Gaz Coombes - Detroit Lyrics






Out in the dark we are heroes
I breathe in time to your beating heart
But there's a button I've got my finger on
Ooh the poison, the powder and the lies
Better jump right in cause the water's fine

Put your hands on the bottle
Just let it bleed 'til it all runs out
Little taste go see us through the night
Ooh what a strange old time, the powder and the lies
Well the mind is shot and the body's fried

There's panic in my heart
There's panic in my heart
Oh and all the times I feel it
Just tearing me apart
I can't hide from it all
I can't hide from it all
And all the times I need you
You're always so far away
But never hard to find

Out in the dark we are heroes
All in sync got it all worked out
But there's a button I've got my finger on
Ooh what a strange old time, the powder and the slide
The mind is shot and the body's fried

There's panic in my heart
There's panic in my heart
Oh and all the times I feel it
Just tearing me apart
I can't hide from it all
I can't hide from it all
Ooh and all the times I need you
You're always so far away
But never hard to find

  1. D.... P....

    I grew up near Detroit - great tune...

  2. D.... ....

    THIS BELONGS ON A MOVIE SOUNDTRACK ALREADY!!!!!!

    D.... ....

    Unless it already has. I'll look!

    D.... ....

    It isn't!!!! THIS BELONGS ON A MOVIE SOUNDTRACK ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. F.... ....

    7 people are totally missing the point

  4. C.... F....

    1:49 -1:52 Now those are some freaky 3 seconds there... What's happening with the background there? How is this done?

  5. F.... ....

    This video would be much more epic if the guy running was Wim Hof
    People are only finding out about that guy now, a true living legend

  6. S.... V....

    Temazo Gaz

  7. A.... D....

    Looks very much like Buttermere lake. Wonderful place

  8. A.... W....

    seen these guys in Bristol about a year ago supporting the last shadow puppets, what an amazing band they are live. this song and 20/20 had me hooked 👌 brilliant band!

    Singleton Park last Friday - Gaz you were sublime

  16. S.... F....

    URBAN SEASCAPE....one song...well worth the google button.

  17. T.... A....

    I'm totally shocked that no one is mentioning the weird gaz face in the back of the runner's face. It's odd, right? In such a otherwise beautiful and atmospheric video. Like... why?

    T.... A....

    Ripe Ripa yök I know it's been a minute since you wrote your comment here, but I had a thought watching this video. I think Gaz's face on the back of the runners symbolizes the voice in the back of our heads. We have this normal guy jogging throughout the video and in life we see people all around us, but we never know what exactly is going on inside - "there's panic in my heart"- All of the shit we find ourselves thinking about at times we'd rather cover up than wear on our sleeves. The guy in the vid keeps the hood up to cover up what's underneath it all, then when he is alone out in the middle of nowhere he lets the hood down and lets it all go where there's no one to look and talk shit about what's underneath, possibly symbolizing the person we are when we are alone to the person we are out in the world - "out in the dark we are heroes" "I can't hide from it all". The song and video ends with guy still running, only stopping for a moment to reflect (let the hood down) on what's inside, but he keeps going. We have to keep pushing, keep going, regardless of what's underneath it all. Either way, this is just a random ass analysis after watching the vid for the first time. Good vid, good music. Peace out.

    T.... A....

    and on a less insightful note, Voldemort?

  18. A.... F....
