I am not going to leave you
Not for good
You are the real one
I am no fool
Fooled by the night
Drinking the poison
Enough to get right
Then to freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
Only see in
Gone the days in the country, not alone
This old wood stove cooks my food and keeps me warm
The dog in the night singing his song
Drinking the poison until my visions gone
Freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
I only see in
Freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
I only see in
Her heels click on the sidewalk
Adding tempo to the sound
Of the city living hard
This ain't no one bar town
Holding a new hand
She don't know his last name
She doesn't need the anguish or the pain
He had a place that was just up the street
She was down for the walk
He had a view that couldn't be beat
And the looks and the talk
He put the right music on
That music led her astray
Touching her just like he should
She was heading that way
Moving though her tangent
Couldn't breathe couldn't talk
Falling in lust with an accident
Sometimes time seems to stop
He put the right music on
That music led her astray
Touching her just like he should
She was heading that way
Freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
Only see in
Freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
I Only see in
Mornings barely breathing when i awake
I eat something to kill this dull ache
Have you been sleeping or is it still your town
Are you drinking the poison that is phasing me out?
Freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
Only see in
Freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
I Only see in
Freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
I Only see in
She's getting close, and he doesn't know.
Not for good
You are the real one
I am no fool
Fooled by the night
Drinking the poison
Enough to get right
Then to freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
Only see in
Gone the days in the country, not alone
This old wood stove cooks my food and keeps me warm
The dog in the night singing his song
Drinking the poison until my visions gone
Freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
I only see in
Freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
I only see in
Her heels click on the sidewalk
Adding tempo to the sound
Of the city living hard
This ain't no one bar town
Holding a new hand
She don't know his last name
She doesn't need the anguish or the pain
He had a place that was just up the street
She was down for the walk
He had a view that couldn't be beat
And the looks and the talk
He put the right music on
That music led her astray
Touching her just like he should
She was heading that way
Moving though her tangent
Couldn't breathe couldn't talk
Falling in lust with an accident
Sometimes time seems to stop
He put the right music on
That music led her astray
Touching her just like he should
She was heading that way
Freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
Only see in
Freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
I Only see in
Mornings barely breathing when i awake
I eat something to kill this dull ache
Have you been sleeping or is it still your town
Are you drinking the poison that is phasing me out?
Freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
Only see in
Freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
I Only see in
Freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
I Only see in
She's getting close, and he doesn't know.

Her heels click on the sidewalk
adding tempo to the sound
of the city living hard
this ain’t no one bar town
Holding a new hand
she don’t know his last name
she doesn’t need the anguish or the pain
I’m not going to leave you,
not for good
You are the real one
and I am your fool
Fooled by the night
and drinking the poison
Enough to get right,
then to freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
I only see in
Gone for days in the country
and I am alone
This old wood stove
cooks my food and keeps me warm
A dog in the night
is singing his song
and I’m drinking the poison
until my visions gone
Freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
I only see in
Her heels click on the sidewalk
adding tempo to the sound
of the city living hard
this ain’t no one bar town
Holding a new hand
she don’t know his last name
she doesn’t need the anguish or the pain
He had a place that was just up the street
if she was down for the walk
He had a view that couldn’t be beat
and the looks and the talk
He put the right music on
that music led her astray
Touching her just like he should
but she was heading that way
Moving through her tangent
Couldn’t breath couldn’t talk
Falling in lust with an accident
when sometimes time seems to stop
Freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
I only see in
The morning’s barely breathing
when I awake
I need something
to kill this dull ache
Have you been sleeping
or is it still your town?
Are you drinking the poison
and phasing me out?
Freeze frame vision
Freeze frame vision
I only see in
She’s getting close
and he doesn’t know
As with many MTB songs I'm pretty sure this one has a relationship type theme. To me it seems like there are two distinct sounds/moods to this song. The slower part at the beginning and the end, and the more up tempo chunk of the song in the middle, which starts with the line, "her heels click on the side walk".
The first part seems like he (or some guy) is away in the country for whatever reason, kind of isolated from society and his life back home. He seems to pass the time by getting drunk (drinking the poison) and maybe just hanging with a dog or something, all while thinking about a girl he has left behind. It almost seems like he is stuck up in some lonely log cabin in the woods or something, but the reason he is there is never really revealed.
The up tempo part starts and brings in to picture the girl's life which I think is pretty obvious. She has been left alone back in the city and eventually gets lonely and can't help but start spending time with other men. The "holding a new hand, she doesn't know his last name, she doesn't need the anguish or the guilt" line suggests she is ashamed of possibly cheating on the guy who has gone away to the country for whatever reason. The the next chunk of the song is pretty easy to understand, but I really like the presentation of how this new guy seduces her by putting the right music on, having a bad ass view, the looks and the talk, etc. etc. She can't resist his charm. I also really like the line, "he had a place that was just up the street, she was down for the walk"
Eventually the song slows back down and returns to the guy stuck out in the woods drinking his poison. Though this time around it is the morning and he is waking up with a hangover, as evidenced by the line, "I need something to kill this dull ache". I'm pretty sure some of the lyrics are just a bit off here btw, but anyway, it almost seems like he can sense that his girlfriend has been out the night before with another guy; "have you been sleeping, or is it still your town....are you drinking the poison and phasing me out". He is wondering if she is out drinking and hooking up with other guys and phasing him out of her life because he is not around.
The whole freeze frame vision line confuses me but it sounds good.
Anyway, I could be totally wrong, but that's the story that plays out in my head when I listen to this song. At first when I bought OMNI this was my least favorite song, probably because of how long it takes to get into the up beat part, but now I really like it.
I'm not checking my spelling so please excuse any typos.
"The dog in the night singing his song" refers to a coyote or something howling at the moon.
I think the freeze frame vision thing is drug related. I've heard people describe drug experiences causing their vision to lag behind reality and almost freeze up. It sounds like that's what could be going on here.
I love this song,it's amazing <3
"She's getting close, and he doesn't know."
This is why I love MTB.
