Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You dress up trash in glitter
Sell us rust as gold
You hide the hands that suffer
Make the loud ones bold
You bend the knees of the gentle
Let the cruel ones climb
You turn their lies into legends
What a shameful time
[Chorus]
It’s a disgrace
O time
How you crown the hollow
Raise up the ruthless
Make the careful follow
You make the cheap seem rare
Then make the real just disappear
It’s a disgrace
O time
Can you even hear?
[Verse 2]
Those carved from cuts and trouble
Lean on you like kings
You let their anger echo
Till it owns all things
You light the streets for the foolish
Call their chaos art
Turn the hurt into background
While they tear apart
[Chorus]
It’s a disgrace
O time
How you crown the hollow
Raise up the ruthless
Make the careful follow
You make the cheap seem rare
Then make the real just disappear
It’s a disgrace
O time
Can you even hear?
You dress up trash in glitter
Sell us rust as gold
You hide the hands that suffer
Make the loud ones bold
You bend the knees of the gentle
Let the cruel ones climb
You turn their lies into legends
What a shameful time
[Chorus]
It’s a disgrace
O time
How you crown the hollow
Raise up the ruthless
Make the careful follow
You make the cheap seem rare
Then make the real just disappear
It’s a disgrace
O time
Can you even hear?
[Verse 2]
Those carved from cuts and trouble
Lean on you like kings
You let their anger echo
Till it owns all things
You light the streets for the foolish
Call their chaos art
Turn the hurt into background
While they tear apart
[Chorus]
It’s a disgrace
O time
How you crown the hollow
Raise up the ruthless
Make the careful follow
You make the cheap seem rare
Then make the real just disappear
It’s a disgrace
O time
Can you even hear?
Style of Music
pop, Dark, theatrical pop ballad with male vocals; sparse piano and distant pads in the verse, then a sudden surge of drums and distorted bass for the chorus. Vocals start intimate and almost spoken, then crack into a raw, belted hook with stacked harmonies and eerie choral backing. Final chorus pulls instruments back for a stark, accusatory ending.
