Retrograde Lyrics
I'm out of faith
I'm in retrograde
A dizzy pattern in a cheap parade
And I'm losing touch but I'm I'm not ashamed
Of what I say or how nice I play
I'm a Trojan horse made of paper mâché,
What has been ever comes 'round again
And I'm under arrest
(I'm under arrest)
I'm shutting down
I'm unimpressed
(I'm not impressed)
But I've done my best
An undecided heart makes such a mess
I'm out of place
I'm a different state
A little scattered by a bitter fate
And I'm losing touch but I'm, I'm not afraid
I'll be okay just in a different way
I have no remorse I have no more shame
Oh nothing ever ends before it begins
And I'm under arrest
(I'm under arrest)
I'm shutting down
I'm unimpressed
(I'm not impressed)
But I've done my best
An undecided heart makes such a mess
Well I'll be going 'round and 'round this cycle won't slow down
I'm looking for the centre of this life I've found
What has been ever comes 'round again
And I'm under arrest
(I'm under arrest)
I'm shutting down
I'm unimpressed
(I'm not impressed)
But I've done my best
An undecided heart makes such a mess
And I'm under arrest
(I'm under arrest)
I'm shutting down
I'm unimpressed
(I'm not impressed)
I've done my best
(I've done my best)
An undecided heart makes such a mess
I'm in retrograde
A dizzy pattern in a cheap parade
And I'm losing touch but I'm I'm not ashamed
Of what I say or how nice I play
I'm a Trojan horse made of paper mâché,
What has been ever comes 'round again
(I'm under arrest)
I'm shutting down
I'm unimpressed
(I'm not impressed)
But I've done my best
An undecided heart makes such a mess
I'm a different state
A little scattered by a bitter fate
And I'm losing touch but I'm, I'm not afraid
I'll be okay just in a different way
I have no remorse I have no more shame
Oh nothing ever ends before it begins
(I'm under arrest)
I'm shutting down
I'm unimpressed
(I'm not impressed)
But I've done my best
An undecided heart makes such a mess
I'm looking for the centre of this life I've found
What has been ever comes 'round again
(I'm under arrest)
I'm shutting down
I'm unimpressed
(I'm not impressed)
But I've done my best
An undecided heart makes such a mess
(I'm under arrest)
I'm shutting down
I'm unimpressed
(I'm not impressed)
I've done my best
(I've done my best)
An undecided heart makes such a mess

But I've done my best An undecided heart makes such a mess
ha. story of my life.
starts off a little slow, but i like it :) so happy they released some new stuff....
Yes, jenshack21, great line there. This song is very Jimmy Eat World. drawing various aspects into relatability but remaining more vague like cartel always does.
I love the chorus which is "I'm under arrest" not rain. and how it builds a foundation of failure before delivering the main line. "An undecided heart makes such a mess"
Their undefined lyrics also let it be applied in other methods, try thinking of that line from the point of view of a relationship, a job search, a life purpose, a faith. Then apply to the rest of the song. I love it.
"I'm out of faith I'm in retrograde"
It sounds like it's "I'm out of phase"...anybody know?
"I'm out of phase" makes sense. Retrograde is a term used in astronomy when a planet kind of goes backwards on its orbit, it kind of makes a little loop and then continues on its way. Phase can definitely be a planetary word in this sense.

I adore this song... it has some of my favorite lyrics off the new album.

Yep, that's right.
Yep, that's right.
This song is about someone losing faith with who they are because they can't find someone who likes them for who they are. They also can't decide between 2 or more people that they like. Its a really hard situation to be in. They might just be getting to know who they are and want to be with someone but their heart is getting in the way.
