IAMX - Volatile Times

Please help this man find a light switch brother is struggling

the wallpaper wes, the wallpaper

8 year old me had immaculate music taste, thank you homestuck

I still remember all the lyrics after all these years.

Get this song back on my spotify NOW I want this version, not the other one, pleased just let me stream it on Spotify 😭😭😭

i wish i had a dollar for every volatile times amv

This song still sounds so fresh... Beautiful

this song makes me wanna run away from this city

I relate to the overall feeling of this song so much right now

I remember hearing this for the first time on How to Get Away with Murder and being haunted by it. My favourite band of all time and forever ❤❤❤❤

How to get away with murder gave this band a new fan 😘

This song makes me want to do something badass

Look at me, what have I become
I am lost I was once a gentleman
But the thief came out in my London town
So I must leave you now
But I will remember the ups and the downs
Goodbye my friends
Goodbye to the money
Adieu to the fuckers that think that it's funny
I just want to turn the lights on
in these volatile times
I just want to turn the lights on
in these volatile times
Look at me in the apocalypse
My European guilt, expecting instant fix
I imagine all the brutal services
Of ancient infidels
Of all the wounded and the crying witches
Goodbye my friends
Goodbye to the money
Adieu to the fuckers that think that it's funny
I just want to turn the lights on
in these volatile times
I just want to turn the lights on
in these volatile times
I drove through countries like a marching funeral
In the search of fools and utopias
Along the lonely roads with all the empty human souls
Filling their heavy hearts
With slum religion and Coca-Cola
Every book is read and I'm paralyzed
Every fist is clenched, but I'm so tired
Goodbye my friends
Goodbye to the money
Adieu to the fuckers that think that it's funny
I just want to turn the lights on
in these volatile times
I just want to turn the lights on
in these volatile (volatile) times

Sometimes you don't need someone to tell you it's alright. Maybe you just need someone to let you know you're right to rage at the truth of the matter.

How to get away with murder. Great show and great music

I really need more songs with this same feeling

Love this

hi... mr. darcy :)

was really into homestuck in seventh grade, this was one of my fave amvs. just remembered this song about a month ago. im a junior in highschool now but ive been looking for this song for so long and i finally found it by listening to so. many. homestuck songs and amvs but it was so worth it

Wes: Sam is Mr. Darcy.
Annalise: 😟😨😧😦😢

*✨This is my villain theme song✨*

why the hell is this album not on spotify anymore

I love this song so much. It's one of those that you can have on constant replay. :)

i miss this song on spotify

For how to get away with murder they played a lot of music from this band I was like yesss bish get ittttttrtt😭😭💙

When I hear this, I feel like starting a revolution.

IAMX had determined the fate of an entire generation with this song.
It's essentially the intro and outro of the beginning of fandoms in general.
Homestuck especially and people will look at this comment and go "uhg. Homestuck" Or gloss over this but.
what Homestuck did for the internet was show that people will unite under the absurd, silly and slowly descend into obscurity with age. Fade away, Like all things when they encounter time.
I've been through some terrible things and I'm currently going through a large amount of depression in my life, especially DUE to homestuck, so I began to look back on my past and someone sent this my way and well.
here we are.
So thank you, IAMX. You've made a song that's like a boomerang.
Once you throw it far, you might not realize that it's gonna come back until it hits you in the back of the head.
It's truly mind opening *wink*

LOOK AT ME, WHAT HAVE I BECOMEEE

U N D E R A T E D!!!!!!!!!

This is such an amazing song, honestly. It just clicked with a part of my brain perfectly. Thank you.

I'm sad that the Homestuck version got taken down.

volatile times is just about covid-19, IAMX predicted the future

I just love his voice and his music srsly I do ...

Look at me, what have I become?
I am lost, I was once a gentleman
But the thief came out in my London town
So I must leave you now
But I will remember the ups and the downs
[Chorus]
Goodbye my friends
Goodbye to the money
Adieu to the fuckers that think that it's funny
I just want to turn the lights on
In these volatile times
I just want to turn the lights on
In these volatile times
Look at me in the apocalypse
My European guilt, expecting instant fix
I imagine all the brutal services
Of ancient infidels
Of all the wounded and the crying witches
[Chorus]
I drove through countries like a marching funeral
In the search of fools and utopias
Along the lonely roads with all the empty human souls
Filling their heavy hearts
With slum religion and Coca-Cola
Every book is read and I'm paralyzed
Every fist is clenched, but I'm so tired

Listening to this on repeat during the coronavirus times.

Love this. What a hook!

Each twist reveal from the first season (I haven't finished yet) has been so fucking goooooood!!! Like holy shit idk how they get better each episode. Songs help make it :

One of Chris best songs and one of my favorite. Masterpiece!

I just want to turn the lights on
In these volatile times
:(

I love this song and the band in general, in my opinion they are way to underraited, keep it going xD

I ll play this while leaving the UK 🇬🇧 Thank U Chris! 💫🥺

i love that this song is so easy to mumble-sing with. it's very fun and lazy feeling with a pinch of going batshit insane and doing a swan dive off the handle.
(also obligatory thank you to that one lyricstuck for introducing me to this amazing song)

if I had a dollar everytime I listened to this song, I would be rich

3:24 */Presses Like 10000000001 times/*

Oh dear god… the nostalgia of not hearing this song in 6 years

My homestuck rear coming back for oc inspiration this is just life I guess

WHY ISNT THIS ON SPOTIFY

This may well be my new favorite song currently, reminds me of “Slow Hands” by Interpol. Definitely got me into IAMX, and not just because we share a nickname.

How to Get Away With Murder anyone?

Donno what the deal is with the whole remixing for the U.S. thing but a) this is the superior version b) avalanches definitely belonged on the original release and c) this is by and far peak IAMX. "Everything is horrifying and the drugs aren't working oh god"

"Adieu to the fuckers that think that it's funny
I just want(ed) to turn the lights on
in these volatile times".

This really reminds me of Holden Caulfield from 'The Catcher in the Rye'

I love this song omg😩😍❤️

I just want to turn the lights on In these volatile times

Happy to still see my trash brothers and sisters here xD

When am I going to stop pausing the episode to search for the song

Hellsing Ultimate. Nuff said.

I will remember the ups and the downs.

thanks homestuck

does anyone know the lyrics in a quiet voice (1:26 - 1:37; 3:50 - 4:08)? it's been like 6 years, i still can't make it out and google is no help at all...

M so fucking obssessed with this man Right Now

you cant fight the homestuck

Ngl I was listening to a song and immediately stopped because I suddenly remembered this. I couldn't evrn remember the title so I violently looked way below my ig collection up to 2016 or smtj 💀💀 of course when I searched it up it was related to homestuck LOL

this is the food of my soul in this boooring quarantine

It's going to be okay.
I promise, Chris

It reminds me of HTGAWM

I thought he said "goodbye to the married" 🤦

Luv the way u luv the sky

This is so fucking real

oof my soul

I was looking for this song and a bunch of homestuck stuff came up, I'm not personally a fan kf homestuck so does this song have any connection with the serie or smth?

H.T.G.A.W.M. We Are Not Friends. 😈

I just wanna turn the lights

yowza, people seem to come from homestuck?

What if the thief is our inner violence and anger. Ruining every relationship we have by showing up in a flash when you are tired or stressed.

Fighting Siths under the rain

Wow
Nice man

this song makes me wish I could take part in the revolution kdshk but sadly I'm stuck at home :(

This feels like it must be included in the Lucifer series

the fucking homestuck amv has more views than the actual song ಥ_ಥ

Good bye my friend.

Dude, this guy is beyond..which is really god. Cause the the stuff now sucks. He is classic.

This song
It says the kind of things that cross your mind when the modern world turns you from a sensitive, happy and kind human being (which we ALL are in the beginning) into an angry and/or depressed and desperate person, what with all the political and economic disarray.
Extreme violence is what you see and experience everyday. Maybe not you, maybe not today. But someone does. Every day, somewhere. And you can't fix it.
Just some thoughts ig
