Papa Roach Drop Cathartic ‘Cut the Line,’ Announce ‘Ego Trip’ Album Release Details
Dating back to their breakout track "Last Resort," Papa Roach have had a knack for delivering a catharsis to fans by putting some of their inner most anxieties into words. That tradition continues with the new song "Cut the Line," which comes off as a rallying cry for those keeping things buried inside.
"Are you tangled up inside / Is it something that you hide? / Are you twisted up and don't know why? / Are you stuck inside your head / Like I'm stuck inside my head / If you listen to the voice inside / Ka-ka-ka-cut the line / Cut the line," sings Jacoby Shaddix in one portion of the song.
The track has officially hit streaming services and a video will be serviced for the song this Friday (March 4) at 1PM ET / 10AM PT. For now you can hear the song streaming via the Spotify player below, while the video player will be active once the clip is live.
Papa Roach, "Cut the Line" Lyrics (Per AZLyrics.com)
Are you tangled up inside
Is it something that you hide?
If you listen to the voice inside
Ka-ka-ka-cut the line
Cut the lineAre you trapped up in your thoughts?
Tied up in knots?
Dying to find a way out?
When there's nobody around
And you're melting down
It seems like you need to reach outIs there something that you wanna say?
Is there something that you wanna say?
Is there something that you wanna say?
Is there something that you wanna say?Are you tangled up inside
Is it something that you hide?
Are you twisted up and don't know why?
Are you stuck inside your head
Like I'm stuck inside my head
If you listen to the voice inside
Ka-ka-ka-cut the line
Cut the lineAre you stumbling with your words
Sometimes it hurts
'Cause you don't have a way to speak out
Are you terrorizing yourself?
Terrified of that hell?
I wish you would just make a soundIs there something that you wanna say?
Is there something that you wanna say?
Is there something that you wanna say?
Is there something that you wanna say?Are you tangled up inside
Is it something that you hide?
Are you twisted up and don't know why?
Are you stuck inside your head
Like I'm stuck inside my head
If you listen to the voice inside
Ka-ka-ka-cut the line
Ka-ka-ka-cut the lineAre you tangled up inside
Is it something that you hide?
Are you twisted up and don't know why?
Are you stuck inside your head
Like I'm stuck inside my head
If you listen to the voice inside
Ka-ka-ka-cut the line
Ka-ka-ka-cut the line
