Hundreds of Ways Lyrics


What a thing to be a witness to the sunshine
What a dream to just be walking on the ground
What a time to live among the ashen remnants of our love
It came before and I'm still looking for that now

It took centuries to build these twisted cities
It took seconds to reduce them down to dust
And all the tour guide could say was
“Take your pictures folks it's late, try your best please to remember what was done.†

Don't look so forlorn
Don't you look so scared
Don't get so upset
This world was never fair

But there are Hundreds of Ways
To get through the days
There are hundreds of ways
Now you just find one

I used to think that time was of the essence
Now I just wish I could get some sleep
All this strange parade of sounds the city makes when I lay down
Little explosions that set fire to my dreams

Sometimes I get mistaken for this actor
And I guess that I can see it from the side
Maybe no one really seems to be the person that they mean to be
I hope I am forgotten when I die

Don't contradict me
Don't make me cross the line
If you feel threatened
It's only 'cause I might

But there are hundreds of ways
To get through the days
There are hundreds of ways
To get through the day
Yes, there are hundreds of ways
So you best find one

All my hero's they're all talk
Running in circles
Some stop watch some cast
Love was the message. Full stop

We ramble on and on
We ramble on and on

I stole all the rhinestones out of Carolina
Sold them out in Bakersfield for cash
The bandshell got a band sounds like an arcade in Japan
Blew all my quarters trying to get that feeling back

Now any sucker can turn boredom into violence
A sociopath riding on a bus
His irises are black from his novelty contacts
He looks around but he can't see the rest of us

In my sunglasses don't mind the blinding light
Yeah it's getting dark bro, but I've always loved the night

But there are hundreds of ways
To get through the day
There are hundreds of ways
To get through the day
There are hundreds of ways
To get through the day
There are hundreds of ways
To get through the day
There are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of ways
To get through the day
Just find one

Hundreds of Ways
  • The first song to be released from Upside Down Mountain is a Country-flavored tune that finds Oberst singing about disappointment and needing to find a way to get through the day.
  • The song features backing vocals from Johanna and Klara Soderberg of the Swedish folk duo First Aid Kit. The sisters provide backing vocals for Oberst throughout Upside Down Mountain. The Bright Eyes leader previously featured on the Swedish sisters' 2012 track "King Of The World."
  • A limited-edition seven-inch of the song was released on Record Store Day on April 19, 2014.
  • The song finds Oberst addressing his own legacy:

    "Maybe no one really seems to be the person that they mean to be.
    I hope I am forgotten when I die."

    "I think a lot of times there's the sense that we have of ourselves and then there's the perception of people we interact with in the world, and those two things are not congruent," he explained to Billboard magazine. "It's a bit of a snarky line, but it's essentially saying that once I'm out of the picture I hope no one talks about me, because it won't be me they're talking about — it'll be their perception."
