Happiness is…a new IAMX single! Nobody quite lays down the sinister synth beats like former Sneaker Pimps frontman Chris Corner. Happiness is not…IAMX lyrics.
“Every day hypocrisy, I see the zombies walking down the street…and it kills me, their happiness. LIARS! LIARS! LIARRRRRRRRRRRRS”
Happiness is…the fact that the b-side of the single is a remix of the title track by fellow dark synth purveyor Gary Numan. The forthcoming 6th IAMX LP is entitled, Metanoia which refers to change in one’s way of life resulting from penitence or spiritual conversion. Hmmm…what indeed is in store for us? Thankfully we can find out on the Fall US tour!
Lyrics
I know I’ll never feel the same.
I know I may never accept the change but I want…
Happiness.
Staring blank at my screen
waiting for a sign, waiting for a smile to come to me.
Happiness.
Everyday the news is dead.
You power drunk fuckers are filling my head with despair.
Happiness.
(liars, liars, liars)Maybe I became too clean.
Maybe the drugs are the only way to be free.
Oh, happiness.
No breaking the anxiety.
Man did I try to, but could never be faded out
with happiness.
Everyday hypocrisy, I see the zombies walking down the street
and it kills me, their happiness.
(liars, liars, liars)Happiness,
Happiness,
Happiness,
Happiness,
Happiness,
Happiness.
Happiness,
Happiness
