Ooh, i forgot to book the Lockdown thread! How is this possible? I'm so curious and eager to hear this whole thing. And to see all the native speakers guess the lyrics! The preview left me with my jaw dropped i love the atmosphere of this song. It's "different" from "regular" Ev but at the same time it sounds very familiar. Origin-ish vibe, yeah.

I can't feel you calling me I can't feel cracks between these walls But this pain has broken words (something ?) It's a high lockdown (or maybe) This is my lockdown ?
Say the words I can't face the war If I could save world ?? broken... ??
If I ... ??
Lockdown Lockdown Lockdown Lockdown
I think.

I can't feel you calling me I can't feel cracks between these walls But this pain has broken words (something ?) It's a high lockdown (or maybe) This is my lockdown ? Say the words I can't face the war If I could save world ?? broken... ?? If I ... ?? Lockdown Lockdown Lockdown Lockdown I think. I've interpreted them as such.... but the third line is unintelligible to me. I can feel you calling me I can see the crack between these walls [But this pain (as you ....?) the words that will writhe in me]? To survive, I lockdown.

After listening to the snippet with headphones I hear this:
I can('t?) feel you calling me I can('t?) see cracks between these walls But this pain has broken words that will writhe in me It's a high lockdown? (or maybe) This is my lockdown? or ?? I lockdown, lockdown, lockdown, lockdown, lockdown
Say the words (say the words) I can't face the words (face the words) If I could say the words (say the words) Everything would be broken still If I don't ??
Lockdown, lockdown, lockdown, lockdown (hee eee) Lockdown, lockdown, lockdown, lockdown It's a(?) lockdown, lockdown, lockdown (hee eee)
Obviously the italics are backing vocals. Bold text are the lyrics I'm unsure of.

This is what I hear, regarding the first part of the snippet;
But this pain has broken words that will hide in me If I, I lockdown

Say the words I can't face the war If I could save world ?? broken... ?? If I ... ?? Lockdown Lockdown Lockdown Lockdown I think. I'll try to fill in something but I can't help much: I can't feel you calling me I can't feel cracks between these walls But this pain has broken words (that surprise? Makes no sense) This is my high lockdown Say the words I can't face the war If I could save the world I could fix what's broken too(?) If I want(?) Lockdown (lockdown, lockdown, lockdown) Lockdown (lockdown, lockdown, lockdown) Lockdown (lockdown, lockdown, lockdown) Lockdown (lockdown, lockdown, lockdown)

My take on the verse.
I can (can't) feel you calling me I can (can't) see cracks between these walls But this pain, I choke on the words that were right in me I can (can't) fight high lockdown

Throwing in my own little contribution:
I think the last line of the chorus is "But I know whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" if that helps decipher the rest of the chorus at all xD

Sorry for the double post, but after thinking about the movie, its basis, and the two scenes that Lockdown was played in, I think the last line of the chorus is "But I know I'll" since the humble but haunting "lockdown"'s are after that line. Idk. It makes sense to me...

There's this "new" and "shorter" preview of the song.

There's a chorus version on this Tumblr: Say the words I can’t face the war If I could say the words Everything would be broken still…
