Temper Trap, The - Science Of Fear Lyrics






Brakes on

Brakes on
The car is running empty
Brakes on brakes on
The car is runnin' empty
Downhill
Head on
This crash is comin' slowly
Downhill
Head on
This crash is comin' slowly
Move
Or watch the slow death of your way of life

There's a science to fear
It plagues my mind
And it keeps us right here
And it keeps us here

My ears
My eyes
My brain is slowly bustin'
Black smoke
Red sky
The television's sayin'
Downhill
Head on another crash is comin'
Downhill
Head on another crash is comin'
Move
Or watch the murder of you way of life

There's a science to fear
It plagues my mind
And it keeps us right here
And the less we know
The more we sit still
My baby's stuck on a road
That leads to nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

Brakes on
Brakes on
Brakes on
Brakes on
Brakes on
There's a science to fear
It plagues my mind
And it keeps us right here
And the less we know
The more we sit still, sit still
My baby's stuck on a road
That leads to nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

    Why the fuck on apple music i only found the acoustic version only what the fuck

  20. K.... A....

    Uma das melhores músicas que já ouvi na vida!
    Obrigado fifa10 por ter me dado essa oportunidade!!! Nostalgia é foda!

  21. P.... B....

    Some people here have said this song makes them feel emotive/emotional, for me i think its due to the chord structure i think. I'm not a musician but i notice the chords have an ascendancy then a fall so it crescendo's then dives then repeats so theres a sort of a long drawn out breathing pattern to it and the vocals have a certain crying element to how they are sung, so put together it makes the composition feel viceral, dramatic and grand as well as bringing the listeners mood up then down and repeating this rhythm which causes a type of a subconcious emotional response sort of like how some Indigenous chants do.

    For me, I get the image of a racing car driver in their final laps of a very long race when i hear this song, ie the elation, the exhaustion, the happiness, the tears of relief, the rapid thoughts going through their mind and the finish line only being moments away.

  22. L.... t....

    Can i use the song in an yt video ?

  23. S.... W....

    They removed it from spotify ffs!!

    S.... W....

    S.... W....

    @patricia nava Hmm where are you from? Im from Denmark and i cant see it anymore.

  24. L.... R....

    Few people will find this song interesting and it's okay because different taste is not everyone's cup of tea. We preserve variation. We stand out in the crowd.

  25. B.... M....

    Omg 😲 why am I so addicted to this song??? 🤦🏾‍♂️💕

  26. G.... S....

    One of the best music in the world.

  27. A.... K....

    So I bought a secondhand car and there was a cd with this track on it, and I can’t find it anywhere else and I like this song so much, can’t find it on Spotify or Apple Music, can anyone help?

    That black Ford Falcon though...

  47. P.... M....

    Dear god, I love The Temper Trap more than almost everything in the world
    Though if you really watch the video and listen to the song, it has a deeper, darker meaning. Example, the building suddenly smashing with the plane shadow going over it is supposed to represent 9/11

  48. g.... ....

    keren bgt nich lagoe

  49. A.... S....

    mantap jiwa..

  58. S.... I....

    👍👍👍

  59. R.... ....

    I'm a big fan, but these guy needs to listen more to Ministry, NIN, and Curve. Shoegaze and industrialize their sound into something a little harder and less Dave Mathews.

  60. H.... A....

    FIFA!!!!!!

  61. M.... L....

    boa música

  62. P.... C....

  80. F.... L....

    Fifa ! :'v

  81. K.... W....

    This is just an amazing song, so true in my eyes and ears... You just have to let go of your fears and face whats coming or else you will be stuck where you are at, if you get stuck you aint going nowhere

  82. T.... ....

    Very sad video to the song I mean you have the Bobby Kennedy speech 2:21 and one of the world trade centres being hit and glass and paper falling at 2:51 and the red poppy to represent soldiers throughout the video most people just know the song from Fifa 10 and dirt 2 but don't understand the video it's self.

    T.... ....

    TheButtonMashers good insight mate

    T.... ....

    Sorry man but those are not poppies and that is not the world trade center. Looks more like carnations, and the world trade center didn't have rounded corners.

  83. H.... G....
