Abilene from Gaslighting by Hate It Too
Have you ever been to a place just because you thought your friends wanted to go and as soon as you get there, you realize everyone just went because they thought everyone else wanted to? Hate It Too tackles the Abilene paradox as well as other miscommunication issues in this 4-minute prog-punk anthem, following up their most recent full-length album “Lampshading” that came out in 2020.

Êtes-vous déjà allés quelque part parce que vous pensiez que tou.te.s vos ami.e.s voulaient y aller, mais dès que vous y arrivez, vous réalisez que tout le monde est allé juste parce qu’il pensait la même chose? Ça s’appelle le paradoxe d’Abilene. Hate It Too va aborder le sujet de ce paradoxe en plus d’autres problèmes de communication dans son tout nouvel extrait. C’est leur première sortie depuis leur album “Lampshading” (2020) et les fans ne pourraient pas demander mieux.

Lyrics
Go figure out for yourself
Ditch away your comfort
As this ride’s gonna be damn long
The perfect seat does not exist
It’s part of the game, yeah part of the myth
Dragged away from plan A
The compass rolls and the wheels follow
It’s either this or standing still
The price is marked up, no longer a steal
We’re out of bounds, or out of luck
Either way, we just didn’t give a fuck
Give me a reason to stay on this trip
My mind is off, we’re off to a great start
We’re all here tonight, let’s celebrate this holy blight
This was all I hoped for
Go figure out for yourself
Apologies accepted, now it’s time that we cruise back home
It’s time
We build tensions, but never quite resolve them
We build tensions
Give me a reason to stay on this trip
My mind is off, we’re off to a great start
We’re all here tonight, let’s celebrate this holy blight
This was all I hoped for
I spent it all, this ride will cost my home
I give it up, this ride is now all yours
It’s time
We build tensions, but never quite resolve them
