about

The most rambunctious single of the bunch is Young Buck, our fourth release for the upcoming record. Young Buck is about putting your nose to the grindstone and getting shit done. The main riff is bouncing metronomically to convey the discipline it takes to devote yourself each day. The instruments build and build to slowly create something magnificent, capped off with a soaring and rampaging solo at the end. The speaker comes from a place of privilege, and is having to learn the lesson that nothing will be handed to them from here on out. The speaker is no longer in their coddling comfort zone anymore; if they want something, they have to take it for themselves. That means striking while the iron is hot, and not letting complacency eat away at all your days. Because a day has 24 hours in it for everyone. No one is getting the advantage of extra time, and the people succeeding are devoting every second of those 24 hours towards their aspirations. This was a lesson that was very valuable to us as a band. The message of this track sank into our psyche, and we started to push harder and work longer towards our top goal: to release this album. We hope that listeners can rage with us, and remind themselves that when it comes to your dreams, the biggest thing standing in your way is likely yourself.

lyrics

End this now
Used to, couldn't wait for a lighter load, needed spare moons and full lungs
As of now
Cannot dodge a tighter back to interrupt my Catfish cover anthems
End this now
You're not making hay, I can't imagine imminent days of sunshine
So pen this now
The lunar cycle you get will be the same as everyone else

Lie lie, lie lie lie
Lie lie, lie lie lie
Lie to yourself, young buck
The dumb luck ended when you left Midland

A new set of ears
Apocalyptic dreams she can hear
Got a muse, plus one or two to care for someday
So take off your shoes, fuck with the blues, already too late

Lie lie, lie lie lie
Lie lie, lie lie lie
Lie to yourself, young buck
The dumb luck ended when you left Midland

Lie lie, lie lie lie
Lie lie, lie lie lie
Lie to yourself, young buck
The dumb luck ended when you left Midland
