Harder
I just wanna grow and grow
UV light and crushing life
Wanna feel more and more
With you
With you
With you
With you

Uneventful Days
Uneventful days, uneventful nights
Living in that dark, waiting for the light
Caught up in these neverending battle lines
Everything has changed and nothing it feels right
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know it's gone
I know, I know, I know it's gone
Ooh yeah
Neverending days, neverending nights
Everything I say, I know I can't get right
It means definitely more to me than life
You might know my name, you don't know my mind
I don't even know what's wrong (the days without you)
Ever since you've been gone
Only ten minutes to go (leave me cold and alone)
I don't even know how
Everything that we're told
Found my way without you (no no no)
I know where we belong
(I don't wanna hurt you, I don't wanna hurt you)
Gonna leave me al-
Uneventful days, uneventful nights
Living in that dark, waiting for the light
Nothing you could say could make it come to light
I don't have a way to make you change your mind
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know it's gone
I know, I know, I know
It's gone
Yeah
Neverending days, neverending nights
Time is moving slow, I don't even mind
It means definitely more to me than life
Got nowhere to go, got nowhere to fight
Heaven's outta work now
Money getting thin now, meanwhile
Had another round up dream now
Nothing but a low down, let down
Why don't I get down, left down
What am I really down here for
Been in and out of love all night
Neverending days, neverending nights
Everything I do, you know I don't do right
I've been waiting around all night
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Living in that dark, waiting for the light
Caught up in these neverending battle lines
Everything has changed and nothing it feels right
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know it's gone
I know, I know, I know it's gone
Ooh yeah
Neverending days, neverending nights
Everything I say, I know I can't get right
It means definitely more to me than life
You might know my name, you don't know my mind

Saw Lightning
Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo
There was a day I saw lightning
There was a day I saw lightning (I saw lightning)
Hey hey hey, saw lightning
Ho ho ho, saw lightning
He he he, saw lightning
Ha ha ha
Saw windy manes
Saw mountains fall
Saw temples burn
Prison walls
Saw floods coming
Saw children run
We got no more shelter, no more sun
Then it came to me in a flash of light
By the sycamore tree in the dead of night
The bottom bell and the longest day
The hardest wind and the fallen rain
Saw lightning, saw lightning, saw lightning
I held my head up
And it struck me down
Down to the ground
It struck me down, struck me down
Struck me down to the ground
There was a day I saw lightning
There was a day I saw lightning
Hey hey hey, saw lightning
Ho ho ho, saw lightning
He he he, saw lightning
Ha ha ha
When they're named, I wonder where it go
Hold the sea, where it's sunny where I grow
One more day then daily I know
High, need trees, when it's sunny and go
More than fee, by money, I know
Pull me in, gotta start down low
Don't gotta sing, with weather I go
Partner we go
Then it came to me in a flash of light
By the sycamore tree in the dead of night
The bottom bell and the longest day
The hardest wind and the fallen rain
Saw lightning, saw lightning, saw lightning
I held my head up
And it struck me down
Down to the ground
It struck me down, struck me down
Struck me down on the ground
Hey hey hey, saw lightning
Ho ho ho, saw lightning
He he he, saw lightning
Ha ha ha, saw lightning
Saw lightning, saw lightning, saw lightning
Lord, won't you take me and lead me to the light?
Lord, won't you take me and lead me to the light?
The Lord's gonna take me and leave me in the light
The Lord's gonna take me and leave me in the light
Then it came to me in a flash of light
By the sycamore tree in the dead of night
The bottom bell and the longest day
The hardest wind or in the fallen rain
I saw lightning, saw lightning, saw lightning
I held my head up
And it struck me down
Down to the ground
It struck me down, struck me down
Struck me down on the ground
I saw lightning
I saw lightning
I saw lightning
I saw lightning
There was a day I saw lightning
There was a day I saw lightning (I saw lightning)

Die Waiting
When the sky fades out and the roads all end
I'm gonna wait on you, gonna wait on you
When the money runs out and the walls close in
I'm gonna wait on you, gonna wait on you
I don't care what I have to do
Know that I'm gonna wait on you
I don't care what I have to do
Know that I'm gonna wait on you
Coming off the feeling
Got my body reeling
Really coming off the ceiling
All my memories got me kneeling
Almost got a real thing
Almost got a new leaf
Ducking down at the new wave
Something that you're going through it
I don't care what I have to do
Know that I'm gonna wait on you
I don't care what I have to do
Know that I'm gonna wait on you
Yeah woah, yeah woah
When the sky fades out and the roads all end
I'm gonna wait on you, gonna wait on you
When the money runs out and the walls close in
I'm gonna wait on you
I can't understand why I've waited for so long
Just to walk out of the door, see the world moving on
And I lay down in the sun with the moonlight in my eyes
If it takes a lifetime, then you know I got shine, oh yeah
I don't care what I have to do
Know that I'm gonna wait on you
I don't care what I have to do
Know that I'm gonna wait on you
I don't care what I have to do
Know that I'm gonna wait on you
I don't care what I have to do
Know that I'm gonna wait on you
I'm gonna wait on you, gonna wait on you
When the money runs out and the walls close in
I'm gonna wait on you, gonna wait on you
I don't care what I have to do
Know that I'm gonna wait on you
I don't care what I have to do
Know that I'm gonna wait on you
Coming off the feeling
Got my body reeling
Really coming off the ceiling
All my memories got me kneeling
Almost got a real thing
Almost got a new leaf
Ducking down at the new wave
Something that you're going through it
I don't care what I have to do
Know that I'm gonna wait on you
I don't care what I have to do
Know that I'm gonna wait on you
Yeah woah, yeah woah
When the sky fades out and the roads all end
I'm gonna wait on you, gonna wait on you

I'm gonna wait on you
I can't understand why I've waited for so long

And I lay down in the sun with the moonlight in my eyes
If it takes a lifetime, then you know I got shine, oh yeah

Know that I'm gonna wait on you
I don't care what I have to do

I don't care what I have to do
Know that I'm gonna wait on you
I don't care what I have to do
Know that I'm gonna wait on you

Chemical
You say that love is a chemical
Feel it down to the soul
Well, well, we-well, well, well
What I really, really want to know
Is if my mind's in control
Well, well, we-well, well, well
I'm so high
Love is a chemical
I'm so high
Love is a chemical
Start it
Start it again
A random thought
A memory
A tidal wave
We met until I'm on my knees
A sudden change in everything
Don't know when I was leaving
Feeling well and free
You find love just a fantasy
Beautiful and ugly as a life can be
I don't lose any sleep honestly
Well, well, we-well, well, well
I'm so high
Love is a chemical
I'm so high
Love is a chemical
Start it
Start it again
Well, well, we-well, well, well
Well, well, we-well, well, well
I can feel it minute by minute by day
I don't want it running all night this way
Why you got to get it on my mind this way?
Well, well, we-well, well, well
Saying what I feel
What can I tell you? Don't know
Why you have to be like that?
Alligator teardrops fall
Love is a love is a chemical
Burning wears off like a chemical
I don't need anyone to turn me on
I don't need anyone, no
And when the feeling is over
There's no explanation
Shock to the system
Infatuation
Shake like a flower
Strange affirmation
Crown of illusion
Start it
Start it again
Saying what I feel (I'm so high)
What can I tell you? Don't know
Why you have to be like that? (Love is a chemical)
Alligator teardrops fall
Well, well, we-well, well, well
Love is a love is a chemical (I'm so high)
Burning wears off like it never could
I don't need anyone to turn me on (Love is a chemical)
I don't need anyone no
Start it again
Feel it down to the soul
Well, well, we-well, well, well
What I really, really want to know
Is if my mind's in control
Well, well, we-well, well, well
I'm so high
Love is a chemical
I'm so high
Love is a chemical
Start it
Start it again
A random thought
A memory
A tidal wave
We met until I'm on my knees
A sudden change in everything
Don't know when I was leaving

I don't lose any sleep honestly
Well, well, we-well, well, well
I'm so high
Love is a chemical
I'm so high
Love is a chemical
Start it

Well, well, we-well, well, well
Well, well, we-well, well, well

Hyperspace
Faster
Farther
Longer
Harder
I just wanna grow and grow
Beauty, light and crushing life
Wanna feel more and more
In hyperspace, electric life is in my brain
In hyperspace and all my nights and all my days
With you
With you
My life is hyperspace
Summer days
Out of phase
From the praise
Gamma rays
Touching base
Just in case
Tidal waves
Fueling hate
Time it takes
Overlaid
Ventilated
Take your pay
Celebrated
Let your mind disintegrate
What's going on?
I'm concentrating
Where you at?
I'm navigating
Moons a form it's all resonating
No-one can articulating
Infrastructure all outdated
This could all be a simulation
Doesn't need to be intimidated
We don't know if it's contaminated
In hyperspace and all my nights and all my days
With you
With you
With you
With you
Farther
Longer
Harder
I just wanna grow and grow
Beauty, light and crushing life
Wanna feel more and more
In hyperspace, electric life is in my brain
In hyperspace and all my nights and all my days
With you

My life is hyperspace
Summer days
Out of phase

Stratosphere
Turn me around
Vision goes with the sun
Far above the ground
Halfway to oblivion
In the stratosphere
There's nowhere to go from here
In the stratosphere
I'll be back home another year
High as the moon
Earth below to comfort me
Needle to the spoon
Strike a match and let it be
In the stratosphere
There's nowhere to go from here
In the stratosphere
Somewhere I can disappear
In the stratosphere
There's nowhere to go from here
In the stratosphere
Be back home another year
Vision goes with the sun
Far above the ground
Halfway to oblivion
In the stratosphere
There's nowhere to go from here
In the stratosphere
I'll be back home another year
High as the moon
Earth below to comfort me
Needle to the spoon
Strike a match and let it be
In the stratosphere
There's nowhere to go from here
In the stratosphere
Somewhere I can disappear
In the stratosphere
There's nowhere to go from here
In the stratosphere
Be back home another year

Dark Places
Time moves on and on and love, it goes
Now she's gone and all I see is shadows
It's two in the morning
I'm so in the moment
It's two in the morning
I'm so in the moment, oh yeah
Some days I go dark places on my own
Some days I go dark places in my soul
Come and see me
Do you need me?
Hiding deeply
In the feeling
Been so lonely
So unholy
Make me feel free
Come and let me down slow
There's a place in this world
For you and I, you and I, you and I
Hold your head up, golden girl
With you and I, you and I
Until the day we die
On and on, and on, and on, and on
On and on, and on, and on, and on
On and on, and on, and on, and on
It's you and I, and you and I
On and on, and on, and on, and on
On and on, and on, and on, and on
On and on, and on, and on, and on
It's you and I, and you and I
On and on, and on, and on, and on
On and on, and on, and on, and on
Now she's gone and all I see is shadows
It's two in the morning
I'm so in the moment
It's two in the morning
I'm so in the moment, oh yeah

Some days I go dark places in my soul
Come and see me

Star
One, two
One, two
A disappointment condition, a perfunctory prescription
Of an indigent mindset of belligerent silence
We got all we need droning out of a tin can
Thinking about the rain under the sweatshirt hood
Listen to the noise on the battery tape deck
A Judas train wreck, anonymous suspect
Hovering in carbon monoxide cremations
Loners waste away inside of vacant locations
Think tanks empty, international dream bank
Plug in my reactor to the fallout zone
The enemies' story is a lot like mine
And if you get to the point then you know better than I
Dark star like an eye that's closing
Sees through the shards from a scar that's open
Autopilot drivers riding out on the ice age
Infidels swallowed in a vanishing point
Ammunition souls shooting holes in the ozone
Widow's tears washing the soldier's bones
Sterilized egos delirium sequels
Punctured by the arrows of American eagles
Robot to teach you all the rules that delete you
Backspace my brain, my equilibrium guns
Dark star, just an eye that is closing
Sees through the shards from a scar that's open
One, two
One, two
You know what to do
One, two
A disappointment condition, a perfunctory prescription
Of an indigent mindset of belligerent silence
We got all we need droning out of a tin can
Thinking about the rain under the sweatshirt hood

Everlasting Nothing
You threw the keys to the kingdom
Over a skyscraper wall
Sowing seeds somewhere obsolete
In the everlasting nothing
It's been a long night in the slipstream
I thought I'd crash and burn if I came down
When I did I found a friend to take me home
In the everlasting nothing
Friends I've known come and go
Like a soldier with no song
Still I try to get back home
In the everlasting nothing
I woke up in a movie
Didn't know if it was my whole life
When it ended I laughed before I cried
In the everlasting nothing
And I washed up on the shoreline
Everyone was waiting there for me
Like a standing ovation for the funeral of the sun
In the everlasting nothing
Friends I've known come and go
Like a soldier with no song
Still I try to get back home
In the everlasting nothing
Nowhere child
Keep on running
Nowhere child
Keep on running
In your time you'll find something
In the everlasting nothing
Nowhere child
Keep on running
Nowhere child
Keep on running
In your time you'll find something
In the everlasting nothing
Nowhere child
Keep on running
Nowhere child
Keep on running
In your time you'll find something
In the everlasting nothing
Over a skyscraper wall
Sowing seeds somewhere obsolete
In the everlasting nothing
It's been a long night in the slipstream
I thought I'd crash and burn if I came down
When I did I found a friend to take me home

Nowhere child
Keep on running
Nowhere child
Keep on running
In your time you'll find something
In the everlasting nothing

Hyperspace is the fourteenth studio album by American musician Beck. It was released through Fonograf Records & a licensing deal with Capitol Records on November 22, 2019. It followed Beck's divorce from his wife Marissa Ribisi in February 2019. The album is a collaborative project with high-profile producer Pharrell Williams, who is credited for production and features on several songs. Recording for the album started in late 2018.
Music journalists describe the album as synth-pop and vaporwave aesthetic-inspired, though Beck draws from several genres. The album art reflects this style, featuring Beck in front of a A60 Toyota Celica, with the album's title in blocky Japanese script. Thematically, Hyperspace explores heartbreak, sincerity, solitude and Beck's relation to them. Guest vocalists for the album include Chris Martin, Sky Ferreira, Pharrell Williams, Terrell Hines, Alex Lilly and Roger Joseph Manning Jr.
Four singles were released prior to the release of the Hyperspace. Following its release Beck did a series of interviews, mainly focused on the album itself, Pharrell's contribution to the record, and Beck's creative process. In August 2020 Beck released an accompanying visual album titled Hyperspace: A.I. Exploration in collaboration with NASA JPL, featuring artificial intelligence generated space imagery and two new songs.
Hyperspace received generally positive reviews from critics, though some commented that the album is occasionally superficial and lacked the complexity of Beck's previous projects. Hyperspace received two nominations at the 2021 Grammy Awards for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. Beck won the latter.
