack pipe
Lit it with a torch light
And threw it on a gas line
Like there is fire in the air
It’s everywhere now
So tonight I’m gonna travel to a past life
And murder all the bad guys and signal with a flashlight
Like catch me if you dareI don’t fucking care
If you fucking care
Cause I’m gonna live forever so you better be prepared
I still want a love, love with all my heart
Even though the world is slowly tearing us apart
Tearing us apart
Basi aende, Nakupenda wewe, Nakupenda wewe basi aende
(I still love you)
(I love you x2)
(Let me go x2)I don’t fucking care
If you fucking care
Cause I’m gonna do whatever while you sit around and stare
But I can stick around
For a little while
Until you fall asleep
That’s when I’ll disappear
Off into the night
But not where I belong
On my BMX bike, pretending nothing’s wrong
