Death By Disco

Song byZebrahead
in AlbumPhoenix

We got lit, just a bit, right outside the show

The tease stripped, then your manners flew right out the door

It's like this, who you keep texting on the phone?

It's like that, I'm not the only one with whoops to owe

It's automatic, don't you point your finger at me

You're so tragic, you should be a Kennedy

It's automatic, pulling me like gravity

You're putting me down, pulling me down six feet

Hate me, hate me, tell me what's wrong with me and break me, break me

Go on and shatter me

Cause lately you've run me into the ground

And you can hate me, hate me

Call it a victory

But you'll see lately, not going easily

Cause I'm not falling down and you won't

Get the best of me now

A fat lip, finger flip, and an insult to go

The record skips, you got issues like a girl in porn

It's like this, you act crazy from door to floor

It's like that, I can't take all of the blame no more

It's automatic, don't you point your finger at me

You're so tragic, you should be a Kennedy

It's automatic, pulling me like gravity

You're putting me down, pulling me down six feet

Hate me, hate me, tell me what's wrong with me and break me, break me

Go on and shatter me

Cause lately you've run me into the ground

And you can hate me, hate me

Call it a victory

But you'll see lately, not going easily

Cause I'm not falling down and you won't

Get the best of me now

I didn't want to get into another battle (Hey Hey)

I didn't want to make the closet bones rattle (Hey Hey)

I didn't want to get into another battle (Hey Hey)

It's automatic how you throw it all away

So hate me now

You can't break me down

So just hate me now

You can't break me down

And you can hate me, hate me, tell me what's wrong with me and break me, break me

Go on and shatter me

Cause lately you've run me into the ground

And you can hate me, hate me

Call it a victory

But you'll see lately, not going easily

Cause I'm not falling down and you won't

Get the best of me now

It's automatic

You're so tragic

It's automatic

About this Song

Death By Disco by Zebrahead is a high-energy alternative rock song packed with intense lyrics that reflect the disillusionment and chaos of modern nightlife and party culture. The band examines themes such as the superficiality of partying, the escapism sought in clubs, and the potentially destructive habits that come with it. Zebrahead also touches on the temporary nature of pleasure and the often hollow feelings left behind the morning after. Poignant moments include the vivid descriptions of the chaotic scenes in clubs and the confluence of existential angst with the pulsating beats of disco music, highlighting the underlying emptiness of such thrills.
