"Emotion Sickness" lyrics

"Emotion Sickness"

Use once and destroy
Single servings of pain
A dose of emotion sickness
I just can't shake
Then my fever broke

You got no possessions, just your flesh on, yeah
See the sights, Holy Braille
Feel as you might, oh ah-ah
Rip some pieces free

Oh, atrocious! F-ferocious!
Yeah
Check the price
Alibi buy by the slice
Yeah, absolutely

Baby don't care for me
Baby don't care for me
Had to let her go, oh

Baby don't care for me
Baby don't care for me
Had to let her go, oh

Yeah

Oh, gonna vacuum all the perfume
Hit the lights, keep your shit out of sight
No, it's giving me the creeps

Wanna chew gum, go on, get some, yeah
Put up a fight
Well, let's have it right now

Baby don't care for me
Baby don't care for me
Had to let her go, oh

People come and go on the breeze
For a whole life? Possibly
I don't really know

A flick of the switch
So smooth and clean
How we grow is so painful, believe you me

Then my fever broke
Then my fever broke
Then my fever broke

Baby don't care for me
Baby don't care for me
Had to let her go, oh

People come and go on the breeze
For a whole life? Possibly
I don't really know

Baby don't care for me
Baby don't care for me
Had to let her go, oh

People come and go on the breeze
For a whole life? Possibly
I don't really know, oh

"Emotion Sickness" is the first single from Queens Of The Stone Age's eighth studio album, "In Times New Roman...". The song was premiered on May 11, 2023, accompanied by the music video directed by Liam Lynch. The Queens described their new music as "the sound of a band creating the music its own members want to hear, while giving the rest of us a sonic forum in which to congregate."
Queens Of The Stone Age teased this song with a short video clip they shared on Twitter on the 8th of May, 2023, with the caption "It's our special week!"
"Emotion Sickness" seems to be inspired by frontman Josh Homme's custody battle with ex-wife Brody Dalle (The Distillers).
