Basement - Covet Lyrics






When I'm with you
I don't want to be with you

White hair
And a hopeful smile
Your inside
Is on your outside
I need
A pleasant surprise

Good heart and desire to please
I want a fatal disease

With you
I don't want to be with you
When I'm with you
I don't want to be with you

You are
Everything
My most
Demanding dream

Good heart and desire to please
I want a fatal disease

With you
I don't want to be with you
When I'm with you
I don't want to be with you

When I'm with you
I don't want to be with you

When I'm with you
I don't want to be with you

    Mom said we can have Where is my mind - The Pixies at home
    Where is my mind - The Pixies at home:

  15. J.... C....

    It's like British Grunge got slapped in the face by edgy Pop Punk, and ended up having a kid with My Bloody Valentine's music.

    Straight up musical innovation at its finest. \m/

  16. F.... F....

    When I'm with you,
    I don't want to be with you.

    White hair
    And a hopeful smile.
    Your inside
    Is on your outside.
    I need
    A pleasant surprise.
    Good heart and desire to please.
    I want a fatal disease.

    With you,
    I don't want to be with you.
    When I'm with you,
    I don't want to be with you.

    You are,
    Everything.
    My most,
    Demanding dream.
    Good heart and desire to please.
    I want a fatal disease.

    With you,
    I don't want to be with you.
    When I'm with you,
    I don't want to be with you.
    When I'm with you,
    I don't want to be with you.
    When I'm with you,
    I don't want to be with you.

  17. A.... ....

    2019 and I just found this. Usually listen to trap and mumble rap but this shit slap

    A.... ....

    @Trashy_Skateboarding Bruh life is already an endless void might as well bang this til I die

    A.... ....

    Welcome to the community bois, this genre isgreat for when ya down or happy, crusin in car or on a skateboard

    A.... ....

    It sure does Eliot

    A.... ....

    Oh goood

  18. T.... K....

    For a solid 40 seconds I thought this why by covet and I was confused as to where the dreamy riffs were oops

  19. M.... B....

    fucking great band man

  20. l.... k....

    swooooon.

  21. s.... b....

    this song is such a mood. ♡

  22. P.... O....

    WITH YOUR FEET IN THE AIR AND YOUR HEAD ON THE GR- oops wrong song

  23. A.... G....

    I’m a HUGE Pixies fanatic and I can definitely see the resemblance but I’m not really getting a full out Pixies vibe from this song. I’m not really hearing “Where Is My Mind”. Guess it’s just me though. 🤷🏻‍♀️

  24. P.... V....

    Me lembro um pouco Radiohead

  25. T.... ....

    "You're everything I've ever wanted, you're perfect, and thats the problem." Basically i think he's lost...still growing/finding himself...thats why he wants someone on his level "fatal disease"... The woman he's with is solid. A good woman. Mentally/Emotionally they are in two different places.

    I believe this is the way my ex felt about me. He just couldn't allow himself to accept a good thing.

    T.... ....

    Being perfect is a problem? No such thing either people give a fuck about you or they dont cant force anyone to do anything harsh truth

    T.... ....

    oldwickedsoul that was exactly their point...

  26. S.... E....

    Anybody else get 'In Circles' vibes by Sunny Day Real Estate during the chorus?

  27. E.... R....

    Sunny Day Real Estate vibe all over this track!! Love it

  28. G.... G....

    🤢🤮🤧😷🤒🤕

  29. s.... ....

    Where is my mind?

  30. M.... O....

    white hairrrr and a hopeful smileee

  31. t.... t....

    I always thought it was "wait here, and I'll hope for a smile"

  32. a.... a....

    omg I've listened to this for many years, it still gives me the same feelings I cant describe. wow.

  33. J.... T....

    Where is my mind with a hint of deftones lol

  34. J.... S....

    Rip off of Helicon Blue- my last breath (Dallas Green's old band)

  35. A.... a....

    This song reminds me of komaeda

  36. D.... F....

    sunny day real estate, deftones, hum

  37. P.... P....

    So much love for this song <3

  38. O.... E....

    Just got out of the concert♡♡♡♡ fucking fantastic

  39. A.... B....

    This song is better than "Where is My Mind", there i said it.

  40. D.... D....

    nothing gets me like this song does.

    D.... D....

    Dale Decker 🥺

  41. N.... I....

    Absolutely amazing

  42. f.... ....

    2018? anyone?

    f.... ....

    2019, my friend, 2019.

    f.... ....

    ashraf karafi 2019?

  43. G.... B....

    Reminds me of life is strange. Love that game

  44. T.... W....

    Little late but fantastic song could listen to it over and over

  45. B.... Z....

    This is to you Rachel

  46. s.... s....

    my ex boyfriend showed me this song and it never fails to make me cry my fucking eyes out.

  47. I.... ....

    Came here from Noah fince haha love this song

  48. G.... G....

    I can believe I found this song after years :( I feel like crying

  49. N.... G....

    Just me and my animal companion in the woods.

  50. J.... O....

    Great song but someone pls explain. He doesn't want to be with her but she's everything?

    J.... O....

    I interpret it like that :
    The girl he‘s singing about is basically all he ever wantet (‚you are everything, my most demanding dream‘) and he knows that she wants him (‚hopeful smile‘, ‚eyes so pleased‘) but still, he isn’t in love with her.
    And he can‘t really understand why he doesn‘t love her and blames himselft for it (‚I want a fatal disease‘).
    So this song is about him being desperate because he realised he doesn‘ t want to be with this girl even though she‘s everything.
    Just my point of view ;)

  51. N.... K....

    Just discovered these guys. Love the sound. Getting a lot of 90s alternative vibes

  52. A.... B....

    I was at Rock Am Ring, a big festival in Germany in 2017 and Basement played there, so i totally wanted to see them. The show was awesome, great energy, people were singing along and i just had a lot of fun. This is one of my favorite songs in general, like of all time and they played it last. At like 16 seconds into the song, it was overshadowed by an emergency broadcast: a terroristic warning. so they had to interrupt the song and everyone had to leave. It wasn't a mass panic, everyone was calm, there was like a mass choir and the mood didnt flip, but it still sucked and i was in a little bit of fear. It also turned out to be a missunderstanding, there wasn't a teroristic threat, someone just didnt spell his name right, so they thought he faked his ID and he was a terrorist. I always think of that moment when i hear this song now, in the crowd with people like me, full of sweat and energy, just fully alive at a place where i am supposted to feel safe. I swear to god, one day i will hear this song live...fully. Because fuck racism and fuck terrorism, music is way stronger than that shit.

  53. A.... B....

    This is almost a copy of where’s my mind by the pixies

    A.... B....

    Austin Bramer Except this song is in c# and where is my mind is in e standard; either or, whooo fuckiiiin caaaares

  54. �.... �....

    The Pixies and Failure had a lovechild.

    If "Radiohead - Creep" and "Pixies - Where is my mind?" had a child it would be this song. So ripped off it's a joke but a good enough song

    y.... b....

    YEAH I THOUGHT PIXIES

    y.... b....

    yossi benayoun Dude, do you seriously think this band sat down in their practice space and said “Alright guys, were gonna write a song that is a total rip-off of Where Is My Mind!”? C’mon now

  59. p.... ....

    its one of the most non-depressive depressive song i've ever heard

    p.... ....

    Agreed 😁

    p.... ....

    Efi het hight

    p.... ....

    i thought i was the only one who felt that way, my boyfriend broke up with me like a week ago and i just couldn't listen to this omg

    p.... ....

    @clara elena it's literally been 6 months, but how are you now? :( breakups are so shitty.

  60. M.... ....

    If this was a palpable object, I'd fuck it

    a.... ....

    ChuckleNuts sunny day is my shit!🤙🏻

    a.... ....

    OH FUCK YOU'RE RIGHT

    a.... ....

    this is literally exactly what I was thinking

    a.... ....

    I couldnt have said it better myself

  71. L.... P....

    estoynekro :)

  73. J.... ....

    my most demanding dream

  75. A.... ....

    Getting Deftones vibes off of this.

    A.... ....

    Die hard tones fan present

    A.... ....

  76. A.... B....

    The drum beat at the end is soooo fucking juicy.

    A.... B....

    Your comment has extra merit just for the Being As An Ocean pic

    A.... B....

    @Isaac Sgro Thx mate :)

    A.... B....

    I love the adjective you chose 🤗

  77. T.... N....

    i don't care if this reminds you of the pixies or not.

    It's just shit simply because of its cringeworthy lyrics.

    and it is a blatant ripoff, which tops it off.

    T.... N....

    I believe moody uninspired lyrics and copied guitar riffs are what the hipster kids nowadays call "real talent"

  78. V.... l....

    Am I the only one who thought the bands name was Covet and the song was called Basement?

    V.... l....

    i was confused as to which is which when i first heard the song last year lol

  79. O.... H....

    The Best

  80. J.... S....

    My crush likes this song and I didn't really listen to it before but I'm so upset that I think he may like my best friend that I get this now :(

    J.... S....

    @Jake Parilla I'm over him now, but thanks for the comment. It actually cheered me up 😂

  81. R.... P....

    F.... L....
