"Pass The Nirvana" lyrics

"Pass The Nirvana"

Yeah

Sink until you're unimpaired
Slow motion like a rolling eye
We can hear you loud and clear
Suicide season is upon and high

Why you always saying, "Let the good times roll"?
Kick your mind open like a punk rock show
Uppercut, bleeding through a softened nose
If you didn't come home injured, would you say it was a good show?
'Cause every single fucking day, I try to roll my eyes and breathe
One hit, now I'm off this shit

Give up, give up
Give up, give up
Give up, give up
I can't hear you
Through the tension
Through the tension
Through the tension, right now
(This is only a distraction)

Swing, batter up, let's play
Power until the target bleeds
This gun would never turn on me
So, Paul Meany, will you drop that beat?

Why you always saying, "Let that shit go"?
Penny-wise fashion on a sad skid row
A gentrified neighborhood of blood-soaked homes
Draw the lines a little further, now they're coming back to get you
'Cause every single fucking day I try to roll my eyes and breathe
One hit, now I'm off this shit

Give up, give up
Give up, give up
Give up, give up
I can't hear you
Through the tension
Through the tension
Through the tension, right now

Yo, I can't shine to save my life
But I'll feel through the dark without you
I set fires ablaze inside
And stepped into the light to blind you

Give up, give up
Give up, give up
Give up, give up
I can't hear you
Through the tension
Through the tension
Through the tension, right now

I can't hear you
I can't hear you
I can't hear you

"Pass The Nirvana" is the lead single from Pierce The Veil's fifth studio album. The song was premiered on September 1, 2022. That was the band's first new music within six years since 2016 and the departure of their drummer Mike Fuentes.
Vic Fuentes commented on the inspiration behind this track, "'Pass The Nirvana' is about the many horrible traumas that the youth of America have endured over the past few years. COVID, no proms, no graduations, an insurrection, school shootings. The list goes on. Their lives have been tossed around like clothes in a dryer, as the tensions within our country have infiltrated our own homes, friends, and families. To me, the song represents a euphoric detachment from all of that anxiety and stress and about finding some form of peace or nirvana."
