Zen (with K.Flay & grandson)

Zen
X Ambassadors Lyrics

Someone gimme fucking zen
Someone gimme fucking zen

Someone gimme fucking zen
Someone gimme fucking zen
Gimme fucking zen
I need something to avoid all of my fears and paranoia
Give me, give me
Someone gimme fucking zen

Gimme an appetite
Gimme hope for the afterlife
Or a reason to look past tonight
Gimme happiness when I found the fame
Gimme music that doesn't all sound the same
Gimme something that I can look forward to
Gimme humans that I can get closer to
You look down at me but the next thing you know it's you
With the rent overdue
Gimme a little bit of piece of your peace of mind
Gimme a piece of yours, you'll get a piece of mine
Gimme something to do when there nothing to do
But when I get it, shit, I'll probably just fuck it up too
Gimme two steps to the left
Gimme one step to the right
Give me one dance with the volume at ten

And someone anyone gimme fucking zen
Someone gimme fucking zen
Gimme fucking zen
I need something to avoid all of my fears and paranoia
Give me, give me
Someone gimme fucking zen

Give me hope for something better
Give me justice for my cries
Tell me we're all in this together
And if we're not then tell me lies
Give me love, give me WiFi
Give me drugs, get me sky high
Gimme headspace, set my head straight
Cut the dead weight, burn the red tape
Give me the good old days from seven days ago
Let me go outside again
Give me life
Give me peace
Give me noise

Someone gimme fucking zen
Someone gimme fucking zen
Gimme fucking zen
I need something to avoid all of my fears and paranoia

Give me, give me
Someone gimme fucking zen

"Zen" is a song by X Ambassadors, K.Flay, and grandson about the desire for inner peace and a break from the chaos of daily life. The opening lyrics reference the need for a variety of distractions in order to maintain mental stability, from groceries and booze to FaceTime calls with friends and little drips of CNN for news. The chorus repeats the plea for zen, emphasizing a need for something to avoid feelings of fear and paranoia.

The song touches on a range of topics that contribute to feelings of anxiety and uncertainty, including the pandemic, social isolation, and political division. The verses mention the longing for physical contact and connection with others, as well as a desire for something to look forward to. The bridge sings about the need for hope and justice, with a plea for love, drugs, headspace, and a return to the good old days.

Overall, "Zen" is a song about a yearning for calm in a chaotic world, and the desperate search for anything to provide relief from the stresses of modern life.

Give me groceries and booze, give me FaceTime with my friends
I want the essentials and the pleasures in life and to connect with my loved ones through technology.

Give me intravenous news, little drips of CNN
I want to stay up to date with what's happening in the world, but only in small doses.

Give me meditation apps, text me pictures of your dog
I want to practice mindfulness and see something cute to distract me from stress.

Give me life, give me peace, give me noise
I want to experience all that life has to offer, find inner calm, and enjoy excitement.

Someone gimme fucking zen
I need a way to find inner peace and tranquility amidst chaos.

Give me space At least six feet
I need room to breathe and stay safe during the pandemic.

Dig my grave just as deep
I'm feeling overwhelmed and anxious, like I'm in a deep hole.

I got sex on my mind all the time, fuck Scrolling through the internet time suck
I have sexual desires and spend too much time on the internet to distract from loneliness.

I've been feeling flat like a pancake I could use a hug or a handshake I could use some drugs or a Band Aid
I'm feeling emotionally low and need physical or chemical comfort.

Cooped up in a hole I wanna lose all my control I wanna just go on a rampage
Being stuck inside is making me feel trapped and wild, like I want to break free and cause chaos.

Give me wisdom, give me teeth Give me vision, let me see Give me courage to confess Every night I text my ex
I want clarity and insight, to see the truth and confess my feelings to my past love.

Give me girls Give me boys Give me life Give me peace Give me noise
I want to experience different kinds of love and excitement in life.

Gimme an appetite Gimme hope for the afterlife Or a reason to look past tonight
I want to feel hunger for life and something to look forward to beyond the present.

Gimme happiness when I found the fame Gimme music that doesn't all sound the same Gimme something that I can look forward to Gimme humans that I can get closer to
I want to appreciate my success and unique experiences, and connect with people through meaningful interactions and creative expression.

You look down at me but the next thing you know it's you With the rent overdue
Don't judge me, because you could easily find yourself in my position struggling to make ends meet.

Gimme a little bit of piece of your peace of mind Gimme a piece of yours, you'll get a piece of mine Gimme something to do when there's nothing to do But when I get it, shit, I'll probably just fuck it up too
I want to share emotional and mental stability with others and find purpose, but may struggle with self-sabotage.

Gimme two steps to the left Gimme one step to the right Give me one dance with the volume at ten
I want to dance freely and lose myself in the moment.

Give me hope for something better Give me justice for my cries Tell me we're all in this together And if we're not then tell me lies
I want to believe that the future will be brighter and that society is fair, even if it's not always true.

Give me love, give me WiFi Give me drugs, get me sky high Gimme headspace, set my head straight Cut the dead weight, burn the red tape
I want to prioritize connection, technology, and pleasure while also focusing on mental clarity and progress.

Give me the good old days from seven days ago Let me go outside again
I miss the simpler times of just a week ago when I could freely enjoy the outdoors without fear.

Someone gimme fucking zen
I still need a way to find inner peace amidst chaos.

I need something to avoid all of my fears and paranoia Give me, give me
I want to escape from my own anxieties and find a sense of security and stability.

Give me life Give me peace Give me noise
I want to embrace all the ups and downs of life while finding inner calm.
