Cute, yet deadly mushrooms, weird multidimensional plumbing pipes and multicolored flying turtles are just some of the elements that inspired La Sécurité’s cryptic post-punk groover: “Try Again”. While cowbells and woodblocks dance in and out of its unique angular beat, repetitive riffs and catchy synthesizer lines ensure that listeners are hypnotized, ultimately taken into an easter egg-ridden 2D metaphysical labyrinth where psychedelic musical bliss awaits.
lyrics
One goal, so many doors
You’re cute, but you want me dead
Underground, straight ahead
Times have changed
Try again
Got so far, but didn’t make it
Hitch a ride, don’t look back
Choose wisely for a longer life
You clap your hands, I duck and hide
Who’s friend are you anyways?
Up and back over all
I watch you as you take a fall
Life doesn’t wait
Try again
I turn my head, you take a step
To trust you is a leap of faith
Don’t try too hard
Just pay attention
Dunno what the wings are for
Climb the chain
Try again
Looking fly, looking big
Living life
Try again
Jumping high, love the clouds
Punch a guy
Try again
Peakin’ out, cramp my style
Find the key
Try again
Tracking back missing money
Flowers always make me happy
Secret stars are pretty trippy
Always easier with friends
Flip a coin
Try again
Lift it up, don’t let go
Mind the gap, no coming back
Can’t kill what’s already dead
It’s not a game
I’ll play it safe
I fall apart
It’s not a game
I’ll play it safe
I fall apart
And try again

This song ticks all the boxes for me. Guitar sounds, vocals, song structure. I can't put my finger on any one factor, it all works together to make a really great song. malfunction54
