Single artwork

"Keep It Together" is a song by How To Destroy Angels, and the first single from their second release, An Omen EP.

Release

The artwork for the single was originally posted to the band's Tumblr blog on October 2nd, albeit with no indication that it was any kind of single artwork, as it reflected the general style of promotional art created for the EP. On October 4th, a page for the track was created on Amazon US, with the release date given as October 9th.

The song premiered a day before its digital release date, 8th October 2012, on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show, in an interview with Trent Reznor, and was subsequently released in streaming form on Pitchfork, Soundcloud, Tumblr and YouTube.

On October 18th, a remix for the track, the first ever official remix for HTDA, was released via Soundcloud[1], with a free download avaliable. Remixer Dave Sitek described the track as "A chance to be pushed through the veins and swarm the heart, saddled to this strange drug music … a wild trip…. I was lucky to be asked.”[2]

Lyrics

NOTE: THESE LYRICS ARE TRANSCRIBED BY EAR AND MAY BE INCORRECT

   I feel the skin that separates us start to fade
   And when I lie on top of you, I'm afraid
   I can see right through myself, crystal clear
   I am disassembling 
   I could disappear, disappear

   There is a voice inside of me, I don't know
   And all his words keep echoing a tremolo
   I've been waiting for a sign to appear
   He has a message waiting for me
   But I don't wanna hear
   I promise
   I swear
   I can't

   I can't keep it together
