about
“Yellow Press” is the second single from Ant Antic’s upcoming second album “Good Vids, Vile Times”. Expanding on the ideas set out in the previous single “Slow Down”, the vibe is now distinctively more melancholic and laid-back. Again, the song’s main theme is an outright serious one. In a brutally honest and relatable way, the Berlin-based artist observes how it feels to begin advertising his own life to other people.
“I’m a bag of hot air”, singer and producer Tobias Koett admits, quick to add “Feel like a millionaire”. In a monologue to a person he loves, he consistently stays in the role of an imposter, knowing that his vis-à-vis can’t be fooled by any show he puts on and sees the emptiness behind the facade. Emotionally numbed from an overabundance of junk information, he’s trying to catch the attention of the humans around him with the real-life equivalent of clickbait. Behind the meticulously crafted presentation, however, the relentless wheels of the attention economy have crushed everything there is, leaving nothing but emptiness and anxiety.
Ant Antic’s second album “Good Vids, Vile Times” will be released in 2020.
lyrics
Hey my love,
lately I’ve been drowning deep
in melancholy too many times
My love,
you pull me closer
What a good time to be alive
Hey my love,
lately I’ve been carrying around
heavy baggage too many times
My love,
you read me like the yellow press
I'm a bag of hot air
Push me up density
Feel like a millionaire
Don’t bring me down gravity
I'm a bag of hot air
Push me up density
Feel like a millionaire
Don’t bring me down gravity
Hey my love
lately I’ve been way too good in
bending way too deep too many times
My love,
I trigger you to
trigger me to trigger my denial
Hey my love,
lately you’ve been digging deeper meanings
when I’m an open file
My god you read me like the yellow press
For you I go, for you I go up & down
For you I go, for you I go up & down
I'm a bag of hot air
Push me up density
Feel like a millionaire
Don’t bring me down gravity
I'm a bag of hot air
Push me up density
Feel like a millionaire
Don’t bring me down gravity
