About Rapture

"Rapture" is the eighth track from Declan McKenna's second studio album "Zeros". In an interview with Apple Music, he revealed the following about the song: "This was one I sat down and wrote very quickly. It leads in from that end-of-days thing, and it’s a bit more direct than ‘Twice Your Size.’ It’s a similar vein, but a bit more scary, but also more danceable. It’s talking about fear of the future, because it’s this torment and being told that stuff isn’t real by some and that’s it’s an ever-present threat by others .

Rapture Lyrics

Jet black, jet black
Jet black, jet black (woo)
Jet black, jet black
Jet black, jet black
Jet black, jet black
Jet black, jet black
Jet black, jet black
Jet black, jet black
At first, you'll find
A prophecy of what could've been, you know (you know)
You know, there's all sorts of crap on the TV these days
Now you won't live after such disaster
You're a lot full of smashed-up cars
Crosshatched in the metal when you're cracking up
But you're part of the pack up
You're part of something bigger than the laws of nature
Mrs. Thatcher
Your cruel heart navigates the world we live in
With its anger
Going nowhere, coming at you
Rapture in my head
I keep looking up like I'm already dead
Rapture, oh my Lord
I've been playing catch up, I'm already bored
La, la, la-la, la
La, la-la-la-la, la, la-la, la
Well, don't tell me I sure am on the list
How can you make yourself so scarce from someone you love?
Oh, it don't make sense
Your love is never better than the morning after (morning after)
Bye, Mother Nature, goin' at your
Rapture in my head
I keep looking up like I'm already dead
Rapture, oh my Lord
I've been playing catch up, I'm already bored
Rapture in my head
I keep looking up like I'm already dead
Rapture, oh my Lord
I've been playing catch up, I'm already bored
(Oh, rapture)
(Oh, rapture)
(Oh, rapture)
(Oh, rapture)
'Cause it's a rapture in my head
You said this is all, I'm already dead
Rapture in your head
You said stop, I'm already dead
Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
I'm already dead
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Jet black, jet black
Jet black, jet black
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Jet black, jet black
Jet black, jet black
Jet black, jet black
Jet black, jet
