Nothing - Bent Nail Lyrics






I'm built to bleed, plan my ruin guiltlessly
A broken tool inside the shed
Give up the spring, then covet secretly
The breeze and scent stay far away

I'm caught between a beggar's teeth
Buried in the wilted roses and the pregnant weeds
Protest the stars eternally
You can pound away on me until my head's beneath

I'm built to bleed, plan my ruin guiltlessly
Another John who's lost his head
I'm a bent nail, you've got no use for me
A monster for eternity

I'm caught between a beggar's teeth
Buried in the wilted roses and the pregnant weeds
Protest the stars eternally
You can pound away on me until my head's beneath

If you feel like letting go

  1. B.... D....

    holy shit how did I not notice Kurt Vile in the intro

  2. D.... ....

    Wait...the guy I get my produce from is a singer songwriter who used to be in "The War on Drugs?"

  3. S.... s....

    Shoegaze hipster girls are cute!

  4. K.... P....

    I'll stop the world and melt with you

  5. \.... ....

    2:11 ffiiuuu... almost there

    such a greatest band <3

  6. C.... J....

    Romania

  7. E.... Z....

    shoegaze vive!!

  8. j.... x....

    Shoegazers Dont Conform. Suck It.

  9. h.... y....

    Watched this while eating, big mistake 🤢

  10. h.... y....

    I love this video. As soon as they started throwing food I felt déjà vu, that familiar feeling of depression associated with pouring your heart out over something and nobody listening, or feeling like a failure.

    h.... y....

    hehehe yup ok that hit me hard

  11. d.... f....

    Well hey, this is pree tite

  12. T.... h....

    I keep rewinding back to 1:49 that tone😬😬😭😭😊😊

  13. M.... R....

    Richard Benson approves

  14. T.... ....

    Why do they like shit thrown at them

  15. M.... K....

    Boring as Bat shit

  16. D.... ....

    OMG! It's like Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine got together in the same room and made a song. Brilliant!

  17. D.... R....

    zack elmer forever

  18. r.... ....

    Wow very fucking bad

  19. B.... B....

    Сыендук на вокале!

  20. H.... C....

    I've had that same Deep Wound shirt since 1990 . Also to the people commenting that this sounds like Dinosaur Jr. , I respectfully disagree. Other than the Kurt Vile cameo and him and J being buds, I can't find any similarity. Lou, Murph and Mascis are GODS playing God tier rock songs. These guys can't hold a match to the supernova that is Dinosaur Jr.

  21. M.... O....

    fomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  22. F.... C....

    Do not hesitate to check this new grunge shit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC7ISv0HZX8 
    It's called FITZ ROY!!!

  23. k.... w....

    Man the music is great but you all water down your vocals so hard it hurts. The reverb is so wet you can see the damn condensation. I like it a lot during the bridge part near the end though. It has almost a deftones meets washed out kinda feel.

  24. R.... ....

    1:46 i think i had an orgasm at that transition

  25. d.... ....

    They're sick live !!!

  26. T.... M....

    Holy Shit! It's Kurt Vile.

  27. f.... p....

    IF YOU FEEL LIKE LETTING GO

  28. B.... J....

    The ending is beautiful, I wish it was a tad longer

    bassett is so out of place

  31. m.... t....

    this is my aesthetics

  32. B.... C....

    saw them in august in Montréal. Good show👍 guilty of everything, best rock alternative album since 10 years at least

  33. M.... M....

    KURT VILE

  34. m.... t....

    This is my favourite song!

  35. m.... t....

    how can this be so good

  36. T.... Y....

    "I didn't know what else to do with my life, what would make me want to
    wake up every day. I really struggled with that for like four years and,
    not to sound dramatic or anything, but I thought about blowing my
    brains out every day." - Domenic Palermo (Lead Singer) posting cuz it's exactly what i'm going through right now, about not doing what i love due to karmic resistance

    T.... Y....

    Trace Y ditto

  37. M.... W....

    fucking rocks

  38. �.... �....

    So ironic

  39. T.... S....

    Most random thing ever, I just met these guys while getting pizza at 01:45am in Valby, Copenhagen Denmark. They are so nice in person! :D

  40. S.... M....

    I like how the video is commentary on what I'm assuming was the reaction of most of his fans from his former hardcore band Horror Show when he started performing grunge/shoegaze. Personally, I love this. Hardcore never did anything for me.

  41. N.... ....

    Ah, and it's sounds very "grunjie"... Thanks, dudes...

  42. Z.... H....

    this is good idea borr.keep smokin weeds bor

  43. h.... ....

    So good amazing, wow, no word, so powerfull !!!

  44. G.... ....

    Kurt vile cameo whatup

  45. R.... ....

    is that kurt vile in the first 2 seconds?

  46. D.... M....

    Depressing and truthful lyrics

  47. M.... M....

    boot and saddle?

  48. T.... f....

    Might see them At lollapalooza this year but I can't decide.

  49. O.... ....

    great videos but so far the music is like the rock version of vaporwave. it has the numbing effect of deftones and all but not much else

  50. G.... ....

    I just heard about these guys and damn. I'm very impressed! They sound awesome! Kida remind me of Deftones. They also have a My Bloody Valentine vibe. Real cool!

    G.... ....

    My Bloody Valentine are a big influence to them.

    G.... ....

    Fuck yeah

  51. L.... ....

    Love that sound. Like the feedback drenched, wall of noise a la JAMC, Manhattan Love Suicides, Blanche Hudson Weekend, Medusa Snare, etc.

  52. D.... P....

    Guitarss sound a little bit like the distrtion of siamese dream... i like it

  53. t.... ....

    I’m built to bleed

    Plan my ruin guiltlessly

    A broken tool inside the shed

    Give up the Spring

    Then covet secretly

    The breeze and scent stay far away

    I’m caught between a beggars teeth

    Buried in the wilted roses and the pregnant weeds

    Protest the stars eternally

    You can pound away on me until my heads beneath

    I’m built to bleed

    Plan my ruin guiltlessly

    Another John who’s lost his head

    I’m a bent nail

    You’ve got no use for me

    A monster for eternity

    And if you feel like letting go

    t.... ....

    That’s the shit cool fuckin band

  54. J.... P....

    Missed the opportunity to show the fruit guy handing the band an envelope of cash with the money from that night's take like they was in cahoots the whole time.

    J.... P....

    I thought the same thing, would have been a great ending.

  55. B.... G....

    Coo wit it.

  56. S.... D....

    Vurt Kile felling the sruit

  57. T.... W....

    Was that Kurt Vile at the start of the video?

  58. M.... W....

    what an unfortunate spot for a produce stand.

  59. O.... ....

    The tempo change is so powerful for some reason. Always gets me

    O.... ....

    If you feel like letting go...

  60. N.... ....

    Piss Off... The really losers are "this people" who don't understand this: to loose is the truth...

  61. j.... p....

    phaser or flanger effect on the guitar starting at 1:49?

    j.... p....

    +jeremy purvis I'm pretty sure there's some wah going on too.

    j.... p....

    +Bryan Perez They did a rig run down style thing and Nicky and Brandon don't have Wahs.

    j.... p....

    It's a phaser

  62. e.... ....

    so fucking good

  63. g.... ....

    Starts like a punk saw, turns into shoegaze.

    g.... ....

    +ganondorfchampin - its got a shoegaze vibe the whole way through, but definitely with a punk infusion in the first half. Regardless, its awesome.

    g.... ....

    +Jonathan Martinez So punk. So shoegaze.

    g.... ....

    The lead singer/guitarist was in a hardcore band from Philadelphia. Horror Show.

  64. m.... ....

    I'm fucking loving this.

  65. d.... ....

    Nut shot..

  66. p.... ....

  80. J.... B....

    The surprise for me is Alexandra from Whirr/Night School (Bassit in Nothing is also the bassist for Night School) in the crowd.

    J.... B....

    I see her!

    J.... B....

    @JohnnyOutlaw100
     Yeah she's great! We were in talks about starting a project but she lives in another state. She introduced me to Nick the bassist from Nothing when I kicked it with her.. I am in love with her voice. In all her projects. Whirr/Night School/Camera Shy. She is just breath taking.

    J.... B....

    Aye, her voice is brilliant. Love Camera Shy and Night School. Miss her in Whirr too. She's very pretty. XD

    J.... B....

    @JohnnyOutlaw100

  81. T.... A....
