Metamodernity Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Next to Hudson Yards, it's crowded on the weekdays
From April to May
Parse apart a troubled heart from an e-train
And sing about it in LA
[Refrain]
With clouds in the rearview
You start humming along to the first verse
Of your favorite song that you quote each day
With the words all wrong
[Chorus]
So call me when the world looks bleak
I love you, but it’s hard to believe
With every day, we'll start to see
The rest is metamodernity
[Verse 2]
With agrestic charm, it's humid in the Midwest
From June to July
All beneath a pinkish sky from the wildfires
Which mantle the horizon line
[Refrain]
From the outset
It’s been hard to tell why we feel this down
When it all bodes well
Next to Hudson Yards, it's crowded on the weekdays
From April to May
Parse apart a troubled heart from an e-train
And sing about it in LA
[Refrain]
With clouds in the rearview
You start humming along to the first verse
Of your favorite song that you quote each day
With the words all wrong
[Chorus]
So call me when the world looks bleak
I love you, but it’s hard to believe
With every day, we'll start to see
The rest is metamodernity
[Verse 2]
With agrestic charm, it's humid in the Midwest
From June to July
All beneath a pinkish sky from the wildfires
Which mantle the horizon line
[Refrain]
From the outset
It’s been hard to tell why we feel this down
When it all bodes well
[Chorus]
So call me when the world looks bleak
I love you, but it's hard to believe
With every day, we'll start to see
The rest is metamodernity
So call me when the world looks bleak
I love you, but it's hard to believe
With every day, we'll start to see
The rest is metamodernity

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
“It’s sorta this idea that in the progression of aesthetic and philosophy where we can reconcile the grand romantic narratives of modernism with the cynicism and self deprecation and self awareness of the post modern, post internet age. Like, we can still have that memeiness, but still feel like hope and joy” -Josh Augustin
The synth line in this track is clearly an influence from Kainalu, after their tour together in late summer 2019. A very similar melody with the same sound can be heard at 1:44 in Kamikaze Mushroom Palace.
