Headlights from Headlights & Lizarz by Speelburg

“Headlights was co-produced with my long-time buddy and collaborator Laurie James Ross.
His talent knows no bounds.
We originally tried to write something completely different.
At the end of a session which had gone in a very weird and very different direction, and with maybe 10 minutes to go, we started messing around with recording single voice notes through his OP-1.
I think we kinda knew from those first 10 minutes we had something cool.
We recorded some live drums then added that bassline. at’s my favorite bassline on this album. It’s a real cool thing when you can get the bass to be one of the main hooks in your track.
Lyrically, It’s a song about going somewhere completely new and alien and throwing yourself into it. Sink or swim, just figure it out.
It’s about not being able to stay put and always finding a million reasons to be busy.
We went to the moon 50 years ago. at was a big deal.
I really hope that in 50 years, future generations look back on the release of this single with the same reverence.”

Lyrics

Crash landed on the rings of saturn
To try to break the same ol pattern
Moving on is hard when your outta this world

Turn the volume up on all the chatter
Some of what they say don’t matter
But why you talking shit about my girl?

Caught in the headlights
Making all the headlines
I find it hard to sit still

Caught in a landslide
Making out at midnight
If he don’t love you someone will

Ok I’m sure
I feel better than I did before
I met you, but I let you turn me into
The spitting image of a dude that says he never gets you
Like a sneeze with a bless you
Or a please and a thanks
Of course I’m’a follow you
There’s trees in the bank
But you're squeezing the tank

Parking lot.
In a crop top. Are you a cop? you gotta tell me. legally. oh you don’t? my bad. I guess you’re not.
meet me where I met you on that first night
Echo Park. Motel Six. Pretending to talk about politics

Caught in the headlights
Making all the headlines
I find it hard to sit still

Caught in a landslide
Making out at midnight
If he don’t love you someone will

Sometimes
I look bored but I ain’t
Sometimes
I do my own stunts
Sometimes
I watch the door and I wait
Sometimes
I look bored...but I ain't

Sometimes - I eat meat and I feel ashamed
Sometimes - I can’t remember my dad’s name
Sometimes - there’s a little more to say
Sometimes - my full name is Noah Sacré
Sometimes - I get bored of you
Sometimes - I want more of you
