LYRICS
Seventeen seconds and I'm over it
Ready for the disconnect
Putting on a brave face
Trying not to listen
to the voices in the back of my head
(But it's alright now)
It's a distant memory baby
(It's alright now)
You know you should just let it go
But some feelings have a habit of persisting
even though you wouldn't let it show
Wearing me out
(All this)
Hanging around
(It just starts)
Getting me down
('till I'm just)
Looking for an easy way out
Braindead from boredom
I'm led to distraction
Scratching the surface of life
Nothing really happens
But it's easy to keep busy
When you tell yourself you're traveling right
(But it's alright now)
Was it really worth it baby?
(It's alright now)
Was it just a waste of time?
Keep on second-guessing
Use my memory like a weapon
On everything I try

Top Comments of this video!! :3
i feel like most people, like "one hit wonders," is that their most famous song is their best song. Somebody that I used to Know is good, but Gotye's the kind of guy where if you listen to more of his stuff it's even BETTER than what he's known for. i love the artistic-ness, effort, and meaning in his songs

Gotye is another one of the few music artists who really gets it

The irony in listening to this on repeat is not lost on me.

Goddamn this video is a work of art.

Ahhh feels so good to know some artists still put effort into a music video!

Gotye if you ever read this, let me explain why I think this is brilliant:
I interpret the length of the song as life, it's too short.
Your movement is tucked as if it's your duty, and not your own will. The days start to blend in and the fire could be the the build-up inside that at the end makes you say "Screw this, I'm taking the easy way out."

This song makes me cry. I feel exactly like in social anxiety panic attack.
That feel is horrible, horribly sad and depressing.

Why isn't this more popular?

ah....the perfect song for a morning before college.....

I feel bad that most people only know him because of Somebody that I used to know. The dude has many other bangers.

I'm 26, and my life is becoming more and more like this song and video every day.

Ever notice that the best music artists are never popular?

this is the best music video in the universe.

He is the only artist that don't put ads on his songs. Salute!

I personally see this song as a visual representation of burn out and how it spirals into giving up

Why Gotye isn't that famous ? Cause he's really an artist.
