Built To Spill - Goin' Against Your Mind Lyrics






People think when you don't understand
What it takes to wanna be a man
I don't care much for that
I don't know why

Just a fight or just a waste of time
Hiding things that no one wants to find
I don't know much of that
I don't care why

Goin' against your mind, goin' against your mind
Goin' against your mind, goin' against your mind
Goin' against your mind, goin' against your mind
Goin' against your mind, goin' against your mind

Goin' against your mind, goin' against your mind
Goin' against your mind, goin' against your mind
Goin' against your mind, goin' against your mind
Goin' against your mind, goin' against your mind

When I was a kid I saw a light
Floating high above the trees one night
Thought it was an alien
Turned out to be just god

If you're not sure who not to believe
Who has better reasons to deceive?
They're really good at that
That's all they do

Goin' against your mind, goin' against your mind
Goin' against your mind, goin' against your mind
Goin' against your mind, goin' against your mind
Goin' against your mind, goin' against your mind

Goin' against your mind, goin' against your mind
Goin' against your mind, goin' against your mind
Goin' against your mind, goin' against your mind
Goin' against your mind, goin' against your mind

And we won't share
No, we won't share
And we won't share
No, we won't share

  1. j.... ....

    There's already Marquee Moon, though.

    j.... ....

    And before Marquee Moon was the Velvet Underground, though. And before them was something vaguely similar. And you could keep going. So sad you try this hard to be pretentious.

    j.... ....

    @Tyler Moore Slow down with your obscure references, Tyler!

    Explain to the folks back home who The Velvet Underground are.

    And which song of theirs that Television played note-for-note, but at twice the speed.

  2. d.... h....

    Still listening in 2020 👇🏻

  3. J.... M....

    Greatness

  4. Y.... ....

    One of the greatest song intros ever created
    Two minutes and five seconds of pure bliss

  5. K.... Y....

    Evidence of Golden Ratio in this song: the golden ratio moment, found by going to the moment that is .618 x total song length is @5:22

  6. F.... f....

    Are there any other kids here who listen to this because of their parents and love it

  7. L.... S....

    my all time fav. my dna.,

  8. T.... E....

    This song isn’t helping my anxiety long term but it’s the only thing that kinda helps me forget

    T.... E....

    Why doesn't it help you to remember?

    Go against your mind.

  9. R.... G....

    Turned out to be just god...

  10. m.... b....

    m.... b....

    m.... b....

    @mc bizzle wat

  11. C.... J....

    There is a melody here that sounds similar to the growlers living in a memory

  12. C.... ....

    Let it be known that on this most beautiful day, October 26, 2019... I felt very so much ALIVE listening to this song as I watched the sun set.

  13. i.... ....

    this song has helped me through the darkest period of my life.


    fuckin' music, man.

  17. D.... M....

    BTS is a very good band. But eeegggaaddds. His fake modesty and arrogant speach when it comes to other bands is disappointing. I think he needs to remember he was in the in the Halo Benders. OUCH!!!!

    The subtle guitar riff at 4:48 hits me right in the soul every single time.

  19. G.... ....
