Dopamine 04:34
My tired eyes, in the dark, remain pried; Circadia’s a long ways down the line. The quiet life’s a lot of sleepless nights, So hear me as I slowly lose my mind. Dopamine, Don’t you mislead me; Because, when you cry, I’m bound to hear the call. Oh, dopamine, Don’t you deceive me; Or one day you must watch me as I fall. My appetite puts up a fight, And gives way to insatiable thirst. The water’s clean and free of amphetamine, And I can’t tell if it’s for better or for worse. Dopamine, Don’t you mislead me; Because, when you cry, I’m bound to hear the call. Oh, dopamine, Don’t you deceive me; Or one day you must watch me as I fall. Dopamine, Don’t you mislead me; Because, when you cry, I’m bound to hear the call. Oh, dopamine, Don’t you ever leave me; Or one day you must watch me as I fall.

Even Anarchy 04:24
It’s all in your head, Tangled in thread, A mountainous fire Roaring over an angel choir In the dark, In the street-lit park, On the side of the road, Between your shoulders, you know. It’s all in your mind ‒ So many days, so unkind; Others pure asinine, Each one distinct in design: Living dreams, Fluttering snowflakes through trees. What a magnificent place, Marooned in deep outer space. Picture yourself in a different place ‒ about a hemisphere away ‒ Would you go home or would you stay? It seems to me that even anarchy is but a matter of design. I guess it’s only a matter of mind. It’s a wave. We’re radiation slaves In a maze, In a passing phase. Don’t ask why. Go on and live your life. No need to senselessly pry. The least we can do is try. Picture yourself in a different place ‒ about a hemisphere away ‒ Would you go home or would you stay? It seems to me that even anarchy is but a matter of design. I guess it’s only a matter of mind.

about

Dopamine is Age Nowhere's debut single done the old-fashioned way, with B-side "Even Anarchy" accompanying A-side "Dopamine."

"Dopamine" was inspired by singer/songwriter Paul Monnin's lifelong struggles with insomnia, and pays tribute to a world full of restless stirrers, late-night contemplators, and quick-twitch-fix seekers.

B-side "Even Anarchy" shares its A-side's broad theme of mental health, drawing lyrical inspiration from transcendental meditation, cognitive dissonance, and societal alienation.
