“Dying In The Moment” by FNF – A Song Feature

 

     The intro of the song from FNF is reminiscent of 1960s Psychedelia, and most particularly the Beatles’ processing during “Tomorrow Never Knows,” which is on the “Revolver” album. Following the intro “Dying In The Moment” launches into the band’s twist on the sound of The 1975 - the heavy drumming is a clear improvement. Then, during the chorus, the shouts of “Oh, oh, oh, oh” have a feel of Walk the Moon.
 
      FNF is from Portsmouth, UK. In talking about “Dying In The Moment”, they explained, “We wrote this song about being stuck inside your own head.”

Lyrics of “Dying In The Moment” by FNF
It’s always over before it begins
I see the moment and then I get locked out
And you said, “Hey Mate,
Are we still running as fast as we can?”
Fast as we can
 
And how I got here I’ll never know
And all my footsteps are covered over
And you said, “Hey Mate,
You keep looking around for it
But you’ve already got it”
 
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I’m always dying in the moment
I turn upside down
In the here and now
Every time
 
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I’m always living in my own head
‘Cause I’m too shy to dance
And my life keeps passing me by
 
I wrote the words in the back of a book
Whispered your name after all the lights died
And you said, “Hey Mate,
What are you running from?
What are you so scared of?”
 
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I’m always dying in the moment
I turn upside down
In the here and now
Every time
 
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I’m always living in my own head
‘Cause I’m too shy to dance
And my life keeps passing me by
 
It’s like I’m broken inside
 
How I got here I’ll never know
And all my footsteps are covered over
Why are we still
Running as fast as we can?
 
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I’m always dying in the moment
I turn upside down
In the here and now
Every time
 
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I’m always living in my own head
‘Cause I’m too shy to dance
And my life keeps passing me by
 
It’s like I’m broken inside
