And I know I gotta be above it now/And I gotta fight my time as a face in the crowd/And I know I gotta be above it now
from Be Above It lyrics by Tame Impala
Like a stampede of, well, impalas, “Be Above It” marches with steadfast authority. Lyrically, it’s reduced to a simmering chorus, one that rides a drum roll percussion, riveting basslines and cascading synths. It is both a bold introduction and a call to action.
