Buzzcut Season

“Buzzcut Season” is about teenagers being driven crazy by the darkness of war. Though the song is sung in a calm, happy manner, the real meaning is quite dark. It is about living in a nice place and being unaware of all the turmoil of war. The title, “Buzzcut Season,” refers to the buzzcuts all military soldiers are required to have.

[Produced by Joel Little] [Verse 1] I remember when your head caught flame It kissed your scalp and caressed your brain (I remember when your head caught flame) Well, you laughed, baby, it's okay It's buzzcut season anyway (Well, you laughed, baby, it's okay) [Pre-Chorus] Explosions on TV And all the girls with heads inside a dream So now we live beside the pool Where everything is good [Verse 2] We ride the bus with the knees pulled in People should see how we're living (We ride the bus with the knees pulled in) Shut my eyes to the song that plays Sometimes this has a hot, sweet taste (Shut my eyes to the song that plays) [Pre-Chorus] The men up on the news They try to tell us all that we will lose But it's so easy in this blue Where everything is good [Chorus] And I'll never go home again (Place the call, feel it start) Favourite friend (And nothing's wrong when nothing's true) I live in a hologram with you We're all the things that we do for fun (And I'll breathe, and it goes) Play along (Make-believe it's hyper real) But I live in a hologram with you [Bridge] Cola with the burnt-out taste I'm the one you tell your fears to There'll never be enough of us [Pre-Chorus] Explosions on TV And all the girls with heads inside a dream So now we live beside the pool Where everything is good [Chorus] And I'll never go home again (Place the call, feel it start) Favourite friend (And nothing's wrong when nothing's true) I live in a hologram with you We're all the things that we do for fun (And I'll breathe, and it goes) Play along (Make-believe it's hyper real) But I live in a hologram with you
