about

"Dopamine" is Age Nowhere's debut single, released in the summer of 2018.

The song 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.

lyrics

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.
