Lost Cause
Beck Lyrics

Your sorry eyes, they cut through bone
They make it hard to leave you alone
Leave you here wearing your wounds
Waving your guns at somebody new

Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're a lost cause

There's too many people you used to know

They see you coming, they see you go
They know your secrets and you know theirs
This town is crazy, nobody cares

Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're a lost cause

I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause

There's a place where you are going
You ain't never been before
No one laughing at your back now
No one standing at your door
That's what you thought love was for

Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're a lost cause

I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause

Lyrics
Your sorry eyes cut through the bone
They make it hard to leave you alone
Leave you here wearing your wounds
Waving your guns at somebody new

Baby you're lost
Baby you're lost
Baby you're a lost cause

There's too many people you used to know

They know your secrets and you know theirs
This town is crazy; nobody cares

Baby you're lost
Baby you're lost
Baby you're a lost cause

I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause

Thereâ??s a place where you are going
You ain't never been before
No one left to watch your back now
No one standing at your door
That's what you thought love was for

Baby you're lost
Baby you're lost
Baby you're a lost cause

I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause

when i was a teenager, probably 15 or 16, i was going through a really hard time and felt very lost and worthless. My dad played this song for me and we drove around for a while and just cried together. This week, i drove up to his hometown and listened to this on repeat in his car. I love you, Dad

After being heartbroken and not a chance to meet somebody during lockdown, and sucking at parties. Your comment hit me In the feels. I carried a guilt that didn't belong to me and for a narcissist girl that didn't loved me back. After taking ayahuasca a few months ago I finally got my things together.

But let's be real. Spotify suggestions had brought me here after being on a constant loophole with nutshell by Alice in chains after one of my best friend's passing away due to an accident a week ago. This has been an emotional toll on everyone that knew him closely. Sparring and drawing had been my anchor for keep on living. But yes. I am picking up the pieces and being sober for almost four months. There's no way out but fighting our way back into the light. I am still trying.

I used to think a break up meant you stopped loving the other person. But it's more tragic than that: the love never really dies. But neither does the pain and resentment. The relationship becomes cluttered with things other than love, up to the point where love has no room left to show itself.

@Mari VG I’m sorry to hear this. My bf thinks this of me, but he’s clearly nuts. I’m a user. I’m an abuser. I only do this because of a cycle that’s put on ME. I wouldn’t do any of this, if he had not of done that to me in the first place. Call me all of those names yup, but didn’t come outta no where. It always takes two to tango. Breaks don’t just happen because one person loved them and the other didn’t. Like what? At some point you both had love for each other. You can either recognize it or not. Either you grew apart, or, you just didn’t like what you once did about him. At one point, everything about him/her was okay with you. Now it’s not and you can’t get over it. That’s not their fault. That’s yours. You could’ve left a long time ago.
If not, then you signed up for it, take the test. And ride until the wheels fall off, or don’t take the trip at all,

Why is the falling effigy of Beck so sad? It's just a bunch of fireworks and paper, but it fits the tone of the song perfectly. Whoever came up with the idea to film that in slow motion with all the various stages it goes through is a damn genius. Seriously that was a cool idea.

I saw this song played live by a country band (a serious country band: Cowboy hats, cowboy boots, pearl button shirts and rodeo belt buckles. Not even a sole John Deere baseball cap.) They didn't do anything to make it sound like a country song. It was a faithful cover of the song, perhaps the most faithful in tone and instrumentation I've ever heard, but the good-old-boy country crowd accepted it like a dive-bar staple, and a lot of people got up to slow dance. While the band was playing a woman handed out blown-up balloons, and when you popped the balloon you'd find a treat inside: A piece of candy, a 'round tooit' (for a free drink at the bar), a dollar bill, coupons for fast food, fortune cookies, stuff like that. It was a little surreal for a country set.

It validates my idea that Beck is a hot mess of radical conformity. Culture and counter-culture, quietly packaged as avant-garde. To be different, while demonstrating that being different really doesn't matter.

Most people hear this song and think about their ex, I hear this song and think about my mother, and how she can't change her life and leave my abusive father. I tried everything. I even suffered myself, twice - once from my father when I was a little child, and once from trying to help her to leave him. I can't convince her, I can't force her to divorce. She'll never leave him, and I must move on with my life.

The first line kills it. This sad song hooks you with the first lyrical line "Your sorry eyes, that cut through bones" which pretty much what anyone can think of their loved one. its the eyes that you will always remember. Be they a lover, child, a friend or even an unfulfilled love whom you just have to let go.

This song is about emotional betrayal - someone allowing you to invest in them when they never intended to invest themselves in you. It’s about being gaslighted - lied to by someone who strings you along with crocodile tears, but can’t be responsible at all to their own relationship. It’s when you had enough of trying to make a relationship work with a sociopath.

Omga, I just ended my relantionship because of this. I was thinking I was toxic that I was jealous, I was trying to be perfect for him, but he didnt do the same for me, he was using tinder, lying to me, I was giving so much love and he was just so immature to not being emotional responsible. I love him a lot, and I tried my best but sometimes love is not enough.

I'm glad David Cage decided to have Jody sing this song during the tribecca film festival demo. Ellen Page's voice is amazing and suits her character's situation perfectly, in turn bringing massive amounts of emotion out of her. After hearing that, now hearing this, it's easy to see how the emotion is so easily brought out with a song as tremendous as this. Thank you Beck.

This song came from the heart. It’s certainly one of Beck’s more acoustic songs, and it feels very personal and it’s about such a sad subject matter. One of my favourite songs of his, partly due to the honesty of the lyrics, its like personal insight into a love lost situation.

Great tune. Loss, in the form of love, death, etc.. will steal the spring from your step, the wind from your sails. But, loss is inevitable in life. The key is to get back up, and move on. Tough to do sometimes, but necessary. It's always up to you.

It's about surrender and the feeling of leaving something behind so loved but extremely detrimental to one's self if they stayed. Change out of necessity, not for just the sake. You could interpret or apply this song to anything and any way imaginable, because change is the constant in life and sometimes the things we hold dearest or fight blindly for no matter what it is, are not really the things or people that we thought they were.

Been dealing with my mother who has stage 4 lung cancer and brain tumors. But she has a rare or scarcely diagnosed form of dementia on top of that. Trying to help someone who lives in their own little world, especially your own mother with a terminal disease, sometimes is the hardest and biggest battle you'll ever face. I don't "fight" it anymore, but I haven't given up either. This is exactly where the saying "pick and choose your battles...." comes from. It hurts like hell, but you have to realize and understand when it's time to move on, or get stuck in a constant cycle of misery that the devil himself wouldn't wish upon anyone.

Listening to my husband (going through a divorce and now reconciling and today breaking it off) listen to this song downstairs. My heart hurts. I made mistakes. I'm sorry for them. I'm a flawed person. He is also a flawed person. He makes mistakes. I wish we could make this work. It's been 8 almost 9 years now. I am fighting for a relationship he dosen't want anymore and I think hasn't for a while. I hope one day he realizes I love him more than I love myself. With the demise of our relationship I hold onto the last but of hope there is. Hearing this song..makes my heart ache.i just want it to be better. Fixed. I want our love to be healed. I might make mistakes along the way but I would do anything. I will always choose him, even when he doesn't choose me. I love you Adam and I'm sorry I was not good enough. All I can say is I try.

I'm going through a divorce too. 6 years and a child. My love was also strong, but when time passes, we learn that we deserve to be loved. Despite all the flaws.

You wrote that you love him more than you love yourself, and I felt like crying. I suck at self care, but we do need to learn to love ourselves. If we can't love ourselves despite our flaws, no wonder others have hard time. We need to work on redirecting the love inwards, forgive ourselves more, be proud of ourselves more. You can find someone who loves you for who you are, and your heart will find a new cause.

He wrote most of the songs in one week, after ending his nine-year relationship with his fiancée, who he later found out was cheating on him. The rawness of the songs that came from that album shouldn't have and never will be recreated. ...and with his inspiration for it coming from a heart-broken tragedy like that, I don't think I'd want them to be. Even if he'd tried to continue on a similar path, it wouldn't have ever been as good.

I'm 57 years old and this man is my hero. He has managed to reach into my soul and create song after song that represents everything that I feel, think and breathe. No holds barred, no barriers, completely outside the box, FUCK THE PRODUCERS... He stuck with what he believes in... way ahead of his time and finally became main stream. His first CD was produced by him in his basement on a four track recorder. Then his PR man gave a copy to as many record stores as he could. Orders could only be taken inavance

One of the many things I like of Beck's music and videos is that they're timeless... I mean, I feel like this song was released in the early 90's but it came out in 2002... I can see myself listening to this song in the middle 90's or (Mellow Gold era, maybe) in ten years more and still will be refreshing and catchy, and the video too, like all Beck's videos. Beck is a genius... Cool music, cool videos... I want my 90's-00's back seriously!

I finally found this song after so many years, I can't explain why but the melody and the music video especially always stuck around in my head, and now that I do remember it I kinda wish I hadn't. I realized the reason it stuck around so long in my head is cause mom would always play it around the time she had divorced my dad. The reason I found it is cause I mentioned what I remembered the video looking like and she found it, and we just listened to it and cried. She mentioned she hadn't heard it in over 15 years and it just made me think. It was something else but part of me is kinda glad it happened, we bonded even further over our loss

If it wasn’t so depressing, this would be a Top 10 song ever. Simply a masterpiece. Way to go Beck!

Love this album.

Used to be the song I would always play in my headphones before jetting off to work 1500 miles from home. Relationship was dead after 3 trips.

It's easy to take talent for granted...loved Beck from his first album - dipped in and out but come back time and again to Sea Change due to the emotional depth of the songs

Thanks for the reccomendation. I watched the movie right after you told me that the soundtrack had a similar tone, and I can't thank you enough for it. It is now probably one of my favorite movies ;) cheers man.

I saw this video on cruise ship/vacation...sort of changed my whole life in a way...kinda hypnotized me... poignant yet comforting cause I felt the exact same way at the time...one of the amazing videos I've ever seen

Ross Heathorn

This is one of those timeless tunes that will always sound good. I forgot about it and remembered it and it is still as good as 1st time I heard. I'm tired of fighting, fighting for a lost cause. My best beck tune by far. I got some ruff acoustic tunes on here put in Ross Heathorn merry go round or Ross Heathorn dance all night or tides or another day. Be nice 4 feedback people peace and love x

Sipping an ice cold cane sugar 𝒞𝑜𝒸𝒶-𝒞𝑜𝓁𝒶 with tequila and lime; while Lost Cause is playing from an unlicensed Mexican radio station at a fuel stop convenience store, in a hot two road southern Arizona town in the middle of nowhere.

Nossa que música linda ! nostalgia

I think mellow gold was groundbreaking for its time. He had some great follow ups like mutations and guero. But sea change was his masterpiece

His Sea Change album reminds me of when I would drive 17 from Myrtle Beach to Charleston and back. Perfect weather. Window down. Beck playing on the stereo. No worries.

"Your sorry eyes cut through the bone" Jeesh, Beck, those words cut right to the core of me!

Love this song

One of the most magnificent video ideas that really jerks your heart strings. It's like Beck's very heart is exploding and nothing can stop his free-fall.

Mark Wô'Jama

So describable! Sensational, amazing the ways that you translate about feeling that we feel! You're awesome man!

This was the last song me and my best friend listened to before I found her overdosed on fentanyl. I tryed everything in power to save her but it was too late! RIP Katie! I love you!

You know how is it...when you feel just soooo identified with a song...that you can't help but listen to it over and over and over...That's what Lost Cause did to me...
