Enter Shikari - Thumper Lyrics






Yes, axiomatic subject matter,executed with absolute lucidity.

Alright

We can't keep deferring action,
only surviving by the skin of our teeth.
We can't keep deferring action,
only surviving by the skin of our teeth.
We're sick of the same old story,
tonight the motionless must vacate,
so we can accelerate out of a stagnant society.
We're sick of the same old story,
tonight the motionless must vacate,
so we can accelerate out of a stagnant society.

We will, we will never be sane
We will, we will never be sane
We will, we will never be sane
In an unsane system
Keep the tempo up, keep the pressure on
Keep the tempo up, keep the pressure on
Keep the tempo up, someone take the first step,
be brave and cave in.

Alright

(Okay, I admit it, we are totally lost)
Imagine that, and then they say..

We've lost the movement, we've lost the beat.
We got so tied up in making a profit
that we choked when we realised that it was at our feet
We've lost the movement, we've lost the beat.
We're all made of the same dark matter,
its intrensic that we rise to our feet.
We'll start a movement, we'll start a beat.
We're all made of the same dark matter,
its intrensic that we rise to our feet.

We're sick of the same old story,
tonight the motionless must vacate,
so we can accelerate out of a stagnant society.
We're sick of the same old story,
tonight the motionless must vacate,
so we can accelerate out of a stagnant society.

We will, we will never be sane
We will, we will never be sane
We will, we will never be sane
In an unsane system
Keep the tempo up, keep the pressure on
Keep the tempo up, keep the pressure on
Keep the tempo up, someone take the first step,
be brave and cave in.

We're sick of the same old story,
tonight the motionless must vacate,
so we can accelerate out of a stagnant society.
We're sick of the same old story,
tonight the motionless must vacate,
so we can accelerate out of a stagnant society.

We can't keep deferring action,
only surviving by the skin of our teeth.
We can't keep deferring action,
only surviving by the skin of our teeth.

  16. c.... o....

    Huh. I was actually looking for the Jesus lizard song Thumper but, this ain't bad either

  17. H.... ....

    my favourite song of theirs, so so so goooooddddd!!!!

  18. �.... �....

    text unreal.u nreal!

  19. M.... ....

    I'm glad that no matter what direction this band goes in, no matter what they're remembered for, this song EXISTS and I have multiple copies of it so that no matter what I'll be able to enjoy it.

  20. I.... G....

    Why is this so underrated it is so good

  21. E.... M....

    And still I'm standing here. Listening like statue

  22. J.... S....

    Anyone look for their cat at 0:28 ?

  23. b.... ....

    hey, whoever did this video also did the video for smash a single digit by napalm death. thats pretty cool

  24. F.... ....

    I love Enter Shikari to death but I suddenly forgot that this song existed wow

  25. D.... W....

    one of shikari's best songs

  26. B.... ....

    Great song, love the animation to.

  27. C.... ....

    love this band so far. didn't even know they were a thing until a few weeks ago. I have a boner... nuff said....

    C.... ....

    can't beat ES- whats your favourite song so far?

  28. M.... M....

    Damn they need to add this to one of their albums

    M.... M....

    Quinn .McCuan it's on the Tribalism album , well it's more of a sub-album thing

  29. d.... ....

    Fun fact: The animation type is called 'rotoscoping'. Look it up yo.

    d.... ....

    I like that it makes everyone equally ugly as opposed to brushing over imperfections helps with my self esteem ;)

    d.... ....

    @slothkingn1 hahahaha

  30. C.... G....

    2016 y todavia me encanta (y)

  31. B.... V....

    what king of metal is this ???

    B.... V....

    + Slothronaut Post-hardcore is a punk rock music genre that derives from hardcore punk but emphasises a greater degree of creative expression initially inspired by post-punk and noise rock.

    B.... V....

    @Another User Oh okay then. But its name is kinda misleading though. I don't know... Like almost everything fits in this genre. From letlive. through Night Verses and Dance Gavin Dance to Enter Shikari..

    B.... V....

    It defies genre by definition

    B.... V....

    Som' like no leader no gender metal ? Standalone metal ?

    B.... V....

    it's trancecore.

  32. �.... �....

    НОрм аще

  33. T.... S....

    Muito LOCO!

  34. L.... ....

    it's so funny they have like done drawings on them selves.it makes them look derp!

  35. I.... ....

    Always loved it how in the description of this video, they call it an '(anti-)music video' XD

  36. m.... ....

  56. N.... H....

    The faces are just nightmare-inducing...

  57. E.... ....

    The man who directed this has clearly done a few psychedelics in his day

    E.... ....

    Clearly the bad kind of psychedelics, Salvia, Datura and maybe Amanita muscaria!

    E.... ....

    @Cosmospheric >Calling Salvia a bad psychedelic

    E.... ....

    @luigikiller1000 I have no idea why I said that, must of been drunk i don't regard those as bad psy's, Datura is though.

  66. S.... F....

    I wish the drawings weren't so creepy.. but i guess thats the point? lol

    S.... F....

    Google Joseph Pierce, then you'll see that this is his style. Creepy indeed. :)

  90. F.... ....

    The awesome music they do?

  91. S.... W....

    Does everyone on here have shit for brains? I agree with what thy're saying. I just want to listen to and appreciate a rare genre of music without the bands personal beliefs being highlighted so much!

  92. L.... 1....

  94. M.... H....

    Dat thumbnail

  95. S.... W....

    I absolutely agree with the ideology, I think the worlds governments are corrupt and essentially evil. I just dont want to be constantly reminded of this fact whilst listening to one of the only bands of this style!

  96. E.... N....

    fuck you

  97. J.... R....

    Might have been shoved down my throat but it definitely interests me now, and you can hardly fault their political ideology..
