Special K lyrics:
Coming up beyond belief
On this coronary thief
More than just the leitmotif
More chaotic, no relief
I'll describe the way I feel
Weeping wounds that never heal
Can the saviour be for real
Or are you just my seventh seal?
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like Special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
And never ever wanna crash
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like Special K
Now you're back with dope demand
I'm on sinking sand
Gravity, no escaping
Gravity
Gravity, no escaping
Not for free
I fall down, hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around
I'll describe the way I feel
You're my new Achilles' heel
Can the saviour be for real
Or are you just my seventh seal?
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like Special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
And never ever wanna crash
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like Special K
Now you're back with dope demand
I'm on sinking sand
Gravity, no escaping
Gravity
Gravity, no escaping
Not for free
I fall down, hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around
No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
Gravity
Gravity

Just realized this was released 22 years ago! For me is always the new single of Placebo ❤️
long as you love it,who cares why your here😉
@@mattpigram it must be miserable to get up every morning and live with such a negativity in the veins...
@@fral.2708 wasnt meant in a negative way
@@mattpigram Ok sorry, I misunderstood
That song made placebo
His voice never gets old...❤
just heard thier latest live album and im amazed how it still holds up
Ik I love NLMG, this band is a masterpiece
This has to be the strangest cereal commercial I've seen.
But the best
😂😂😂
Yes, that's what I did after I listen to it for the first time, I got Kellogs. I DID NOT go to the park and I DID NOT try Ketamine for the first time 🤣🤣🤣
LMFAOOOO
A damned of a cereal I’d be interested in starting my fucking morning with😎 Folgers in my fuckin cup too bitches. Maybe a pizza hot pocket for lunch or two. IDK
Actually Special K is a drug
I saw them in Boston last weekend. Absolutely phenomenal. Completely transported me back to my teens ❤
You are still hot
Jealous 💗
Brian voice is absolutely stunning, I’m soo jealous incredible singing voice
El Cesar tenía razón. Esta canción existe
Pensé que era mula la wea, y por eso vine
X2
Nunca más vuelvo a dudar de ese tipo
Jajajqjajqjaja

This song turned on the radio today at the place where I work. I was so happy all of a sudden, couldn't help singing along.
+Original drugs make me happy ;)
+Original lets get happy everybody
Me too
@@MrEast111 I listened to this song for the first time on special k a few hours ago. Drugs make me very happy.
Which station is it? And is it in the UK?
This song is about ketamine, when they played it at Sanremo, the cheesy and conservative italian song contest, the public booed them and in response Molko showed the finger and throw away the guitar, great band
Obviously.... the title Special K should be a dead giveaway.
I'm Italian too, but i'll write English in order to let everybody understand: lil time ago i saw here on You Tube the video of Placebo performing in our fucked up national "top" musical event. I've been particularly impressed by a fat, sly guy in the public, a pig in a suite, grunting some insult to the band, or personally to Molko, and it reminded me one more time how low are the levels reached by our once ingenious country, the "cradle of saints and poets", land of inventors and stylists, heroes and high grade soccer players, with the best sex and best food in the world - now, a shithole full of dickheads, also thanks to various foreigner interests - without denying our own responsabilities. I'm not a nationalist, but i love my country, and it feels my heart of bitterness. And in general, seeing a great potential being flushed down the drain is an insult to Life Herself!!! Be well, dear compatriot.
When they came to the festival of Sanremo, the public didn't appreciate the Placebo, because of the reaction of the singer, after the esibition of "Special K", who started to hurt his guitar against an acustic speaker, with a lot of violence.
Indipendently of the exibition of Sanremo, this Song is very funny 😉😉😉
p.s. I'm italian
@@nicolagonnella8379 Fuck yeah!
I saw that episode in Sanremo and I thought that Molko war right, it is terrible to play good music in front of the wrong audience, but maybe he should just laugh in front of them and be like Dante: Non ti curar di loro ma guarda e passa! (tanto erano palesemente tutti ignavi). Anyway... Great song! ;-)
one of my fav Placebo songs forever,it never gets old,adore!
Plaacebo 4ever mi band song sus temas ufffff
I like marixa Lilith beauty woman
Dejo como wn a mi Cesarito la mina jdkskdfj
Justo escuche esa parte XD
Hahahahha
Ella quedó como weona jsjsjs se quedó sin ser comida por el waton punky más rico
Contexgo por favor
@@franciscoaleuanllisoto1260en un podcast, un chico (César) contó que intentó ligar con una chica que decía ser fan de "Placebo" y en eso le menciona esta canción (Special K) pero la chica desconocía esa canción, así que César se dió cuenta que era una posser y no se la ligo.
Es más divertida escuchar la anécdota
My older brother introduced me to placebo in the early 90s. I'm amazed at just how much of a massive role placebos music would play into the rest of my life.
I couldn't say that about any other entertainer. Their music is a placebo for my mind and soul.
My sister introduced me to placebo in the 90s now it's 2024 and I'm on special k and she has forsaken me and disowned me😢
the way he sings "gravity" reminds me of The Killers song Mr brightside (jealousy...)
OMG
Exactly!
Images And illusions wow. well done! never noticed that
Gravity, turning saints into the sea... lol
that song came before Mr Brightside
I work in a supermarket and every time I have to restock the morning cereals and get to Kellogg's Special K, this song start's in my head ;)
Prometo nunca más dudar del Cesar
Ídem
toy terrible perdido, contexto?
Amén
No entiendo ?
@@nikki-bv3vk hay un podcast en donde uno de los anfitriones habla de una anécdota que le pasó en torno a esa canción
One of the best bands ever...if you haven't already seen them live it's time you do!
hi, are they good live??
@@Azol570 they are the best live band ever
@@Azol570 They are very good live. I have seen them already 9 times :-).
omg I used to be so fking happy when I heard this when I was younger, no internet, nothing.... just randomly hearing it on the radio, well I guess I can say that nostalgia is kicking in like 'special K'
Placebo holds a special K kind if place in my early adolescence through adulthood. Timeless.

Thanks a lot for the lyrics
The girl who introduced me to this band changed my life in many ways. I was 19 and she was 28, and she and I were lovers and it was wonderful. We strictly adhered to a "friends with benefits only" arrangement and I was perfectly fine with it. Being my age I had no interest in settling down, I wouldn't realise how much it meant to me until now, almost 10 years later. I never even asked myself why I let an "I love you" slip when drunk with her. Now we are hours and hours away from each other and haven't spoken in many years. I wish we could have seen where things would have gone. Rae, if you can read this, you still "come on like special k" to me, and I hope wherever you are, you are happy and loved. Thank you for opening my world up despite not completely understanding it at the time.
I'm crying with your history, this is amazing
@@lynnlacc It's a pang in my heart that I am not certain will ever go away. I like to think one day that I will see her again and realize the potential we had now that I am older. But that is slim to none. But I hope she has found someone who knows her worth and loves her completely. She deserves that happiness, and despite the ache I am grateful to have known her at all.
it was for the best. the older you get the less you have in common. she will be thinking wills and aarp going through menopause and you will be 40 wanting to have fun still. but seriously, one day you will look back at a 19 year old and want to strangle them and think man, was I that annoying at that age? then you'll realize why she took off so to speak.. if you met now, it could probably work. but you were far too young to land a 30 year old woman. she only had 5 or 6 years left to have kids.
@@blue03r6 That's a good way to look at it. As much as the feelings are there, the practicality of it certainly is not. I just come listen to placebo and reminisce on a beautiful, crazy and life changing tryst from years ago. I'm just glad I got to have my fling with her at all. Thank you for the perspective, internet stranger. :)
Dude... nobody cares
This song has lots of energy, it makes me excited everytime.
If you remember this Masterpiece song you are not old you are high quality vintage. 💞👌😊👍
The video is a reminiscence of the old classic scifi movie- fantastic vovage. Placebo was inspired and did it. It is not a stupid video
Inner space as well with Martin Short and Dennis Quaid
AND the fifth level of Toonami's Trapped in Hyperspace online game that had you inside TOM! That got me into endo, even though the insides were robotic. Another thing that got me into endo was the Captain Planet episode "An Inside Job," where the Planeteers go inside Kwame. Kwame's insides were organic.
Thank you for reminding me that movie's title. I remember cartoon show "The Mask" did an episode inspired by this when Stanley and others have to travel inside his dog's body to destroy a virus. One of my favorite episodes ever!
oh no, it's definitely a stupid video lmao but that doesn't make it a bad video at all. it's a great video.
One of the best songs of all time.

as long as the magnetic field still exist, you wouldn't escape it .....lolx
@@NerdZooooone no?
@@FunkyFrag 2021 too
2024 and still..
I've been in love with placebo for over 15 years now.. discovered them back in 2004 probably when I was a scene kid in 7th grade. I'm 28 now and Brian molko and his band is timeless!
20 years later... this still sparks emotions, I'm sure is not just the quarantine
same
I'm a dentist, so every time I hear the chorus I use to sing "cavity" instead of "gravity"...
Cavity, no escaping cavity,
cavity, no escaping, not for FREE!!
Lool xD
Best comment.
@@geager2 totally, bet his patients love it
Oh that's a good one.
You are comedian.
LOL XD
Just like I swallowed half mustache
LOL!
hellrover That is the funniest comment I've seen in a while, thank you so much
Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed !
Nooo that's all I can hear now! Haha
for years i thought he was saying "like i swallowed that mustache" and was like what? thats some wierd k trip ur on m8.
but nah, half my stash makes significantly more sense
Every song's a candy...love placebo.
I remember watching this for the first time on mtv. Damn does Molko have quite the presence! What a great band
I have to have Ketamine infusions for my chronic pain and this is my theme song. I fucking love this song 💜
Quetamina🎉
Where can I get ketamine infusions??
Unbelievably tallented, perfect. Just the way they are
Ketamine is also a dissociative. It separates your mind and body.
"locator's down!"
"you're in there somewhere..."
"I have no mapping!"
"Where the hell am I!? Control!?"
I think this is symbolic dialogue between the brain and the identity trying to reconnect as you dissociate.
👍 Well said.
Between the spirit and the soul.
a truly philosophical perspective..
@@meliseroglu2463 It's just what ketamine does. I recently did it for the first time so this is quite synchronistic, but yeah, an out of body experience like that is pretty mind-expanding.
Jason well yes you're biologically right :) i also want to try this adventure. hope you enjoyed it.
@@meliseroglu2463 safe travels :)
Oe te gusta placebo y vo cachai special k?
Yo también vine por patriarcalmente hablando
Gente de cultura🤝🖤
Vine por lo mismo xDDD
Lo llamaron loco
Lo leí con la voz del sata
they clearly blew the whole special effects budget here
loved the Black Market Album since i was 17 - still love it when i'm hearing Special K 🥰
The best alternative band ever
placebo la mejor banda del universo!!!
This hole song is all original metaphors.
11 years ago, i buyed an iphone 4 at some flea market. I was 18 and was a outsider teen doing skate, droping high school and all that bad things that the cool kids we're doing back in the day. Then, the iphone have all the Placebo discography, obviously i listened them before, thing is that Placebo songs literally change my life and only now, after a decade is how i can see and understand such an impact that his music have on me. Thanks Placebo for being there for me when nobody was, even me.
One of my favourite song ever! So much life and music in this text. I full of strength with this melody.
Love the rythm of this song. Thanks Brian Molko and Placebo !
Just an amazing band !!! Love Placebo & Brian Molko. Hope we'll can see u on stage as soon as possible ! Miss you
Мне было 13, когда я узнала об этой группе. И как многие, кто отметился в комментариях, я разделила свою жизнь до пласибо и после. В самые тяжелые моменты моей жизни я оказываюсь в объятиях их музыки и мне немного становится легче, как будто подействовала таблетка. Голос Брайана был со мной, когда я хотела уйти из этого мира. Голос Брайана успокаивал меня, когда мне снова разбили сердце или я совершила большую ошибку. Сложно описать как сильно я люблю каждую значимую для себя песню. И это сбивает с толку. Столько лет я слушаю и все еще не могу понять этот момент для себя. Вы невероятны. Действительно первые и единственные.
Моя любовь.
Weeping wounds that never heal. My life.
11 years later and this is still beautiful to listen to.
21 Years Release 2000
One of my favourite songs.
Love Placebo. Great tracks.
Geniaaaal!!!!
I eat this song every morning as my breakfast :-)
Los escucho desde que salieron en el 94 y esta canción es de las que me marcaron ,para mi de los mejores ritmos y una de sus mejores canciones
that voice... one of the best vocalist ever
Placebo are one of the few bands I've never gone off... I've liked them from an early festival appearance where they were described as "Anglo / Swedish narco rock" and that intrigued me... They had no product out (in UK)... I've loved them since.....
amo essa música! 💚
Great song,great sound.
Honestly this is my favorite song, by Placebo and in general.
Love the sound of those loose bass strings
This video is fucken awesome!! my favorite Placebo song for sure. That little one bar pause before the first chorus makes me lose my mind every time. Amazing tune, amazing video
Gravity
No escaping gravity
Gravity
No escaping... not for free
I fall down... hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around
Placebo, excelente banda me enorgullece a ver crecido escuchado su música...
On a Placebo binge, and it's goooood!!
This might be just within my interpretation of the song, but the line of "can this savior be for real, or are you just my seventh seal" makes me feel completely devastated. The thought of keeping hope for someone or something to come and save you from the mess all around you instead of acknowledging that you only have yourself and your will to move forward perpetuates self harm and sabotaging tendencies, and a general everlasting sense of despair.
I'm probably completely off of Brian's meaning and instead getting personal, but that's how I feel as a bipolar and addict listening to the song.
Beautiful interpretation!
The real meaning is when you realize that which seems to be outside, a savior, is really inside, you awake that power!
special k is the savior, as in ketamine. can all of those allucinations be real or are they just that.... allucinations?
special k works like LSD, so the trip is somewhat similar, but what you experience can be real, or not....
Perfect!!!
amazing song...just amazing
Cuánta nostalgia venir a escuchar estás canciones que conocí cuando tenía 13 años y Mtv realmente era bueno pues te hacía conocer todos estos buenos artistas que jamás se olvidarán
I first this song when I was 12 on the mtv in Peru, I fell in love with then and I also remember thinking just hearing it felt like what drugs would be. I am in recovery and this song still gives me some euphoria without the aid of a foreign substance. So it’s basically
Magic
Vuelve a Cedro
I was in Taormina, Sicily, for your concert some year ago. Brian, my sweet prince, you're the one ❤

12 years later and this video and song still kick azz!!!
"No hesitation, no delay, you come on just like Special K"
Ouvir placebo me faz voltar na minha infância....saudades
I cry for my youth this song 🥲
Literally smashing special k back RN 😬💀
I am 57 and still enjoy placebo....
Gracias cesarito por hacerme conocer este tema
this is violently turn of the millennium and im all here for it
I LOVE THIS BAND
Black Market Music is my favourite album, fact. I LOVE THIS SONG, as well!
This was my favorite episode of Magic Schoolbus.
fkn love this one!
C'est cool d'écouter ces titres en pleine montagne corse...merci a vous
no ads? almost 1 million views? awesome thanks for just letting me listen
No hesitation, no delay!! You come on just like special K!! Just like I swallowed half my stash, I never ever want to crash!!!
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like Special K,
And how you're back on dope demand,
I'm on sinking sand.
"You're in there somewhere"
Well, no shit.
I like This!!
great song ..
makes me remember my childhood when i did not want to go school and my Mama said i had to....
To me "no escape from gravity" means that no matter how much you try to steer your life or fix a problem theres no escape from gravity. Gravity is a fact. Ive had mental health issues since i turned 21. And the more i tried to ignore it the worst it got. I cant escape it. But ive been finnaly going to Therapy. And have accepted as a fact. Faced my trauma and am doing alot better now compared to before. Gravity is real. But self love is the first step in accepting who you are and what you cant change. I hope you all find the peace of mind you deserve. :)
Классный клип.Помню,шутили в детстве,что у Брайана тут на голове вертолетная площадка😁😁💣
