Dissociation Lyrics
Then I already knew
At the time I laughed
I didn't know what to believe
Couldn't stay for you
What a strange way to lose
Take you
I couldn't take you
Don't confuse being set free
With being discarded and lonely
I tried to tell you we never change
I let you go
And when I left
I really tried to tell myself
It was for me and not
It was for me and not you
Couldn't stay for you
What a strange way to lose
Finding a way to die alone
Is better than what I was shown
Finding a way to die alone
Is better than what I was shown
What a strange way to lose
(Finding a way to die alone)
Couldn't stay for you
(Is better than what I was shown)
What a strange way to lose
Finding a way to die alone
Finding a way to die alone
Finding a way to die alone
Finding a way to die alone
Finding a way to die alone
Finding a way to die alone

Weinman: “This song was written many years ago. I didn’t actually know if we would ever use it. Originally it was constructed over this little drum loop that Zach Hill [Death Grips/Hella] gave me. He just played this loop into a recorder and I took it and made a song out of it. But it wasn’t until now that we felt like it had a place in Dillinger. So it’s the last song on the album, but it’s a song that’s many years old, and I don’t know what people will take from that.”
Puciato: “It might be my favourite vocal performance on any Dillinger song ever. The verse melody is one I’ve had since I was 19, that I never did anything with. It just happened to line up with these key changes so I never forgot it. So that’s interesting as well. Everything feels like it’s come full circle.”
Weinman: “Full maturity is to get to a point where you stop blaming everybody else for everything you have or haven’t done, and you start to really look inside and take responsibility. When you get to that level where you can have objectivity on yourself and you start to think about what you can do to actually create your own destiny, that’s when you’ve matured. I think that’s representative of this song and vocal melody being super old and not having a place until now. We wanted to end the record with this statement that we get it now, and we’re ready to move on. We’ve grown up. And we’re done with this chapter.”
