From Indian Lakes - Blank Tapes Lyrics






You used to come alive
In the darkness, you held a light
In the basement, you held on tight
You would watch them night after night

You take them out and you dust them off
Are you the star? Are you meant to watch?
Are they the faces you used to know?
Are we okay? Are you all alone?
(Are you okay?)

They used to hold you up
Float over everyone
You had a warm bed you never saw
Are we okay? Will you sleep it off?
(Are you okay?)

And now we wander in a blank space
But we can't shake ourselves awake
(And now it feels okay)
We try to fill our heads with blank tapes
And we tape over everything
(And now it feels okay)

Take back your bitter words
You're a ghost now, you never learn
Are you the hands of a ticking clock?
Are we okay when the ticking stops?
(Are you okay?)

And now we wander in a blank space
But we can't shake ourselves awake
(And now it feels okay)
We try to fill our heads with blank tapes
And we tape over everything
(And now it feels okay)

And now it feels okay
And now it feels okay
And now it feels okay
And now it feels okay

  1. N.... P....

    This band needs some better publicity. I don't think theyll ever be amazingly successful but they have the writing to definitely be widely known and tour constantly

  2. D.... H....

    Great song. Fantastic video.

  3. S.... F....

    The song is so well written, but I gotta say, this is some beautiful, emotional filmmaking from the production team.

  4. T.... ....

    1.25x speed makes this shit poppy af

  5. J.... H....

    Who's watching dis in 2019. DIS SH@t the bomb btw

  6. Y.... Y....

    When a song makes you feel such strong emotions, you know it’s powerful. But when a band continuously makes songs that have that same amount of power in each song... I love these guys so much. I can’t praise them enough.

  7. D.... C....

    Amo a vibe dessa música, tão delicada e deliciosa 😏

  8. D.... H....

    FIL always have such beautiful women in their videos, just like New Order used to.

  9. A.... M....

    Her face is majestic 0:53

  10. D.... S....

    I'm surprised this band isn't know by more people.

  11. R.... S....

    this video is so good on so many levels. love it

  12. M.... T....

    gay pride

  13. J.... ....

    This music video ruined the song!

  14. M.... T....

    Listening to this song on loop for 7 straight hours...

  15. B.... E....

    every time I see this, it reminds me of how broken my heart is

  16. J.... D....

    Wow..... so many emotions right now.

  17. e.... r....

    I never knew this had a video

  18. A.... ....

    Love this song so much, great band.

  19. N.... ....

    i can pay you in faerydust to tell me how this video was made for lovers if it was :3 well with

    N.... ....

    welcome to the age of aquarius :) can i help show you around <3 :D XD

  20. N.... ....

    you are the breath of healing to the life around us that is drifting spiritually, looking for healing.

    N.... ....

    live a real life

  21. B.... L....

    Nunca decepciona ❤

  22. C.... J....

    Loved it, but it needed more...um...cowbell.

  23. N.... ....

    One of the most beautifully made videos I've ever seen. This and Night Channels by Foxing are tied for my favorite music videos. Not only is this song and video both beautifully done, but as a queer girl I really appreciate this type of non-sexual representation for girl x girl relationships in the media. (From what I interpret, these two girls were in a relationship). Once again, amazing video, amazing song, amazing vibe. Xx

  24. N.... ....

    The song is great but the video looks like a crappy version of Dots And Dashes from Silversun Pickups

  25. N.... R....

    yo this is fuckin crazy, best band

  26. W.... W....

    I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that they sound like Copeland

  27. B.... K....

    howcome theyre not blowing up? theyre fucking amazing their lyrics are perfect, this mans voice is hella soothing and the beat of the song (all song in this album) are melted perfectly.

    B.... K....

    Braun Knew I wonder the same thing

    B.... K....

    Bro I know right

  28. L.... R....

    love it !

  29. D.... Y....

    THE FEELS

  30. A.... L....

    amazing song,i will make our cover song

  31. K.... ....

    I love their music. love it.
    But.. I'm always disappointed with their music videos. they're boring, they drag on forever. Must be all of the slo-mo. Don't get me wrong, FIL music game is strong, music video, not so much. I need something more engaging.

  32. j.... m....

    So nice to hear instruments on this kind of music. I would love to hear this live.

  33. M.... ....

    I miss you

  34. C.... P....

    Been along time since I put headohones on and put a song on repeat! Love this!

  35. V.... ....

    I just checked these guys into my hotel

  36. K.... C....

    I'll date her

  37. P.... M....

    She looks like the girl from Interstellar

  38. F.... ....

    That ending messed me up...

  39. D.... G....

    😢😍 Love this so much

  40. q.... o....

    The last shot of this video is jaw-dropping.
    An excellent video pairing for an exceptional song.

  41. D.... D....

    The story behind this video is so touching. It's about a Lesbian couple that had broken up and its showing all the flashbacks on all the good times they had. if that wasn't obvious enough. So beautiful :'(

  42. A.... H....

    So excited to see these guys with B&C soon.

    A.... H....

    Amy Harris Me too!

    A.... H....

    Michelle Me I was there it was the best show I've ever been to my whole life and I never heard of these guys before the show and I fell in love. The vibe they created was unreal I'll never forget getting lost and out of my anxiety ridden skin, i felt peace and I felt whole for a change.

  43. C.... H....

    check out this new EP https://soundcloud.com/user-476872868/sets/qualms

  44. Z.... S....

    This is not the FIL that I fell in love with. Really miss the rawness.

    Z.... S....

    Zack Serface I have noticed how difference each album was. granted The Man With Wooden Legs and Able Bodies aren't THAT different but from them on each album seem to have a theme. I think the way they follow themes is by changing their sound completely based on an album

    Z.... S....

    FIL's music to me is like a pure relationship where you love your partner and their growth. I totally understand how you feel though, not everyone is gonna like the direction an artist takes their sound and work. I guess I just got lucky

  45. I.... &....

    This is my friend's favorite band and I wanted to listen to one of their songs it I like em

  46. H.... H....

    Why are they still so undiscovered in 2017? They are amazing ❤

    H.... H....

    honestly, I feel the same way, but I'll never not revel in the fact that I always get to see my favorite band in a small intimate setting (and even meet them on occasion) because of how "relatively small" they are

    H.... H....

    tbh, i only know of them because they opened for bad suns on part of their tour. nonetheless, they were amazing, and it was an experience i will never forget. & i would love for them to have success, but it's great to be a fan of music that is relatively small because you get to experience something you wouldn't if they'd been bigger.

  47. Z.... K....

    I love this band. It makes sense that a video from them would also make me happy. Please make more.

  48. S.... ....

    Aesthetically I loved it all and the whole story really ties in with the message of the song

  49. R.... v....

    Nice! Your music is so great

  50. M.... M....

    Its like to the people who disliked this....like.. why?

    M.... M....

    Volume wasn’t on high

  51. B.... G....

  53. D.... S....

    Good Sound

  54. T.... A....

    This band makes everything feel like butter

  55. L.... ....

    Out of nowhere!

  56. M.... G....

    Gosh what fricken camera was used on this the quality is unreal

    M.... G....

    looks like a Red (can't tell wich one), with soft lenses.

    M.... G....

    but it's hard to tell after color grading and added effects.

    M.... G....

    Seriously...such a beautiful color palette, gorgeous exposure and dynamic range.

  57. L.... ....

    BEAUTIFUL

  58. k.... ....

    i dont think it's possible for these guys to put out a song that doesnt bore me to death

  59. C.... P....

    gorgeous video

  60. l.... ....

  63. c.... ....

    I need From Indian Lake to host a class on how to construct solid songs, and give it out for free to artist not currently on Triple Crown Records.

    c.... ....

    i started by trying to rip off my fav bands, ended up coming up with my own sound, that's how FIL did it too

    c.... ....

    BigElephant well damn, tell us how you really feel

    c.... ....

    BigElephant love the honesty. I'm still trying to find my sound. Would love to hear anything you've made!

    A.... L....

    The 12 people who disliked this followed them from the beginning...they're not nearly as good as they used to be. Listen to their previous albums and tell me they're better now. I dare you.
