A Town Called Obsolete
Andreya Triana ft. Fink & Bonobo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As I sit here with this urgency
And nobody to the side of me
All quiet and alone
Needing answers of the unknown
Flitting between the real and aloof
A strenghtening pulse of these blues
Sketched out and oh so confused
Just keep calling

Put it down and it will come around
A hidden street
A town called obsolete

Put it down and it will come around
A hidden street
A town called obsolete

I glance out at the invisible
Winding it round, keeping me so warm
Impatiently overload
Missing someone that I've never known
Flitting between the plead and the truth
At times I'm wondering what's the use?
So I ease out a righteous pursuit
Just keep calling
Just keep calling

Put it down and it will come around
A hidden street
A town called obsolete

Put it down and it will come around
A hidden street
A town called obsolete

Put it down and it will come around
A hidden street
A town called obsolete

Put it down and it will come around




A hidden street
A town called obsolete

@WeDontStop1

Favourite Andreya song, really is a bop! Need new music, especially with Bonobo production.

@jasonp1128

I saw her live with Bonobo a few months ago. Simply awesome!

@moonsafari200

What an amazing voice. So unpretentious and simply brilliant. I love R&B from the States; however, the Brits sometimes really recapture the pure, soul element that is sadly lost through auto tuners and gimmicks. It really should be enjoyed as something sexy, authentic and universal. Well done Andreya and Co.!

@alex91z

Can't get enough of this song

@MegumiHayashida

May this kind of Music live forever <3

@CandyForTheWicked

Whenever I hear a dubstep remix of a song, I have to go find the original. This is the best non-remixed song I've heard in a -long- time. So smooth and sublime.
