Dinosaur Pile-Up have shared an official lyric video for their new song “Sick Of Being Down.” That track will appear on their new album “I’ve Felt Better,” which is set to be released on August 22. Matt Bigland said the following about the song:
“‘Sick Of Being Down’ is essentially a post-traumatic existential breakdown articulated as a 3-minute garage punk rock song. Trying to readjust myself to life after hospital was a really confusing journey. I felt conflicted about myself. What I liked and what I didn’t. What I was, what I wasn’t. All my priorities had changed; my ‘place’ in the world felt different, and that was a jarring feeling to navigate. I was experimenting with weed again to see if I could balance my mental state a little better, and one day, I was wondering if I was in a cycle of kind of self-fulfilling cause and effect; I’m sick of being down when I’m high, cos I’m high when I’m sick of being down.”
He also added the following about the lyric video:
“I wanted the lyric video to be something surreal. The narrative of the song and the footage aren’t linked, but somehow create something new when forced together. It took a minute to find a piece of footage that worked, but in the end, I think we ended up with something really cool and kinda weird! It suits the song for me now.”
