Getaway Plan 02:38
We're talking again (but it's wrong) I'm leaving again (you should come) No one is there to bring us down tonight Falling on my head Straight into my bed Everybody's waiting for the getaway plan This is all I am I don't think I can Everyone's waiting for the getaway plan I'm running again (you're gone) We're singing to them (for too long) No one is here to bring us down tonight Falling on my head Straight into my bed Everybody's waiting for the getaway plan This is all I am I don't think I can Everyone's waiting for the getaway plan
2.
Drive down for the weekend No one's calling back I don't blame them Say you have your night planned Thanks for calling back I understand Fever on the weekend No one's asking how I'm feeling Find me when the bars close I'm not going far Took the wrong road See you in the next town I won't say hi But I'll see you around Fever on the weekend No one's asking how I'm feeling No one's asking so no one's telling I'm just so shot it's overbearing
3.
Facedown 01:06
Do you know what hurts the most? You're getting harder to be found I should've known you're lying facedown all alone When do I compromise Maybe this time you'll be all right But of course they find you facedown all alone They're saving for you Waiting for you To be sure There's so much more But they're wrong, your heart is gone
4.
Sometimes we follow Roads never ending Feels like I know You'll never show One more lie (I don't think you understand) It feels right (But not enough to make it last) Cut all corners Drive all night Sometimes we swallow Words feel like razors Feels like I know You'll never show One more lie (I don't think you understand) It feels right (But not enough to make it last) Cut all corners Drive all night
5.
I saw the way they cried (I wasn't there) could barely speak that night (It's hard to care) Too high might just die (And you'll be there) You know I've realized (I'm just scared) I'm so fried I could die It feels nice I'm never thinking twice (Should I care?) For once in your life (Just be here) Too high to say goodbye (Like you care) You know I've realized (I'm just scared) I'm so fried I could die It feels nice
6.
I drove us off the road I've got my reasons I know it's all for show A well kept secret Finally I've put it aside Done thinking of all those times in your bed It seems like I'm falling downward into you tonight I've lost enough to know I kept the pieces I love when we're alone My well kept secret Finally I've put it aside Done thinking of all those times in your bed It seems like I'm falling downward into you tonight Telling my secrets tonight Losing my reason to hide
7.
Sanatorium 01:44
Sitting in an empty home Waiting by the telephone Thinking about the times you tried Don't look back it's suicide Sanatorium
8.
I've been feeling not so good It feels like I'm nearly at the end Cars keep passing by It keeps me up at night I think that I'm finally turning over I've been feeling for you now It feels like we're nearly at the end Like a song you've grown to like You're feeling all right I've been feeling not so good (good enough) I wish that I could never speak again Talk me through the night Thanks for stopping by I think that I'm finally turning over I've been feeling for you now It feels like we're nearly at the end Like a song you've grown to like You're feeling all right I will never see it now I'll never see their smiles and cries Never feel it again
9.
The friends we made might as well be be paid But we don't have enough It won't go very far They don't care who we are My last regret was on the day you left When I said "I'm not enough" I don't know if that's true I don't know if it's you We don't even talk most days Cause everyone's so fucked up You should be on your way Placing bets on the night we met Seems so long ago I wonder where you are Bet you aren't very far I never meant anything I said But ya know, I gotta go I can't do this now I don't even know how We don't even talk these days 'Cause everything's so fucked up I'm making myself proud 'Cause I don't even miss you now
10.
Looking for a place to run to Seeing things unnoticed before Head stands cloud my empty mind I'm falling out again It's always on my mind It's killing me inside With Howie on the brain Tonight I'm fine Looking for a place to run to Somewhere we haven't been before I can't sleep with a cloudy mind I'll stay awake instead It's always on my mind It's killing me inside With Howie on the brain Tonight I'm fine Think of a place we can go to A place we've never been before Clouding up my empty mind I lie awake again Howie on the brain It's driving me insane With Howie on my mind Tonight I'm fine
11.
You walk the lines until they're gone It's not a lot to say you're wrong We laugh a lot, we're feeling dumb We're not around when the day comes When it goes out I'll know I'm alive I sold my soul to laugh a lot The feeling's old But all at once the feeling's gone And I'm just waiting on someone We watched it burn out in the cold We spun a lie, it was never told It's all for fun until it's not The road I'm on it seems so slow When it goes out I'll know I'm alive I sold my soul to laugh a lot The feeling's old But all at once the feeling's gone And I'm just waiting on someone You walk the lines until they're gone It's not a lot to say you're wrong It's all for fun until it's not The life beyond it seems so close When it goes out I'll know I'm alive I sold my soul to laugh a lot The feeling's old But all at once the feeling's gone And I'm just waiting on someone
12.
It's not so easy being all alone There is no reason for me coming home It's not that simple leaving it all behind But that's the way it crumbles It's not that easy talking on the phone It's just too simple being weak and numb There is no reason for me to be home Its just the way it crumbles

about

Nihilistic Easyrider is the brainchild of Narrow Head frontman Jacob Duarte—but make no mistake, he’s not going solo. DELUXE EDITION is a mixtape of sorts, a collection of songs written at various intervals throughout Duarte’s career. These songs traverse a wide-range of stylistic references, from saccharine Y2K emo and young-dumb-and-full-of pop punk to Soviet fuzz fueled alt and pure Evan Dando-core verse-chorus-verse-chorus-done pop rock. Brought to life by a cast of characters including Narrow Head drummer Carson Wilcox, producer (and former tour-mate) Graham Hunt and features from Momma’s Allegra Weingarten and Etta Friedman, this debut album still provides with masterfully crafted and hook-drenched renditions of Duarte’s signature songwriting aesthetics.

These songs wade in the same messiness of romantic misfires and burnt brain synapses that longtime Narrow Head listeners have come to know and love, just from a different, new perspective. Duarte’s tales of loneliness, anticipation, and life’s mired complexities on songs like “Getaway Plan” and “Well Kept Secret” are surrounded by a vibrant backing cast of drone-bee synth swells, barroom piano stabs, rattling acoustic guitars, and tribal-tat coded record-scratch aesthetics that subtly nod to both Incubus’ hardest moments and Deftones’ softest.

With DELUXE EDITION, Duarte provides us with diaristic vignettes of a life in perpetual motion, offering a more introspective view into the preoccupations of a songwriter whose life revolves around the stage but is ultimately lived elsewhere. To Jacob, “Nihilistic Easyrider songs are closer to the music I always wanted to make growing up,” he says, “a personal diary of growing up through music.”
