Brand New - 137 Lyrics

I'm a little sad that this album is old now, and it's the last one....such a damn masterpiece. I love how this music will always exist for me to fall back into.

Such a fucking awesome band!!

This song feels a little bit like A Perfect Circle

Both bands latest albums features heavy themes about nuclear warfare. Fun fact: Nuclear weapons dont exist but chemical weapons do. And if you see a "terrorist attack" in this country anytime soon with a "nuclear bomb" or something, know that is a lie and the real terrorists are just trying to scare you. God bless

Rev311 Mycrown show your work

Science fiction somehow rivals the devil and god for me. Amazing.

Sean Coakley which is your favorite? How do you feel about Deja

I feel tears when he says "open the gates" with the guitar, bass and drums. It's just too good

edgy stuff i listen to while playing ksp

Something tells me this song has nothing to do with the fine-structure constant... still not bad though.

Holy shit, I just found out about this album a few days ago. This is the standout song for me.

check out the old materials by brand new you will really be amazed. This band is nothing but talent with genius Jesse and never a bad song, in my opinion.

With every record they put out, you think it can't get better, then it does. Science Fiction is amazing. This track is certainly the standout to me too!

Over a year later, still getting chills.

Good music from the emo Louis ck

I'm in a "wipe out humanity, because fuck it" sort of mood tonight.

Ya my daughters favorite song

In the Garden, You made the atom/Adam... LMAO...

Love the double meaning there

that FUCKING solo holy shit

“God told me to love a bomb.” God. Damn.

ahhh its hard as fuck to choose but im pretty sure this is my favorite

"We're so afraid, I prayed and prayed
Before I learned to love the bomb"

Prophecy. just the scope this song covers. from asking if God created the atom (bomb) as an inside joke "before the garden"... Nagasaki... Dr strange love... "God told me to love the bomb"... it touches on so many stratus of societal conceptualization of the end. Honestly this is some Bob Dylan level wordsmithmanship

0:56 cant get over this riff and drum bit

travisamazingable ikr it's stuck in my head for so long

The solo's energy fucking hits perfectly with the theme of song...

sounds so grungy and cool

here are the lyrics !
[Verse 1]
Under the ocean
Next to a boiling vent
He's none the wiser
Earth's only resident

It piled up
Man, it was wall to wall
Blink of an eye
And all the problems solved

[Chorus]
Let's all go play Nagasaki
We can all get vaporised
Hold my hand, let's turn to ash
I'll see you on the other side

[Verse 2]
Before the garden
When you were all alone
You made the atom
Was that some inside joke

Open the gates
And then conceal the path
Let's load the gun
And see how long they last
[Chorus]
Let's go ring and run the bunkers
Baby won't you come outside?
Across the sea the birds are free
Let's watch them scream across the sky

Let's all go and meet our maker
They don't care whose side you're on
We're so afraid, I prayed and prayed
Before I learned to love the bomb

[Chorus]
Let's all go play Nagasaki
What a lovely way to die
A final show and we all go
So no one has to say goodbye

Lets all go and meet our maker
Won't matter whose side you're on
We're so afraid, I prayed and prayed
When God told me to love the bomb

Thank you for that I like when people make the right lyrics and plus you seem like a fan!

Calling Dr Strangelove

Feel like this song is inspired by the Kubrick film Dr Strangelove

"and the bomb I learnt to love" is mentioned at some point, I feel.. so.. one of many a references throughout the whole album.

Such a treat for the ears.

VooDoo, anyone ?

Ill forever be grateful to brand new for taking me away for short while , their music is timeless, their music is a gift.

Been here all day 8/24/17 great stuff

Jon brought me here

Caesium-137, cesium-137, or radiocaesium, is a radioactive isotope of caesium which is formed as one of the more common fission products by the nuclear fission of uranium-235 and other fissionable isotopes in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons.

It is the 33rd prime number

1/137 is also known as the fine-structure constant in quantum field theory. It's universally dimensionless.

How did people learn about shit before the internet? Trivia night at Hooligans with Brown Bag Karen and your ex girlfriends drunk dad that she no longer talks to but knows him well enough to make comparisons between you and him to illustrate your short comings... but no matter the task, drywall/ providing for his wife and kids/ the legends of the man you’ll never live up to... but we can’t have a nice dinner at home because of how he demanded her mother serve him and the ruined birthdays and Christmas’ because the man needed to have all the attention on him... yeah, and she promised she wasn’t crazy and wouldn’t completely fuck my life up from outta left fucking field.
Maybe I need to start drinking again... works for him and his legacy

@Bang ! Holy shit. r/oddlyspecific

it's a pure masterpiece

3 minutes on is just pure musical perfection

What's wrong with the other two minutes?

PaddyTV it's immense but that key change at 3 mins...........

not a key change just a bridge. a very nice bridge. there is a key change at the end of 451.

agreed completely. the whole song is great but 3:42 on, in particular, just kills me.

If only he either yelled the last chorus or went even more nonchalant with it if they really wanted the vocals to stay subdued. It kind of feels like there was supposed to be another louder vocal over it. That's the only thing close to a flaw in this whole song.

So damn good. <3

One of my favourite tracks from this record, others being 'Could never be heaven' and 'In the water'.

Same Logic is mind melting, I think you will find.

Batter Up.
Talk about saving your best til last
PS agree about In The Water
