"New Ways" is the opening track off of Daughter's sophomore album Not To Disappear.
Reception[]
About the song, Rhian Daly of NME commented:
"There’s a fresh, subtle aggression to the music in places (like the surging guitars and Remi Aguilella’s crunching drums on opener ‘New Ways” peaks) and the franker lyrical approach makes the sentiments within even more capable of breaking your heart than before. On ‘New Ways’ Tonra sings “I’m trying to get out, find a subtle way out/Not to cross myself out, not to disappear.”
Lyrics[]
Washed out brain
I have a dirty mind
Oh, I need, I need new ways
To waste my time
I need new ways
Washed out brain
I live alone, alone, alone
Washed out face
Keep me inside
I need new ways to waste my time
I need, I need new ways
I’m trying to get out
Find a subtle way out
Not just cross myself out
Not just disappear
I’ve been trying to stay out
But there’s something in you
I can’t be without
I just need it here
I’m trying to get out
Find a subtle way out
Not to cross myself out
Not to disappear
I’ve been trying to stay out
But there’s something in you
I can’t be without
I just need it here
Oh I need
New ways to waste my time
I need new ways
To waste my time
I need new ways
To waste my time
I’m trying to get out
Find a subtle way out
Not to cross myself out
Not to disappear
I’ve been trying to stay out
But there’s something in you
I can’t be without
I just need it here
I’m trying to get out
Find a subtle way out
Not to cross myself out
Not to disappear
I’ve been trying to stay out
But there’s something in you
I can’t be without
I just need it here
(I just need it here)
(I need new ways to waste my time)
(I need new ways to waste my time)
(I need new ways to waste my time)
(I need new ways to waste my time)
