S.A.D. Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It cuts deep, it cuts deep
In human error
Where do I start? We'll be around
We'll be around
Keeping it real, keeping it real
Skeleton in the closet
And if there's a god, if there's a god
And if he's watching

[Verse 2]
Who else do you kiss with those lips?
With those lips
The animals roam, the animals roam
Out of the forest
These are the rules, these are the rules
And they're cruel
The door is ajar, the door is ajar
Safe in the knowledge

[Verse 3]
Under the Chinese sun, Chinese sun
Chinese sun
I hope to see you soon, see you soon
But somehow I doubt it
It's just the rest of the time
Of the time
You've kind of blew my mind
My mind
[Chorus]
Faced with, faced with, faced with, faced with
When you get, when you get
When you get, when you get
Faced with, faced with, faced with, faced with
When you get, when you get
When you get, when you get
Faced with, faced with, faced with, faced with
Faced with, faced with, faced with, faced with
Faced with, faced with, faced with, faced with
Faced with, faced with, faced with, faced with
Faced with, faced with, faced with, faced with

[Verse 4]
It cuts deep, it cuts deep
Safe in the knowledge
Pulling my roots out of the soil
Out of the soil
Before it goes sad, it goes sad
It goes sad
She said no more sad, no more sad
No more sorry

[Chorus]
When you get, when you get
When you get, when you get
When you get, when you get
When you get, when you get
Faced with, faced with, faced with, faced with
When you get, when you get
When you get, when you get
Faced with, faced with, faced with, faced with
When you get, when you get
When you get, when you get
Faced with, faced with, faced with, faced with
When you get, when you get
When you get, when you get
When you get, when you get
Faced with, faced with, faced with, faced with
Faced with, faced with, faced with, faced with
When you get, when you get
Faced with, faced with, faced with, faced with
When you get, when you get
When you get, when you get

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

S.A.D. is the only b-side of Judge, Jury and Executioner, the second single of Atoms for Peace’s Amok.

The song deals with a broken relationship. She wants to break up, so she wouldn’t be sad (or S.A.D.?) anymore.

Meanwhile, the protagonist thinks about the relationship and how he still loves her, even though she cheated on him and the relationship obviously doesn’t work anymore.
