lyrics: You'll never have to hear the word "no" If you keep all your friends on the payroll The non-disclosure pages signed Your secret's safe between those lines The scaffolding will cheer and console you But remember what your mother told you That good help is so hard to find For people that are so refined You're trying to turn into the skid In this never-ending grid There's a long, slow fade To a darkened stage And I hear you say "Only a fool gives it away" Only a fool would give Only a fool gives it away You said you wanna stake out your claim High above the city from where you came Don't you know the air's so thin? It starves the brain of oxygen I know it's such a dangerous place For there are more ascensions than there is space Angels causing accidents The camera phones'll document But if I start to levitate Pull me down with all your weight There's a long, slow fade To a darkened stage And I hear you say "Only a fool gives it away" Only a fool would give Only a fool gives it away You're trying to turn into the skid In this never-ending grid But you should know it's not ideal All those hands upon the wheel There's a long, slow fade To a darkened stage And I hear you say "Only a fool gives it away" There's a long, slow fade To a darkened stage And I hear you say "Only a fool gives it away" Only a fool would give Only a fool would give Only a fool gives this away
I really wish DCFC would get the credit they deserve you guys make really meaningful music and I've lived it ever since I was a little bean I know some people don't like their music now but still you guys make really great music
Bewildered its a thing that comes on after cartoon network goes off, where all the adult cartoons like american dad, family guy, and aqua team hunger force and toonami come on
Just saw this during Toonami a few minutes ago. I used to hear this song A LOT on the Radio before, but it wasn't until I saw the video that I took a good listen to the lyrics and realize how much of a heavy hitter this song really is.... :(
He will do anything to stay in the spotlight, even if it means mutilating himself. But in the end, he is the one who ends up losing at his own game when he literally rips his own head off, symbolically throwing away his identity, his soul. "Only a fool would give it away..."
The ending was the best part... You're thinking the character you're following is the original, the first to do all these original things, when at the end his head rolls into a collective of other heads already committed the final act... Either he's been surpassed in his own original thinking by the others OR we just followed a character who was just copying like the rest, we just didn't see where he got the ideas.
One of my favorite songs, however, the irony is true.I told myself@ 5 years old to never give into the pressure-and I don't.As a scientific mind,I think, and I am.( The square root of minus 1.)Thank you.
I know some people gave Death Cab a hard time for switching to a major label when they did, but In my opinion they are still the same amazing band they always were, even better perhaps, and are still making amazing music. No matter what label DCFC goes with, they will always be my favorite band.
i was thinking at the beginning that this looked somewhat like grapevine fires, then i saw the lil reference... loved it. loved the video. so death cab.
Cool grooving song with an enjoyable video as well. Sometimes it makes me happy that I'm the only person left I hang out with that listens to these guys, but also sad kinda.
I've heard of death cab for cutie, but I didn't hear this song until I saw it on Toonami. I really like it, and I'm glad to see this video get some exposure since the animation is great.
frankieinfrance "Did you exchange a walk on part in a war for a lead role in a cage?" Is a quote from Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. One of the buildings in the background on this video has "Lead role on a cage" written on it.
Such a good song, Death Cab can't help write at least one song like this per album (no sunlight, sound of settling, alot of codes and keys, for what reason, etc.) It also looks kind of like Grapevine Fires animation
as some one who lives in LA, I can completely relate. last night I went to a very hip bar for ironically enough an Atlantic band single release party. I knew the crowd would all be in the leather and blank black long shirts like the 1975. so I deliberately wore a white shirt! any way I was the only one in white and I wouldn't be surprised if everyone went out and bought a long white T-shirt!
Whats interesting is that this is the style of art/videos Radiohead used from The Bends up to In Rainbows and especially during OK Computer/Kid A/HTTT. How far does this Thom Yorke rabbit hole go? 😁
This is gonna be one of those bands that never stops making music
That is my most sincere hope. :)
*still is one of those bands that never stops making music
yeah these guys have been going for a while!
Well, they are still making music, but i don't think it'll ever be as amazing as their pre-2005 stuff
Like Depeche Mode, Coldplay, U2.
This shit is so dope. I really wish it was more popular. Insanely jamming song
The irony is not lost
Don't worry mate, I'm going to thrown down about 100k views on this sucker on my own.
lyrics:
You'll never have to hear the word "no"
If you keep all your friends on the payroll
The non-disclosure pages signed
Your secret's safe between those lines
The scaffolding will cheer and console you
But remember what your mother told you
That good help is so hard to find
For people that are so refined
You're trying to turn into the skid
In this never-ending grid
There's a long, slow fade
To a darkened stage
And I hear you say
"Only a fool gives it away"
Only a fool would give
Only a fool gives it away
You said you wanna stake out your claim
High above the city from where you came
Don't you know the air's so thin?
It starves the brain of oxygen
I know it's such a dangerous place
For there are more ascensions than there is space
Angels causing accidents
The camera phones'll document
But if I start to levitate
Pull me down with all your weight
There's a long, slow fade
To a darkened stage
And I hear you say
"Only a fool gives it away"
Only a fool would give
Only a fool gives it away
You're trying to turn into the skid
In this never-ending grid
But you should know it's not ideal
All those hands upon the wheel
There's a long, slow fade
To a darkened stage
And I hear you say
"Only a fool gives it away"
There's a long, slow fade
To a darkened stage
And I hear you say
"Only a fool gives it away"
Only a fool would give
Only a fool would give
Only a fool gives this away
Thank you 🌱
Thank you!
Thank you I appreciate it 😊
Oh, glad this showed up today. Good Video (is so hard to find).
lol
rip
a hysterical take on such a depressing realization
I will not become a pessimistic person, however, I will always have an honest in myself, and others.Always.
Don't let that be you, always be yourself.
But take heart. You've now seen more of the puzzle, and more waves you'd better swim against!
I really wish DCFC would get the credit they deserve you guys make really meaningful music and I've lived it ever since I was a little bean I know some people don't like their music now but still you guys make really great music
Love the film references! Carpet and Room 237 from The Shining and a check from HAL (2001: A Space Odyssey). This director loves himself some Kubrick!
i swear adult swim be having all the good music videos
right
+bacon bits lol it's funny cause I was watching some show I never even heard of and I'm glad cause I found this awesome song. the video is so cool
KillaZae yeah, u shud check out Bobby Conn
What is Adult Swim exactly? :)
Bewildered its a thing that comes on after cartoon network goes off, where all the adult cartoons like american dad, family guy, and aqua team hunger force and toonami come on
one of my favorite songs by them along with soul meets body and northern lights
Love the Grapevines fire reference in the background 💃🏽😁😍
Just saw this during Toonami a few minutes ago. I used to hear this song A LOT on the Radio before, but it wasn't until I saw the video that I took a good listen to the lyrics and realize how much of a heavy hitter this song really is.... :(
OddOneOut665 r
“Be unique, like everyone else”
Haha
Yeah, then I'll really be cool!
Always be yourself, no matter watt.
@@nealbradleigh5069 Why not? Be yourself, and try to trust others as yourself as others?
Less like you , EVERDAY!!

But in the end, he is the one who ends up losing at his own game when he literally rips his own head off, symbolically throwing away his identity, his soul.
"Only a fool would give it away..."
Trent Coffin I also took it to mean that everyone is so quick to throw away their own originality just to be "different, just like everyone else!"
definitely that too, yes.
I thought it symbolized that he was "headless" that is, reckless.
YOU WILL NEVER BE ORIGINAL UNLESS YOU DO NOT CONFORM TO THE LIES... WAKE UP

The guitar solo is absolutely AMAZING!!
I never noticed the middle finger crossing sign till now... I've watched this video plenty of times
How is this song so good?!
Right? It’s nuts dude they do shit all the time lol like wtf
they are just so good! i could literally listen to this band every day of my life!
he still has the coolest tie, though
I like his lunchbox.That hammer, though bothers me.
I've been watching this video for 2 years now and if it wasn't for your comment I wouldn't have noticed it lol
2:47 - 2:50, star hole on Starhead's head is missing.
nice eye
It's because he's looking at the star that would later give him the star holw
+Glaive Beam hole
The " scorpion' took it!
The half of the star.
3:23 already shows star in hand before its done
It will cost you to stand out, be different. But it’s worth it!
It always good.
Much love💕to Death Cab for Cutie, one of my fav bands.
Very socially conscious video. Those who have eyes to see and ears to understand. 😎
One of my favorite songs, however, the irony is true.I told myself@ 5 years old to never give into the pressure-and I don't.As a scientific mind,I think, and I am.( The square root of minus 1.)Thank you.

Their music never gets old. I'll be listening to this when I'm 80, just the same as today.
Polina Pavlenko this song is really well produced
Gaming_oD oh, that's pretty cool...What are the other tracks that made it, if u don't mind me asking?
Absolutely love this video. Very, very fitting in so many ways!
Continuity error at 2:48, he doesn't have a star head when looking down at the scorpion.
Read his horoscope.(?) Who knew?
damn this was such an amazing and interesting video💫
2:55 LOL
Such a depressing and fun video. Love that combination!
very cool style on this video! Love the new album
I could listen to this song 24/7/365! 😍
The sound of this band reminds me of another band named Starflyer 59. Both Death Cab For Cutie and Starflyer 59 singer has an awesome voice.
These guys restored my faith in music...great track
props to Alt Nation...for introducing to me great decade of good music
This is an amazing video 10/10 I just can't get over the level of detail in it!
0:55 nod to one of my favorite songs by them
One of the few good bands that I enjoy. These guys make really good and decent music.
⭐🌱
i was thinking at the beginning that this looked somewhat like grapevine fires, then i saw the lil reference... loved it. loved the video. so death cab.
Cool grooving song with an enjoyable video as well. Sometimes it makes me happy that I'm the only person left I hang out with that listens to these guys, but also sad kinda.
This video made me depressed is such a way.... “be different just like anyone else” that hit hard af
But death cab stills preety good as always
Everyone born of consciousness, is a star! Really.
Do you know the difference between a O and 1, that makes the human conscious differences?
This video is brilliant
On many levels
It's honest.
Que feliz estoy de ver que por fin llego a Millon de vistas.
High off my ass just remembered the exact experience of first hearing this song and seeing the video on adult swim 4 years ago
Best song
I've heard of death cab for cutie, but I didn't hear this song until I saw it on Toonami. I really like it, and I'm glad to see this video get some exposure since the animation is great.
Clever and catchy. Pop with brains
love it.... make my day love you
*made
+frankieinfrance sorry
Lola is that like a bunny kitty
That Pink Floyd reference @ 4:13
+Kenny TV
Nice...Good eye!
Please explain which reference ?!?
frankieinfrance "Did you exchange a walk on part in a war for a lead role in a cage?" Is a quote from Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. One of the buildings in the background on this video has "Lead role on a cage" written on it.
+Kenny TV wow!! Thank you! What an eye you have! And what a great music knowledge you have! Kudos!!!
Seen this plenty of times. Listened to pink Floyd many a time. Never made that connection.
Thanks 🙂
Rádio cidade 🇧🇷
1:05 is the part that brings me back horrible memories when I was little. :(
Mel Jayley when a star went through your head?
Peace and purpose everyone! Great band. Great song.
Peace.🌱
same.
I head them on XM radio. love em
From Chile, I like what they do, continue with it...
One of my most favorite DCFC songs ♥️
Brilliant.. someone get me that cab! lol ;-) Great song..video..
The video was inspired by The Sneeches, if I had to guess.
Awesome 🤩
Such a good song, Death Cab can't help write at least one song like this per album (no sunlight, sound of settling, alot of codes and keys, for what reason, etc.)
It also looks kind of like Grapevine Fires animation
That's because it's made by the same people who made the grapevine fires music video
Yes!
Liked the little reference to the Grapevine Fires video ;)
I was waiting so long for a new video!!! This is really good and it had a reference to grapevine fires!
+FNAF Marionette And Underneath the Sycamore at 1:38
+broll26 and 2:08 lol
+broll26 Oh I saw it!
+LukeM909 yeah Hotel Sycamore
loooove death cab
The floor of the office is the floor from The Shining, and the ROOM 237 is also from The Shining... Great detail.
so interesting. nice message.
Grapevine fires!!!
You saw the billboard too? Haha
Same director too
Sweet new track Death Cab! You've kept so unique. Keep going!
I love this song! This video is great, hope I can see you guys here in Chicago soon!
around 4:05 .... "lead role in a cage" .... a nod to Pink Floyd?
i love the message of the video
as some one who lives in LA, I can completely relate. last night I went to a very hip bar for ironically enough an Atlantic band single release party. I knew the crowd would all be in the leather and blank black long shirts like the 1975. so I deliberately wore a white shirt! any way I was the only one in white and I wouldn't be surprised if everyone went out and bought a long white T-shirt!
One does not make a music video this good and act like it's nothing
seeing you in May agh can't wait
so cool
Guitar reminds me of young the giant:) love it
Perfect video for the perfect song.
True true talent.
Jesus the message is powerful o.o
I agree..wow!
Absolute awesomeness 😊❤️🎶 Brilliant band
I love when they make videos like this. So interesting.
Why this only has 390k views is beyond me..
Nice reference to The Shining. (The carpet). And HAL as well? Perhaps someone is a Kubrick fan.
Brilliant.
Me encantan!!!
Whats interesting is that this is the style of art/videos Radiohead used from The Bends up to In Rainbows and especially during OK Computer/Kid A/HTTT. How far does this Thom Yorke rabbit hole go? 😁
love death cab
I love your music and these art styles are amazing please keep doing what you love
Great
