Machine Head haben am 3. Juni auf digitalem Wege ihre neue Single «Is There Anybody Out There» veröffentlicht. Worum es im Song geht, erklärt Rob Flynn wie folgt: «Der Song handelt von Liebe, Einsamkeit, Rassismus und dem Unverständnis darüber, was in der Welt/Amerika vor sich geht. Er bezieht sich auf aktuelle Geschehnisse, zielt jedoch auf etwas Übergeordnetes ab.» Wer gerne nachlesen möchte, worum es in «Is There Anybody Out There» geht, kriegt die Lyrics gleich nach dem Clip dazu…
I was born as a bastard, no father, no master,
A shadow in silence left searching for answersPut up for adoption and left with no option
Another kid fostered to fester forgottenTake a look into these desperate eyes
As they’re cast into the wretched hiveBut I ain’t going down alone
Is there anybody out there?
Anybody listening to me?
Is anybody else scared?
The paranoia, drops me to my knees
Does anybody feel lonely?
Disconnected from the things I see
Is there anybody out there?
Anybody out there just like me?
I’m choking on these words and I can’t breatheNow I stand as a father, to men with no honor
Ashamed of the racists I used to call brothersCause no flag can mean bravery,
when bloodied by slavery,
The rebel, a devil, disguised as a saviorAnd the sickening feeling in the air
Is the fear to speak that no one daresSo will I stand here all alone?
Is there anybody out there?
Anybody listening to me?
Is anybody else scared?
The paranoia, drops me to my knees
Does anybody feel lonely?
Disconnected from the things I see
Is there anybody out there?
Anybody out there just like me?
I’m choking on these words and I can’t breatheLive my life like I’ll die tonight
Dream like I’ll live foreverI have roared at the world for years
Doesn’t anybody hear me?
This burden suffered, I’ve paid the cost
Not all who wander are lostIs there anybody out there?
Anybody listening to me?
Is anybody else scared?
The paranoia, drops me to my knees
Does anybody feel lonely?
Disconnected from the things I see
Is there anybody out there?
Anybody out there just like me?
I’m choking on these words and I can’t breathe
