About Mind over Matter

“Mind Over Matter” is the fifth song and title track of Young the Giant’s second album. The band released the track before the album as its third single, after “It’s About Time” and “Crystallized.” The track was the first song that the band wrote for the album. According to lead singer Sameer Ghadia, overcoming writer’s block for this song was a major inspiration for the rest of the album. In a short documentary, the band describes how the song and the album as a whole depict internal struggles and paralysis of the mind. .

Mind over Matter Lyrics

[00:12.78] Mind over matter
[00:14.80] Does it matter to any of us?
[00:18.90] Don't change the subject
[00:21.96] I'm heavy on your love
[00:25.44] I missed that train
[00:28.19] New York City, it rains
[00:31.99] Fly to East L.A. in big jet planes
[00:36.93] You know you're on my mind?
[00:39.90] And if the world don't break
[00:42.26] I'll be shaking it
[00:45.09] 'Cause I'm a young man after all
[00:51.87] And when the seasons change
[00:54.49] Will you stand by me?
[00:57.94] 'Cause I'm a young man built to fall
[01:04.56]
[01:16.10] Mind over matter
[01:18.32] I'm in tatters thinking 'bout her
[01:22.19] Taste my disaster
[01:25.01] It's heavy on my tongue
[01:28.52] All the lights aglow
[01:30.80] Tokyo snows
[01:34.73] Go to watch the show
[01:37.25] Curtain's closed
[01:39.90] I'm watching you this time
[01:42.72] And if the world don't break
[01:44.72] I'll be shaking it
[01:48.45] 'Cause I'm a young man after all
[01:54.92] And when the seasons change
[01:57.66] Will you stand by me?
[02:01.20] 'Cause I'm a young man built to fall
[02:06.99] (I missed that train)
[02:09.05] New York City, it rains
[02:12.58] (Fly to East L.A.)
[02:15.09] In big jet planes
[02:17.65] You know you're on my mind?
[02:20.54] (All the lights aglow)
[02:22.04] Tokyo snows
[02:25.25] (Go to watch the show)
[02:27.64] Curtain's closed
[02:30.28] I'm watching you this time
[02:33.64] Mind over matter
[02:35.31] Mind over matter
[02:39.87]
[02:42.57] You know you're on my mind?
[02:47.31]
[02:58.42] And if the world don't break
[03:01.22] I'll be shaking it
[03:04.64] 'Cause I'm a young man after all
[03:10.66] And when the seasons change
[03:13.77] Will you stand by me
[03:16.49] (Fly to East L.A.)
[03:17.68] 'Cause I'm a young man built to fall
[03:22.72] And if the world don't break
[03:26.12] Tokyo snows
[03:29.28] Go to watch the show; curtain's closed
[03:36.28] And when the seasons change
[03:39.10] Will you stand by me?
[03:42.90] 'Cause I'm a young man built to fall
[03:46.16]
