Metric Lyrics


They say there’s no time like the present; what they really
mean is there’s no such thing as the present. Five seconds
into the future will be five seconds in the past once you
finish reading this sentence. Life in the modern world so
often boils down to taking comfort in the days of old or
praying for some idealized future. Translated into rock ‘n’
roll, terms, it means you’re either ahead of your time or
past your prime. And we’re cool with that.

But Metric don’t let you off that easy.

Their measures are decidedly cubist: More...

Reviews about Metric songs

Amazingly Done | Reviewer: full_volume
    ------ About the song Help I'm Alive performed by Metric

Metric did a great job on this one. Lots of their songs sound alike and can only be distinguished if you listen to them a few times. This one has that distinctive Metric sound we all love, but it doesn't just melt in with all the ithers, if that makes sense. It's perky and calming all at once. My favorite Metric song for sure.


My take on it | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Combat Baby performed by Metric

I love this song because it shows the lead singer of Metric seems to be making a spot on observation of the music scene - while still creating a work that could easily be about a relationship.

The music scene part seems a little tricky to understand - so here is my take on it.

Instead of the high-energy audiences of the past, you have the caffeine-free trendster crowd who doesn't understand you have to be willing to "fight" to show your love for the scene - and bring the energy to the show. She reveals this in the line about the mighty mild 70's child - the era when headbanging rockers thrashed hardcore energy - that apparently puts her to shame.

To be fair, after seeing her at Voodoo, I have to admit that she rocked pretty hardcore - even when she was singing otherwise depressive songs.


so good... | Reviewer: justsomeguy
    ------ About the song Gold Guns Girls performed by Metric

metric makes excellent music as it is, and the lyrcis are so simple...
its great to hear a song that endorses something like "I don't wanna bend, Let the bad girls bend
I just wanna be your friend"

even as a guy, i can appriciate girls as friends...

    ------ About the song Empty performed by Metric

This song is like an escape from pressure every time i listen to it everything is gone and i focus on the words that make sense to everyone but some more than others. I would say that anyone who takes the time to listen to it will feel the same.


Not so fresh | Reviewer: J D
    ------ About the song Glass Ceiling performed by Metric

This is a very great tune, but don't kid yourself about its uniqueness. If you mine the depths of the 90s you'll find similar riffs and arrangements. Nothing really new, but still well executed. Emily's lyrics and singing add to the overall sound. Great band.


NIN? | Reviewer: Ben Fields
    ------ About the song Front Row performed by Metric

I don't know or really think that this is what this is actually about, but this song reminds me strongly of Trent Reznor at live NIN shows.

You probably don't understand that, but that's okay. Those shows are good memories for me. :)

    ------ About the song Dead Disco performed by Metric

i love this song soo much. metric is an amazin band and no they do not sound like combat baby, despite what people say. the lyrics are pretty good too because of the themes of originality and individuality being lost.

Well Done | Reviewer: Dylan
    ------ About the song Ending Start performed by Metric

All the elements of the songs were amazing, and it's my favorite song right now. This song is good enough for a music video, and if they made one, it would probably be very popular. Very well done. I was surprised, it sounded different from the rest of the songs on the CD, but taking a chance with this song was worth it, it's amazing.
