When you hit certain age, and you know you have to struggle all your life with depression, angst, death, that you have never feel like others or maybe you just can't figured out why to feel joy is so hard, and chemicals help but also kill you and numb your soul but make you functional.... You can get high with this sonic meaningful song. Placebo never disappoints my dispair. This is exactly how I feel having to deal with meds and depression. Or with bipolar diagnosed lovers and friends. Just drain and then feeling all the emotions but thanks to a pill then better and then nothing. And no one really cares. Fucking deep amazing song. Love placebo wit, rawness, truth, passion.

BRIAN MOLKO:
āWell, Forever Chemicals was probably the first track on the album that we started working on, and thatās probably why itās the first. In around 2016, I was sat in my studio with Stef, on the iPad, I had this drum machine, and I quickly programmed the beat, just like that. Then I realised that you could take that beat with this drum machine and put it on to any instrument from an orchestra. So I put the drum beat on a harp and I distorted it and put some delay on it. And then youāve got that loop that from Forever Chemicals that opens the album, and itās kind of cool because it was sort of slightly reminiscent of Infra-Red, but more brutal kind of a statement of intent sonically, for the record, to kind of start with that and Forever Chemicals is one of the songs that I rewrote over and over and over again lyrically. It started off as a song about police brutality and I tried to put myself in the heart and soul of somebody who had lost someone, uh, whoād been murdered by the police, then as I spoke to more people I was I was kind of advised not really to go there and I wondered if I was going to be inviting a great deal of aggro into my life. And Iām kind of glad they did because it forced me to go into a sort of a more ambiguous territory with Forever Chemicals. What itās actually about, I think, is that it is up to the listener.ā

Forever Chemicals Lyrics ā Placebo
The memory drugs
Make memory snow
I think but I forget
My imagination doesnāt know where to go
So it goes to sleep instead
The memory tapes
Of memory fucking
Fill me with regret
Now my memory shapes
Forgot their own names
And I canāt get out of bed
(Shit)
My memory body
My memory skin
I want to kiss your pretty face
The memory drugs
Are a discipline
So I can know and keep my place
And itās all good
When nothing matters
Itās all good
When no one cares
Itās all good
When I feel nothing
Itās all good
When Iām not there
And with friends like you
Who needs enemies?
And with friends like you
Who needs enemies?
With friends like you
Who needs enemies?
Friends like you
And itās all good
When nothing matters
Itās all good
When no one cares
Itās all good
When I feel nothing
Itās all good
When Iām not there
Itās all good
When nothing matters
Itās all good
When no one cares
Itās all good
When I feel nothing
Itās all good
When Iām not there
Itās all good
When nothing matters
Itās all good
When no one cares
Itās all good
When I feel nothing
Itās all good
When Iām not there

Its super rare for a band to be able to maintain their sound while at the same time push themselves forward sonically and creatively but Placebo have proved it with this album in my opinion. Musically as good as anything they've done and artistically as good as anything Ive heard in years. Thanks for another piece of art Brian and Stef!
