Lyrics for Trojans by Atlas Genius:
Take it off
Take it in
Take off all the thoughts of what we've been
Take a look
Hesitate
Take a picture you could never recreate
Write a song
make a note
for the lump that sits inside your throat
Change the locks, change the scene
Change it all but can't change what we've been
Your trojan's in my head
It's ok if it's gone
The thoughts that you had that it was the one
And oh what is left?
For all those times is that what you get?
Oh regardless
The walls get painted anyway
Oh you're guarding
The gates, but it all got away
Your trojan's in my head
Take it off
Take it in
Take off all the thoughts of what we've been
Take a look
Hesitate
Take a picture you could never recreate
Write a song
make a note
for the lump that sits inside your throat
Change the locks, change the scene
Change it all but can't change what we've been
About Atlas Genius-
The members of Adelaide, Australia's Atlas Genius do things a little differently....They set about building a studio where they could write and record music for their newly formed band 3 years before they even played their first live show as Atlas Genius. For two years, they devoted their days to constructing their dream studio and spent their nights performing songs by The Police, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones at local pubs to pay the bills. "We really got down and dirty with dry walling and literally laying the floorboards, and at the same time we were taking a couple of days a week to focus on writing songs," recalls Keith Jeffery, Atlas Genius's vocalist/guitarist. "We had a lot of song ideas and it was important to us to have our own studio where we could experiment and hone in on our sound," adds brother and drummer, Michael Jeffery. The studio was designed and outfitted by the brothers with the help of their father (who comes from a music and engineering background). Once the studio was complete, the first song that Atlas Genius finished was a song called "Trojans," which they wrote, recorded and produced in collaboration with their friend, keyboardist Darren Sell. After many weeks tweaking the song, Michael insisted that the song was ready to be heard outside of the studio walls. Within an hour, "Trojans" was on the Triple J Unearthed Website, SoundCloud, and for sale via TuneCore on iTunes, Amazon and Spotify worldwide.
Quickly named an iTunes Single of the Week in Australia and New Zealand, "Trojans" reached #4 on Hype Machine by the end of May. In August, SiriusXM Satellite Radio's Alt-Nation discovered the song on a blog and decided to give it some spins. There was an immediate reaction from listeners, and in September, "Trojans" was placed into heavy rotation, where it maintained a top-five position on the listener-generated Alt-18 countdown and peaked at number one for 4 consecutive weeks in January 2012. "Trojans" began selling over a thousand tracks per week on U.S. iTunes and soon climbed to 45,000 sales - all with zero promotional efforts from the still-unsigned Atlas Genius.
The band's first release from their new label home, the EP Through The Glass (produced, engineered and mixed by the band), came out in June of 2012. With Through The Glass completed, Atlas Genius then holed up in its studio and worked on writing and recording its first full-length album, while at the same time rehearsing for their first ever tour. The tour started in August 2012 and led to three more tours back to back taking them thru to the end of the year. Thus, their full-length debut was finished up between tour dates and got completed just before Christmas 2012. When It Was Now is set for a US release on February 19th, 2013, with an international release to follow soon after.

Where is its Official Music Video?
Love it!!
Yup
2011-2013 was such an amazing time for indie/alternative music, most of my favorite songs are from that era.
I agree!!!!!!!! Same with me.
I miss this kind of music (indie rock/pop) as well as indie folk like Of Monsters and Man, Mumford and Sons, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros etc.
Dude I was just thinking that. And it’s 2021
Yeah fifa 08 thru fifa 15 had the best indie soundtrack
You should explore further back😉
I think I agree I generally say my fav music is 80s90s but there was allot of great music around 2012..
I haven’t heard this song in years but it still randomly plays in my head sometimes
Randomly heard it on the radio last week. Hit like a truck
That's exactly what happened to me last week. Last time I heard this song in summer of 2014. Recently I started humming the melody of the song and today I finally found it! Good to be back
I guess their trojans are in your head.
I guess that trojans in your head🤔😏 -
I will let myself out...
Ya I heard this song last night in a steakhouse as I was chilln on some wine, and I could not quite make out the words. The only thing I could make out was "Your - in my head. Oh oh~ " As you could imagine, typing that into Google did not get my anywhere. I finally gave in and tried tried humming the melody into Google Assistant and it found the song immediately. I had almost forgotten the melody too. Thank god the hook clutched through last minute
Such a nostalgic sound this song has.
Agree with you I do.
Agreed 💯
dear stranger,
thank you.
For leaving your "cool indie music" CD in your car that you sold to my dad the car dealer.
On that CD was this awesome song and now im obessed. So thanks for indirectly introducing me to this song
Are you still alive?
@turtletrain I asked the same thing.
what else was on it?
I don't think I'll ever get tired of this song.
Are you still alive
Same
me neither
This song hits me so hard because I've been in the same situations. Let me explain what this song is about. He's haunted by the thoughts of three people. The twins who were afraid or disgusted at him as a kid. He was bullied, and was an outcast. He was an only child with with a single mother. He remembers how she tried to find another husband but eventually failed. We see later in the video of her as an old woman. The third thing that haunts him is his ex. She loved him and he loved her but they weren't meant for each other. Perhaps something happened that upset her, but in the end they ended up seperate. The pain he has is that he can't change the past, no matter how much he wants to. Those 'trojans' are memories that he still thinks about I know all three personally. Just wanted to share this with anyone out there who's willing to read this.
That was great, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing ! :)
And to think all this time I thought the song was about carnivorous earwigs pretending to be a q-tip
TheShiningKoW210 Great breakdown. I was confused as shit. But this is probably my favorite song of the last 3 years. Thanks for helping me understand it. You're a good dude.
ZerglingRush ya your wrong💯😝
The guitar and bass are following one another just perfectly, daaamn
We need a Project Almanac 2
Oh dude :')
We really do
Honestly 😍😍
You've hit the nail
Yeah absolutely
7 años y sigue siendo mi canción favorita 🙆🏻♀️
Igual la mía :')
escuto essa música desde 2013 e continua sendo minha música favorita :')
@@projectalmanac1101 Te gustó mucho la película o por que tú nombre? Jaja
Hasta que encuentro un comentario en español c:
@@LuisCruz-ou4df buenos gustos musicales...
This was one of the first songs I listened to my first time doing MDMA. I nearly cried I felt so much emotion, bliss, euphoria.. Absolutely incredible.
dont do drugs... smoke weed !!!
@@kristianahook1764 Hey there. Just a friendly word of advice (that I know is both unsolicited & also on an older comment... lol)
*BUT,* I'd highly encourage you to get/use a test kit these days. It's super worth it & really does mitigate a good portion of the risk w/moderate use. (Well, as long as you know you're not predisposed to have any issues imbibing in that substance for some other reason than the known ones.)
RIGHT NOW, the market is absolutely *flooded* w/ various research chems sold as MDMA, but that are, in fact, imposters. These days, more & more MDMA tabs are either tainted or just downright something else all together. Like, totally different chem comp, but usually allowing the user to "feel" a very similar experience to legit MDMA. But, many may not be nearly as safe as they could be or as safe as MDMA generally is.)
The kits are cheap & may save your (or a friend's) life. *They're not expensive & are super accessible on the net.* So, it'd really be silly not to test them if you aren't already. Besides, the sheer peace of mind you get after testing your substances puts you in a little stronger position (mentally) to handle your experience w/out as much anxiety. Bcuz, some folks do get it. (Some don't.)
*Just don't store your shit & the kit in the same place or drive around w/both.* Your kit may be considered paraphernalia in some US states, even as stupid as that is.
@@kristianahook1764 Wasn't trying to preach to you personally. Just trying to put the info out there w/the hope it will encourage folks to engage in some harm reduction.
Safe partying to you. 🥳
what a moment for you
Early 2010s with Molly were goated
When he says: "Your trojan’s in my head" I think this is a clever way of saying, I welcomed the memories of you into my head (the horse the Trojan’s moved inside the gates) but you took over my head and it’s hard to move on. I want to move on, but you are always in my head like a virus that is difficult to get rid of.
Nice comprehension skills😁👍 (not being sarcastic or trolling)
+Andrew Okehi Indeed.
that's profound dude makes alot of sense, adds a new layer to this song
👆 Not really😐 ... Its exactly what the song means
+How Sway it adds a new layer to the song for me, I hadn't thought of it from that exact perspective though the theme is evident I hadn't thought of it as a song of moving on 😃
The guitar in this song is painfully beautiful.
Still come back to this song everytime I watch Project Almanac
Damn me too
literally me rn
I remember going to a panic at the disco concert and Atlas Genius opened for them and ever since I've been in love with their music
First heard this song in Project Almanac, loved it since.
Yooo bro feel same
The most beautiful thing about music is how a song can just instantly transport you back to a different time in your mind. The thoughts, feelings and actions you once had just come rushing back to you
Music is awesome
Take it off, take it in
Take off all the thoughts of what we've been
Take a look, hesitate
Take a picture you could never recreate
Write a song, make a note
For the lump that sits inside your throat
Change the locks, change the scene
Change it all but can't change what we've been
Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head
Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head
Your Trojan's in my head
It's OK if it's gone
The thoughts that you had that it was the one
And oh what is left?
For all those times is that what you get?
Oh regardless
The walls get painted anyway
Oh you're guarding
The gates, but it all got away
Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head
Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head
Your Trojan's in my head
Your Trojan's in my head
Your Trojan's in my head
Your Trojan's in my head
Take it off, take it in
Take off all the thoughts of what we've been
Take a look, hesitate
Take a picture you could never recreate
Write a song, make a note
For the lump that sits inside your throat
Change the locks, change the scene
Change it all but can't change what we've been
Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head
Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head
Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head
Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head
Your Trojan's in my head
Take it off, take it in
All the thoughts of what we've been
Take off all the thoughts of what we've been
when that bass starts up at 0:23. that groove just lays it down - always
Most underrated song I've ever heard
10M views tho...
These were good times man. 2010-2013 was legendary
Atlas Genius are legit the sweetest people ever! Every time I see them live they always make an effort to meet their fans!
his voice is just so sweet and soft i love it
this song is so amazing because depends on how you feel when you listen to it, it is either a happy or sad song
Nostalgia. I’ll never get tired of this
I still come back to this song at times even though 10 years have passed since I first heard it. It still elicits vivid memories from times where I listened to this song in my teens.
2 years so far and I just can't get tired of this song. A true GEM (:
Could find this song for the longest time because I thought he was saying “ choker in my hand” lmfao so glad I found it ❤
Whos listening in 2020?

Thank you, Keith, because with this wonderful song, I lived, laughed, cried and will love the love of my life forever, even if he doesn't walk with me today. Infinite thanks 🌊
2021, this song and Project Almanac were the best in high school days and both are timeless.
i love the beat to this song, i just love everything about it, it's lyrics, etc., yet it sucks that it's ruined by an awful memory.
"Take a picture you could never recreate

pure love.
Neida Camacho isn't this ENTIRE song about awful memories of some relationship? Don't get me wrong, still a stellar song
The guitar reminds me of Two Door Cinema Club for some reason.
Alda Keza i think its the "twangyness" of it if that makes sense cause i was thinking the same thing
so true
Alda Keza yea kind of
Same
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
I love how everyone has a personal connection with this song.
I saw them after this came out when I was working XFest in San Diego. They were great live, I was impressed. 🎶
this song makes me sad for some reason :/
Its a sad song
true but its catchy
erinn cx True...
Ethan Shea
erinn cx somehow that guitar in the chorus makes me happy. I see where you're coming from though! Especially toward the end!
this song is art.
I heard this song once in project almanac and now this my favorite song
I saw them open for Blink-182 last night. I am thoroughly impressed at how awesome these guys are.
Project Almanac
+Mike Almeida was a great movie.
Watched that yesterday they gave me a great song 😄😄
this is my favorite movie 😍😍😍😍💕💜👌💁
Yes❤️
I love that movie uwu ❤️
I love when a lyric from a song just randomly pops into my head. That’s what happened and I forgot how much I loved this song.
The song is really good and let everyone interpret it in a personal way. No matter how hard people would try to get rid of so called 'trojans' from their past, eventually they are there, in our heads, in memories, in snippets of certain songs, etc. Maybe these 'unwanted' things are too old to care about or they are just too new, still too painful, but they create us somehow. I think it's neccessary to understand and be aware of such proccess and learn from it. There is nothing better than letting go some things, events and focus on ourselves. Be wiser from your past self.
I was just about to say why I like this song and then I read this and realized that what you stated is true. This is why I love this song.
"Your Trojan's In My Head" - In the song, this line can be interpreted several ways; in most interpretations, the person whom the “trojan’s” belong to is a love lost. Despite the protagonist’s efforts to keep the gates of their broken heart guarded, things slip through and memories of their past relationship come flooding back.
Additionally, one could infer that the ex-lover was the trojan themself - he or she was happily accepted into another’s heart, but now, relationship gone awry, thoughts of that person are not pleasant.
josegljr u're welcome :)
wisdom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Surprisingly accuarate : )
This song is a piece of art. I've easily listened to it a couple hundred times and I still love it
I feel a lump in my throat when I hear this song
Projet Almanac!!! New favorite movie and new favorite song
|-/ my friends been telling me to watch it I'm gonna check it out
Daniel Carrillo you really should |-/
I got this song from the same movie!!! Haha how funny. I love the movie and song. So so much
SAME!!!
Nice front dude
The guitar, the bass, the drums, the lyrics... The song is just amazing. It now become the trojan in my head.
I have been looking for this song for 6 years! TH-cam recommendations algorithm is on fire tonight!
After 2 and a half years of listening to this band which is my favorite band of all time these songs never get old. I have the deluxe album I've seen them live (they were amazing) and I can't wait for album2. If your a true atlas genius fan and follow their social media you know what I'm talking about ;)
been listening to this song ever since I was 12 and heard it on MTV still in love years later 😍😍
Same
That must be where I heard it from
sono qui a scrivere sotto questa canzone perché mi è venuta per la testa alle 2 di notte di una serata estiva. È come se mi stessi auto infliggendo del dolore, ma non posso fare a meno di ricordare quanta felicità mi abbia dato. "Change it all but can’t change what we’ve been", posso cambiare tutto e tu non fai più parte di me, ma niente può cambiare quello che è stato. Questa canzone mi fa ricordare quando andavi sullo skate e io amavo guardarti, ascoltarti e fare dei video; mi fa ricordare a noi due dopo un periodo brutto davanti lo specchio nella casa al mare nudi di ogni paura che ci amavamo per davvero e adesso fa male odiarti per tutto il male che ci hai fatto. Spero un giorno capirai che esser scappato dalle montagne, non ti ha reso migliore davanti alle pianure.
I have the most highest respect for this bands journeys
Great English mate!
i love this song,its so fun to sing to,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,all the thoughts of what we've been.............luv this band!
Years ago when MW2 was popular my buddy and I invited a guy to our Xbox live party. He respectfully asked if he could play a song for us. He sang this song while playing his guitar at a slower pace. I don’t remember the guy or his gamertag.
The artist is actually referring to how catchy the song is and how it gets stuck in your head.
2020 and this is STILL my favorite song
Needs more views this song is the shit man
no hahaha lmao it nothing

Yes.
Sujeong Chun ah?

I recently discovered this song, and this is the first TH-cam comment I've bothered to make about a band. And this is the first song I actually bothered to buy from iTunes, and I have been listening to it on repeat for literally three hours.
BRO NOSTALGIA I'M CRYING!😭😭💓
Watching project Almanac right now
Most underrated band of all time
I literally heard this song on the radio and I managed to hear the last few lyrics and I fell in love!
I made sure to search for it the minute I got home, I a gorgeous song. 💕
Do you ever wonder if the authors of the song still listen to their song from time to time, this song, it would always make me think, especially for the vocalist if he listens to this song from time to time.
I could listen to trojans all day. Love it!
3 years of searching have payed off 🙌🏼
This song will forever remind me of my first love that passed away. Love you frank ❤ rip. Great song. Never gets old 😇
hes in heaven
This images in this video do a good job of evoking a sense of memory, and loss.
I about fell over. I just discovered this song. I have heard it a few times over the years but never really knew who played it. I lost a twin named Atlas Gemini at 22 months old just over 5 years ago. The band name is so close to my son's first and middle name. The song hit me really hard as I was able to release some emotion and cry. Thank you for this and thank you for everyone of you.
RIP Atlas Gemini Wafer ❤️
I found this by accident but now i am proud of it...this song is awesome !
Me too
The song and video make me think of memory and loss.
the song i have been searching for so long to find and now it is no longer trapped in my head. finaly
