Quotes[]

Official comments from BØRNS

"I was in the canyons in LA one night and there was a pack of coyotes going crazy. I got an iPhone sample of it and added it to the beginning of the track. We added a bunch of slap-back delay so it’s hard to tell what you’re even listening to."

In reference to the Chorus "We tracked the vocals while it was thunder storming outside—it was kind of perfect. It made it really easy to just let go. The emotion you’re letting go of could be anything—love, anger, fear."

BØRNS - The Emotion - Vevo dscvr (Live)

[Verse 1]
Shadows fill my mind up
Zeroes tell me my time's up
I lost count so long ago; maybe my heart's numb
Don't hold my hands accountable; they're young and they're dumb

[Verse 2]
Drive through the timezones
Escape out of my mind zone, love
I lost you not long ago; heaven knows I'm miserable
Hell takes all the credit, though, til the day is done

[Chorus]
The emotion is suddenly out of me
The emotion is building up inside of me
And what you're looking for is suddenly out of reach
The emotion, the emotion

[Verse 3]
Islands under eyelids
Spilling in through the silence
You were all that, all that, all that I needed
And we're falling, falling to the deep and now

[Chorus]
The emotion is suddenly out of me
The emotion is building up inside of me
And what you're looking for is suddenly out of reach
The emotion, the emotion

[Bridge]
Rolling through the dark
Carved into the light of day
Both eyes are open now, I'm running

[Chorus]
I won't turn around for you
The emotion is suddenly out of me
The emotion is building up inside of me
And what you're looking for is suddenly out of reach
The emotion, the emotion
