Atmosphere - Virgo Lyrics






I pledge allegiance to myself
Food, shelter, and health
Let me find a beach full of seashells to sell
Put your oxygen mask on first before you offer me help
I've got receipts made of scar tissue
Got the vision of somebody going fishing in the dark
When I start up the motor, it still turns over
But nowadays, a little bit slower
Never been afraid of getting older
I'm much more nervous about these public servants
Kill the lights and shut the curtains
You ain't a real lion if you love the circus
Looking at myself like "Whats the purpose?"
It's when I started to hallucinate
Trying to touch the surface and re-cooperate
You should've seen the look on my face when I was losing my faith
Y'all got me feeling hesitation, embarrassment
I might be the last generation of grandparents
I know that I've been fortunate for all the opportunities
Disproportionately disappointed in the human beings
I get it, we're specs of dust, at the bus stop busking for extra crust
Like fuck it, you can sacrifice me to the weather
If you promise that you'll let my songs live forever

You looking for a bag of tricks
But my love is like a stack of bricks
Cobblestones and untreated lumber
I'm a father of fists, strength, and numbers
And when they come for my box of dreams
I'm a finally depart from this toxic scene
No posturing, just lots of self esteem
Got you feeling like the popular queen
This ain't magic, this is fabric
And it's the type that never requires patches
And it's the fire that illustrates with ashes
It's our life, it's nothing we can't manage
Lower the arrow and take a breath
I won't waste ammo aiming at the angel of death
I might have already left, but they hear me still
With my pale knuckle grip on this steering wheel

    I just took a ride on an Amtrak train for the first time and I felt like I was Slug in this music video 😎

  13. S.... ....

    2020 anyone?

  14. R.... A....

    I was born on September 6th 1991. I share the same birth date with Ant and it’s only one day away with slug. This lyric is nothing but a resonance to any virgo who maybe born around the date. I don’t know how much this song means to me but it’s just magically accurate. The way they film the music video on the train. It’s just personal relationship that I find it very personal to me as one who enjoy much taking a train. It’s just magic in every way. And it must be there is a reason and the secret in the universe that allows this to happen. Thank you Atmospere. Rintang Azhar from Jakarta, Indonesia.

  15. J.... L....

    Been listening to Slug and Ant since I was a kid. Now im 30 & a father, still listening to you & feeling the music more and more each time i hear it. Amazing to see the changes over the last 20'od years. I absolutely love this track and put it on any time Im in an existential slump and need to remind myself it's all gonna be ok. I gotta keep on going for my son. Thanks Slug/Ant, I really appreciate you guys & your music.

  30. M.... C....

    Welcome to our lives the future of existence thru knowledge discovered thru pain n pure mental capacity only known to one by the suffering and drive to find purpose in suffering... nothing is by coincidence we all must read the circumstances to get the starting point for the race.

  31. S.... M....

    I loooooove the starting message ...you should have seen the look in my face when I was loosing it👌👌👌🙏🏾😻💦💦

  32. v.... a....

    Aug 27 1992 thank you so me !!

  33. D.... ....

    I'm calling it. When it comes to greatest to ever do it, musicians, artist, rappers, lyricists, MCs, DJs, producers, live band, studio band, albums, mix tapes, EPs, LPs, downbeats, upbeats, drum beats, heart beats, January on Lake Street, 3-peats, work sheets, time sheets, & cheat sheets PLUS those fucking beats. Nobody else can compete. The defeat is complete Atmosphere is elite.

    D.... ....

    That was fun.

    D.... ....

    Love it

  34. Z.... x....

    Deep deep thoughts.

  35. i.... ....

    there should be an atmosphere help group.. imagine you would walk in and there would be this playing in the background and all the real people helping the real people... atmo connect

  36. R.... T....

    Are there any artists similar in this style? or any other atmosphere songs?

  37. a.... s....

    I've heard this a million times and just now caught the line, "and it's the fire that illustrates with ashes..."
    I think Keirkagaard said it better than I ever could when he said, "life can only be understood backwards" (roughly speaking).

  38. J.... U....

    this is so nice :,)

  39. F.... A....

    God this track fucking destroys me. What a legend..

  40. W.... M....

    Easily one of my favorite songs by atmosphere. He can tear a broken conglomerate of thoughts into a beautiful mosaic of emotions.

  41. J.... M....

    Yo you are my si

  42. c.... k....

    Man I've listened to this song a thousand times and I just noticed the end where he flips out all the king of hearts..chills man. Chills

  54. R.... S....

    His voice... the organ... the vibe... I think Atmosphere is one of the best musicians ever.

  83. D.... D....

    Appreciate you atmosphere

  84. R.... H....

    Slugo for President. Been your greatest advocate scene I can remember. Can't wait for the show in Denver in September. Its only an 8 hour drive.
    All i got to say is There's no need to sacrifice you to the weather cause as long as i breath air your songs will live for eternity or better! My son is already bumpin Slug more than ever, i can guarantee the grandson, the son of my son will make sure Atmosphere keeps the losers winning forever. Some Old man named Ham gave me tickets to the Colorado Jam. Sept 20 in the Mission with an encore the 21st. 2 shows me and Arthur will definitely not be missing. Much love to all the Ugly Gods of amazing underground Slug, Ant, Mr. Dibbs,Musab, DJ Abilities, Spawn and the one and only Eyedea. May your fans eyes keep your vision alive forever, and keep Atmosphere albums coming until all our souls are freestylen at the pearly gates together..That or the other, blasting lyrical fires making hell hotter the Devil itself could conspire!! Muahahahahahahah These are my thoughts but most words where spoken by the Slug and the rest of the only thing i can call my Atmospheric Drug. Now let the haters hate!! Let the comments seal the fate of the weak and out of date. Trolls are sure to come to hate on what i've said but i hope they comment on and keep this beast called freedom well fed. Music keeps this planet great but remember....
    Only the sun really determines the mighty Atmospheres Fate!!

  85. J.... a....

    Does anyone know why his deck of cards had all the same card ?

    J.... a....

    Magic.
    Or playing the same card because he doesn't change. True to himself.

  86. R.... C....

    Same Birthday, September 7th, God Loves Us , Virgo Strong!

  87. A.... S....

    Atmosphere is the truth

  88. S.... G....
