about

"I Can't Win" is the first single to release from Angel's debut album, Midnite Heart Attack (out 9/9 on Ruzafa Records.) The 9 track album was recorded with Philadelphia based producer Brian McTear and Amy Morrrisey and features players from The War On Drugs. "I Can't Win" features drum machines, overdriven electric guitars, feedback, powerful vocal melodies, harmonies, and punchy production. While the infectiously catchy melody plays like a breezy sing-along— the content tells the story of crippling anxiety, indecision, and confusion.

lyrics

I can’t win
I can’t win
Please lord
Do me in
And I can’t win

I can’t lose
I can't lose
Please don’t make me
Beg and choose
And I can’t lose

And the lonely song just made me crazy
The lonely hum just makes me blue
They tell me get to work but I am lazy
And the truth
I’m blue thinking of you

And I can’t climb
I can’t climb
I can’t run the race
And walk the mile
And I can’t climb

I can't see
I can't see
What this mans been doing to me
And I can’t see

And oh,
I don’t know which way
I’m going
The signs all point
It’s all the same
I blink and then I sink
Into the ocean
And the truth
Any day not today

And I can't lose
I can't lose
Please don’t make me
Beg and choose
And i can't lose

I can’t cry
I can’t cry
When I see the world it passes by
And I can’t cry

And oh, will I make it up to heaven
The signs all point it’s all for change
How long until I sink into the ocean
And the truth,
Any day not today

Do you wanna take a ride in my
Callous arms
I’ll take you where you wanna go
round and round
On my carousel

Cause oh, I don’t know
Which way I’m going
The signs all point
It’s all the same
I blink and then I sink
Into the ocean
And the truth
Any day, not today
