The song "Waveforms" was used in the 2013 video game, Grand Theft Auto V on the "Worldwide FM" radio station.
The band released their eponymous debut album in January 2012, combining 80s pop rhythms with 60s Beach Boys-style vocal harmonies, a style that some, rightly or wrongly, have labelled folktronica.
Pause Repeat
Django Django Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Always wanna go on, there's nothing beyond
The ends of the earth that surrounds us
Drifting closer
Your lips read the word you've been saying for years
When play after day like 100 before
Constant reminder, heaven sold out
Now it won't take anymore
Pause repeat every day every scene
It's a long time since we first began
The start of the part that we both agreed on is beginning
Pause repeat every line in between
It's a long time since we first began
The start of the end is upon us
And now it's beginning again
Flammable walls that surround us
Never knew what we'd find hidden behind
Valleys of jewels of the landscape
Painting ruins
Step off the page walk away when you're done
The spotlight fading off the life we begun
Constant reminder, heaven sold out
Now it won't take anymore
Pause repeat every day every scene
It's a long time since we first began
The start of the part that we both agreed on is beginning
Pause repeat every line in between
It's a long time since we first began
The start of the end is upon us
And now it's beginning
Pause repeat every day every scene
It's a long time since we first began
The start of the part that we both agreed on is beginning
Pause repeat every line in between
It's a long time since we first began
The start of the end is upon us
And now it's beginning again
In the song "Pause Repeat" by Django Django, the lyrics explore the cyclical nature of life and relationships. The song starts with the lines "Cut out the page with the ending. Always wanna go on, there's nothing beyond. The ends of the earth that surrounds us. Drifting closer." These opening lines set the tone for the song as the singer puts forward the idea that life is a never-ending cycle. The lyrics also suggest that even though we may feel like we have hit a dead end, we are constantly drifting closer to something more significant.
The next verse, "Your lips read the word you've been saying for years. When play after day like 100 before. Constant reminder, heaven sold out. Now it won't take anymore," refers to the repetition and routine in relationships. The words the singer's partner speaks are familiar, almost robotic, and the singer has become tired of the same old routine. The allusion to heaven being sold out suggests that the idea of reaching for something more significant is a lost cause, and there is no escape from the cycle.
The chorus "Pause repeat every day every scene. It's a long time since we first began. The start of the part that we both agreed on is beginning. Pause repeat every line in between. It's a long time since we first began. The start of the end is upon us, and now it's beginning again," emphasizes the idea of repetition and routine, but also hints at the possibility of something new beginning. The start of the end suggests that a relationship has run its course, and the cycle is beginning again with a new partner or situation.

Cut out the page with the ending
Leave the past behind and start anew
Always wanna go on, there's nothing beyond
Keep moving forward, nothing can hold you back
The ends of the earth that surrounds us
The world around us is vast and full of possibilities
Drifting closer
Approaching something slowly and carefully
Your lips read the word you've been saying for years
You've been saying the same thing for a long time without change
When play after day like 100 before
Days blur together when there is no variety
Constant reminder, heaven sold out
The idea of perfection is unattainable
Now it won't take anymore
Reached the point of no return
Flammable walls that surround us
Barriers that can be easily broken down
Never knew what we'd find hidden behind
The unknown can hold unexpected surprises
Valleys of jewels of the landscape
The beauty of nature is priceless
Painting ruins
Creating something beautiful out of something damaged
Step off the page walk away when you're done
Move on from something once it's completed
The spotlight fading off the life we begun
A reminder that fame and success aren't permanent
Pause repeat every day every scene
Life can become monotonous without change
It's a long time since we first began
Time flies and it's easy to forget how far we've come
The start of the part that we both agreed on is beginning
Beginning a new phase of life with someone else
Pause repeat every line in between
Take a break and reflect on the small moments in life
The start of the end is upon us
The beginning of the end has arrived
And now it's beginning again
Starting over can be a new beginning

With almost every Django Django tune I go through the same process.
I hear it once, and think is ok.
I hear it later, I start to love it.
I hear it later, and it becomes my favorite.
Then I hear another.
