Watsky - Lovely Thing Suite: Theories Lyrics






Arthur stepped off, yeah he stepped offa the chair
Couldn't weigh a hundred forty pounds
And the rope snapped yeah the rope snapped
And then Arthur found himself looking up from the ground
Looking up, looking up, found things looking up
Looking up, looking not so down, no not so down
No knots don't have to stay that way
No, not so tightly wound

What a lovely thing it is to fail
To release those grasping fingernails
Arthur thought the end was near
Then Arthur played for fifty years
And then my father walked down 8th and 57th street to

Carnegie Hall, yeah it was Carnegie Hill
The show was past sold out for weeks
But they said "if you don't mind, if you don't mind sitting on stage
Sometimes we release a couple seats"
Twenty feet, twenty feet, yeah my dad's twenty three
Tweet feet 
from the hands on the keys
Yeah, the hands on the keys of a man with the hands that almost didn't exist
That almost didn't exist to see

Back in 97 when Dad was my chauffeur
He'd play radio and I'd try to guess the composer
Chopin sprinkled over the hum of the motor
When I was young never I'd doubt my composure
Everything's kosher, man I was so sure
I'd say that I'm good
Don't want no adulthood
I never understood
Couldn't get how anyone would ever want to end to their life
Until the day that I could
I've heard it said we're alone in the ether
That we're the only intelligent creatures
So you don't need to adjust your receivers
If they were out there they'd be texting us, hitting our beepers
Invading us on some alien Julius Caesar
Or begging “take me to your leader”
But I got a theory it's neither
That there's a billion brilliant alien planets at leisure
Smoking alien reefer
The evolution of the mind's not the hunger to conquer
Or to want or to seek or to wander
Or even wonder, but to simply to be
Until we cease to be any longer
There's nothing wrong with heavy eyelids
I hope you enjoyed my twenties as much as I did
You'll never know how much that all of you provided
And I'm gonna try to do the same for

Watsky Lovely Thing Suite: Theories Comments
  1. A.... F....

    You know I always thought of this video in the context of me being the child. But I never had any real question with my father, in fact I really do hate him, for a lot of real reasons......but then I flipped it.....I put my perspective as the father instead.....now that becoming a father of my own. This song helped me a lot in many fascinating ways. The missing relationship I've had from a parental standpoint pushed me into a life I certainly wasn't ready for. But I'm gonna be a dad to someone. Suddenly things "change"

    I changed. Death doesn't scare me as much anymore. Me and my husband who I ironically call my wife has a kid and he's been raising them. I knew something so powerful about us hit me and little before I knew it. I'm suddenly a father. That gap in my heart suddenly is filled and ......... Now I must put a legacy behind me. To be my own time line. Death doesn't scare me, it's more like a long time friend. Suicide and anxiety and the suffering I felt for close to 20 years suddenly feels....good.....it's weird to explain. But I am alive. I wanted to let go for so long. But I made out to the other side. Now I have a life to pave. Watsky.....thank you

    "There's nothing wrong with heavy eyelids."
    Of all three parts, this line resonated the most with me. Too often I find myself up past midnight working on something that could very well wait until tomorrow. I felt myself to often afraid of time. But perhaps I should sleep more, relax about time. There is the enough for everything I want to do.

  3. C.... ....

    I love him 😭

  4. O.... H....

    So beautiful so so beautiful

  6. S.... D....

    Something about this...my favorite arrangement.

  7. D.... L....

    Thoughts on infinity. Words whispered from humble lips like thought from God's mouth to this dust that now sits wondering if there was ever any God at all or just a thought that we had to make it easier. To help us not think of the fall. Imagine that. A YouTube video that could touch us all.

  8. w.... ....

    Tiny Glowing Screens Part 3 is one of few songs that can make me cry tears of joy.

  9. B.... ....

    Dammit Watsky, BREATHE!!!!

  11. B.... R....

  14. T.... L....

    I never realized tiny glowing screens was a follow up to Theories!!!!

    T.... L....

    TGS pt.3 is just the first song on the album, Theories is the last. They link up so that the album technically never ends, hence the title X Infinity.

  15. E.... P....
