Recite Remorse Lyrics
I was shaking like a leaf
I was clenching my fists
I was losing my mind, yeah
I was dancing with death
When I stood in my front yard
Felt the sun on my face
It just felt like a rerun
Holding everything in place
For a moment, I was not lost
I was waiting for permission to take off
When we were new to each other
In the city after dark
You were so condescending
You wrote me in, gave me a part
See, I always gravitate toward
Those who are unimpressed
I saw you as a big fish
I saw you as a conquest
And I know for you, it's easy to walk away
You would never ask permission or rue the day
I was out of my body
Reciting lines of remorse
I was losing my mind, yeah
I was halfway out the door
I was clenching my fists
I was losing my mind, yeah
I was dancing with death
When I stood in my front yard
Felt the sun on my face
It just felt like a rerun
Holding everything in place
For a moment, I was not lost
I was waiting for permission to take off
When we were new to each other
In the city after dark
You were so condescending
You wrote me in, gave me a part
See, I always gravitate toward
Those who are unimpressed
I saw you as a big fish
I saw you as a conquest
And I know for you, it's easy to walk away
You would never ask permission or rue the day
I was out of my body
Reciting lines of remorse
I was losing my mind, yeah
I was halfway out the door
I was out of my body
Reciting lines of remorse
I was losing my mind, yeah
I was halfway out the door
Reciting lines of remorse
I was losing my mind, yeah
I was halfway out the door
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
“Recite Remorse” is a relatively soft and calm track compared to most others on Out in the Storm. It is distinctive for being mainly organ-driven (whereas most songs on this album are guitar-driven), and for its unusually slow and relaxed atmosphere. There was also a music video made for the song by video installation artist Ricardo Rivera. ABC News described the song as “a cathartic, almost celebratory hymn of survival.”
