LCD Soundsystem - How Do You Sleep? Lyrics
Standing on the shore, facing east
I can't feel you
Standing on the shore, facing east
Your impermanence
Listing lazily out of view
I remember when we were friends
I remember calling you friend
Standing on the shore my ear aimed east
I can't hear you
I can't hear you anymore
I can't hear you
I can't hear you anymore
I still remember
Laughing and fighting
I still remember
Standing on the shore, watching for you
You're painted into a corner
Whatever fits in your pockets; you'll get your due
Just like before
With all the others
You warned me about the cocaine
Then dove straight in
Yeah, you warned me about the cocaine
Then dove straight in
In hiding, where there's more for you
(There's more for you) [x19]
[?]
Standing on the shore, getting off
You left me here amid the vape clowns
I must admit I missed the mountain
But not so much you
One step forward
One step forward
One step forward
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
Standing on the floor, facing you
I can't see you, your impermanence
This place is empty
Empty of you
And if I see you, it's like nothing went wrong
Yeah, if we meet again tomorrow, just like nothing went wrong
But they...
Erasing our chances just by asking "how do you sleep?"
One step forward
One step forward
One step forward
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back
And six steps back

LCD Soundsystem How Do You Sleep? Comments
"I miss the laughter, but not so much you"....."Displacing empty"
Morphium sounds nice
Anyone know if they've ever actually played this live? One of my favorites.
LCD SoundSystem >> 2020 * KEEPING ARTISTS GREAT * 2020 <<
fine thank you but this slaps
James Harden should have won MVP this year!
Masterpiece
Echo and the Bunnymen brought me here!
This is killer stuff right here.
Non stop jam.....
From those drums In the very beginning to
The way they pump up the tension, the way this song builds...
holy SH*T!!!!!
Crazy people!!!
great song, but this audio is pretty compressed and lossy
I simply love that song. Isn't it the best version of LCDS?
The part that comes on at 8:40 is taken from something else. I can't remember and it's driving me up a wall. Does anyone know what it is? Joy Division song?
There's more for you.
7:56 gang of four much? (at home he's a tourist)
I just wanted to listen to the album straightforward, but then this song. And this song again. And this song in repeat. Several times.
This was fucking insane live
not the best song on the album, nor as danceable as the others, but pretty good. More of an angry walking song.
Danceable at 3:38 ;)
You warned me about the cocaine, then dove straight in!
Remainds me of Utakata No Hibi
Beast tune from one of the best albums past few years, in my opinion. Man, what a time to be alive!
Sorry for my language....But Fuck this is amazing music!
Elastique, dense. Progressif durant cette matière musicale. Échos vibrionnants. Quelle pêche (double sens) ! Dès lors que survient la corne de brume, qui fait décoller et envoie au plafond et son bateau orchestral aux grandes orgues. Celui qui me fait chavirer de joie à cette écoute.
3:37 & 5:12 & 7:28...hits the sweet spot, every time.
pure bliss...
Tino brought me here! Thanks Dude : )
You know, I have said this since this album came out but revisiting it I’ve been struck with the same thought again. This song has such an incredible power to it that I can only describe as Eldritch. Distant and all consuming; almost impossible to comprehend... God I love it.
Sounds like an American version of Underworld.
Great stuff mate
Anybody else here cause of that interview with the white guy with the Bowl Cut & Glasses
Buy American Dream from Amazon US http://amzn.to/2euA1Sv Amazon UK https://amzn.to/2IJjUOY Buy cheap vinyl records from Amazon UK http://www.cheapvinyl.co.uk/
Omg this song is so perfect. In 9:13 you can think that the sound can get a little monotonous but here is almost unbelievable how evolve. It's getting higher and higher and gets you into another level. I'm ecstatic
I saw this live at the Hollywood Bowl and it was awesome 💕💓💗
when the low-mid synth kicks in at 3:37 is badass
and also the violin before that is badass
crowd is gonna go nuts when they play this song live.
One of the greatest songs I've ever heard. And i've heard a lot of songs.
This is my fucking PTSD personified!
6:40 on is anthemic.
Perfection @7:33. 😍
my pretension brought me here.
Simian mobile disco, and lcd.. Best night any human body will ever have
that's the lcd I've always loved.. Back to your best friends
Bit of Jim Morrison in there.
Love the bassline
I dig all the references. I'd add early-mid 90s Bono (wedged between Achtung and Pop) when u2 were at their cynical best. Cracking song and album.
Christopher Reichhelm Achtung and Zooropa, hands down my fave
Magnificent.The best track on the Album.Shades of early Simple Minds and Talking Heads which can never be a bad thing.
Brilliant! This is TALENT
DAT SYNTH at 3:37
3:36 This part under the shower before go to work is ... <3
This is the BEST part!
για πολλά κουμπιά
I don't understand this time of music.
Why don’t you understand this time of music?
WHY AM I SO AUTISTIC. I MEANT TYPE. not time. I AM SO FUCKING AUTISTIC. CUUUUUUUNT
No worries, just trying to understand your thoughts about the song. I discovered it on New Year’s Eve and liked it! :)
right ow.
It's great, but maybe a bit too bleak for me at this point of life.
Jar media boiz
that is how I came..
Oh man. Not have the time for this album until today. Wow. This song is incredible. I can see the hype. LCD make it work one again with powerful music and amazing lyrics
The "American Dream", indeed.
Well, this is VERY good. Ta for sharing this!
Not a big fan of the album but this song is up there with their best work. YOU WARNED ME ABOUT THE COCAINE THEN DOVE STRAIGHT IN!
An ode to PIL
too good man too good
The start of this song reminds me of the third song off the New Order album 'Power, Corruption and Lies' and the latter part of the song screams Joy Division. An excellent album and great song!
Flat out😂
Anyone else hears Boney M Rasputin?
The intro is definitely a faster version of the drums heard on ‘In a Lonely Place’ by New Order
909 Roland
Man, it's unfortunate that they haven't been playing this on their current tour. Would be frickin' amazing live.
Kevin Roberts
YES THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN
I saw them last week in Italy, they played this one as well. This track was glorious, as was the entire concert.
I knew these guys were good but fuck me, that’s excellent
Fuck, I'm driving to detroit to see these guys tmrw, And every song I'd want to see seems to be played at their latest shows except this one, Would love to see this live
Aah Friends Of Great Music Club, our paths always seem to crisscross.
thk u for this albummmmm
This should be the opening song for all their shows. Might have become my all time favorite LCD song.
He sounds like Jim Morrison
STANDING ON THE SHORE
Eric Himes
FACING EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAST
this song is everything
Nice ride
Go buy the album folks. They have to put food on the table like the rest of us. Brilliant music.
Yeah buy this album. People have noses to feed
why i hear fluke?
This is their best song ever.
Us V Them, dude
and Home
Nah oh baby is the best
@Paul_Mark Yes!
Fantastic!
Real masterpiece
I have to say at this moment in time if this isn't their best song it's at the very top of the list. I am just blown away by this song, driving down the road, full volume, try not to wreck.
Killer track...dance all night
on this track guest vocals by Adrian Kelvin Borland .... impeccable, love this and all of the album!!
3:38
Fuck me
There's def a Death Grips sample at about 0:55. The synth. It comes from the interlude between verses on "Pop" (No Love Deep Web)
Neil L oh wow you're right
Simple Minds meets Echo and the Bunnymen vibes on this track. Welcome back Mr. Murphy.
I love this album. Shades of New Order on this track. So many great influences, but LCD Soundsystem always brings us something unique, relevant, and timely.
This really remind me to the first works of simple minds like fear of god
RIGHT!?!
SO good as usual.
THEYRSMOFOYEWTHEYRSMOFOYEWTHEYRSMOFOYEWTHEYRSMOFOYEW
the clouds in the left bottom, quite sinister :) great tune!
this fucking song reminds me that women are cunts.
Excelente!!! Se lo extrañaba!!!
matias gimenez then it reminds me of you.
Top álbum!!! 5*!
gotta love the mattress firm ads that play before this vid
More importantly, I bet Tim Goldsworthy loves them as well.
It's around 7:30 that I start to levitate while listening to this, fully 4 feet off the ground by 7:38
6:35 on I'm already floating above you
haha, yeah i wonder if he hits that note in concert consistently. like the way the synth plays around the high note as it trails off too.
Jim Weaver honestly from what ive seen theyre quite messy live, but i kinda like it that way. makes it more real.
Not to one up you but I levitated 5 feet
reason of death: THOSE FUCKING SYNTHS HOLY SHIT
Same bass as "Someone great"
"Someone great" is still one their best songs. On this album, I would say " i used to" is their best.
melon was right on this one, I personally don't even see the appeal.
Jesus, I gotta buy this album right away for this track alone.
