Lyrics & Listen: Chaz Cardigan’s ‘Everything’s Wrong’

By  | 
Chaz Cardigan released his song and music video for “Everything’s Wrong.” The video was directed by Haoyan of America (Crumb, Cautious Clay), the accompanying video features a scanned 3D model of Chaz, coming to life.
We approached the videos as a four-part series (quadrilogy) to support Chaz’s upcoming project,” Haoyan shared. “Each subsequent video loosely relates to and builds on the previous ones. The series will touch on topics like technological hubris, infinite regress and memory.” Watch the video, below.

“Everything’s Wrong” Chaz Cardigan Lyrics:

Everything’s wrong, everything’s all wrong
and I’ve never been better

What a lovely, lovely breakdown;
I’ve been riding this for days now,
been trying to surf the wake out.
Come thru — get the fuck up out my way now.
Guess it isn’t all rosé and roses;
every day can’t be avocado toast
overpriced at a West End hotel.
Hoping my smoke signals reach the coast, oh well.
Heard I better learn my place,
heard I better learn to race
before it turns to a murder case,
‘cause it’s a crazy world —
they give you love online then hold a gun to your face.
It’s about time I felt something new,
running round my mind like an animal
looking for one good god damn excuse.
I wish I could
I wish I could just let it go
Everything’s wrong,
everything’s all wrong
and I’ve never been better.
Guess I’m just not
what I wanted all along,
but it only gets better.
I’m so over fancy language,
fitting mountains into cases
Got baggage, can’t erase this
But I know you do too, least I know my station.
Why you so fixed on being somebody
that you wouldn’t like if you met them at a party?
Why’s it so hard to keep your own opinion
and not break under pressure like a politician?
It’s about time I felt something new
Running round my mind like an animal
looking for one good god damn excuse
I wish I could

I wish I could just let it go
Everything’s wrong,
everything’s all wrong
and I’ve never been better.
Guess I’m just not
what I wanted all along,
but it only gets better.
I wish I could just let it go
Everything’s wrong,
everything’s all wrong
and I’ve never been better.
Guess I’m just not
what I wanted all along,
but it only gets better.
Everything’s wrong,
everything’s all wrong
and I’ve never been better.
Guess I’m just not
what I wanted all along,
but it only gets better, better.
