Album: Grow Up and Blow Away
Lyrics
Sort of wonder why no one said a word
Don't you like it on the sly? Don't you like it till it hurts?
Have I been on your mind? What's a voice without a song?
Something in your head you've been fighting all along
I don't want to say it, the news is not so good
We'll never get away, and even if we could
We'd just play the tambourine around an open flame
Oversleep and burn to be back in the game
'Cause summer never comes, nowhere near high noon
And winter never comes, nor the harvest moon
Raw sugar (save that date)
I don't want to die living in a high-rise grave
Ill pray to call home
Save that date
High-rise grave
Raw sugar
I don't want to die living in a high-rise grave
Ill pray to call home
Save that date
High-rise grave
No I'm not complaining, yes it could be worse
Ferment on the wishbone, match the lips to the purse
Neighbourhoods a runway, fry the ass and thighs
Dirty denim dealers, pushed behind the ires
And summer never comes, nowhere near high noon
And winter never comes, nor the harvest moon
Raw sugar
I don't want to die living in a high-rise grave
Ill pray to call home
Save that date
High-rise grave
Raw sugar
I don't want to die living in a high-rise grave
Ill pray to call home
Save that date
High-rise grave
Still I wear the red dress, paint my toes and twirl
Take it back to old times when I was still a girl
'Cause now I'm all baboon boys, coochie-coochie-coo
Sort of wondered why, I missed a kiss for you
'Cause summer never comes (save that date)
(High-rise grave)
Winter never comes
(High-rise grave)
'Cause summer never comes (save that date)
(High-rise grave)
Winter never (summer never)
Comes (save that date)
Summer never comes, summer never comes

I love how this song (well the entire album really) is very dark but is made to sound light, like it's nothing important just a little worry in the back of your mind.
a worry in back of the mind... But can stand a long time behind you
Still I wear the red dress, paint my toes and twirl. Take it back to old times when I was still a girl. Love that line.
so does my mum

My fave metric song by far
Seeing this song live was fucking amazing
They didn't play it when I saw them. I think Art of Doubt was the coolest song.
It's very hard to say which song is my best since Metric just keep producing great music. I love them all but this one has a special place in me.
It never drives, it never spikes too much, and it carries nicely. This, I can listen to on a daily routine.
This band is truly amazing. I've actually only heard the songs on Fantasies, and this is the first one I've heard from this album. Really amazing, more people ought to listen. Music is Food for the Soul.
This old Metric music is so interesting and intricate, the new stuff is (still good) but just banging on the instruments over and over...
METRIC is simply one fantastic band!
Metric is 1 of my all time fav bands. Innovaters! out of the box. Really vibe with em
No, I'm not complaining
Yes, it could be worse
nice melody...
Wanted to avoid a cliche comment here but i'm super stoned and lovin it.
2021 and still loving all this album.
one of the best cd covers I've seen.
I'm canadian and canada rocks!!!
lowellsongs

Something about this song not sure what but it's just a pleasure to listen to :) (proudly just Emilys silky voice ;) )

It's actually:
I don't want to die living in a highrise grave I pay to call home, same blank days, highrise grave
Wow, I'm so happy to have been shown this song ^.^

Oh shit so much wierd noises
this track rocks
WOW!!!
People who want to support the artist.
good song
:o
something about this band.
they were bad live when i saw them.. emily was off-key and i couldn't tell what song the band was playing until halfway through many of them.. but i still sang along to everything.
all the songs speak to me.
i always come back to them.
i don't know.
Got dat kert!
Was recently visiting my ancestral homeland (Brooklyn, NY) and this song popped into my head. There's no doubt in my mind this song and maybe the whole album is 100% about living in Williamsburg and inspired by the Domino sugar factory (now a park). No I didn't research it , just get off the L train at Bedford Av and walk down to the waterfront, it will all make perfect sense to you.
NY is my home to Homie if you from NY Stand up ya heard...we in here.
Bx we here🗣🌍🌎
hell yeah!
i got to see them at the huston house of blues!!!
THIS SONG IS HOTT!!!
So excited for november 9th :DDDDDD
I dont wanna die livin in a highrise grave I pay to call home
the songs on grow up and blow away reminds me of cibo matto

My sister bought it:)
what genre of music is this considered?
courtCODlurk25 indie rock
This is about to take off in korea
@devourerofbabies agreed! >:D
What are the lyrics about?
Being a hoe
Getting in an abusive relationship
And subsequently dying
Wasting potential. Raw sugar into being finely milled sugar
The early part of their career struggling to make it in Brooklyn, NY. Raw Sugar is the Domino Sugar Factory in Williamsburg, also referenced in On The Sly.
@@renegade619 thought it was in reference to the RedPath sugar factory in Toronto...
@@norab.648 what sells me on Williamsburg story is the lyric "dirty diamond dealers pushed behind the ires" which seems to be a reference to the ongoing culture war between hasidics and hipsters in that neighborhood at the time.
garAGE
