Listen, stream, buy, mp3 download, read the lyrics and watch the animated video to “Glass Casket” by NNAMDI. The song was self-produced by NNAMDÏ.
NnamdÏ Glass Casket
NNAMDÏ‘s latest studio album BRAT arrived in April and the artist has already dropped several visuals to support the project. Now the musician has released yet another music video for his track “Glass Casket,” sharing a Stephen Smith-animated flick that sees the experimental rapper take on various fantastical personas.
Throughout the video — which premiered on Adult Swim last Saturday — NNAMDÏ transforms into over 45 different illustrations, becoming a farmer one minute, an astronaut the next and even a piece of cheese after that. The images coincide with his introspective lyrics in the song, which reflect the Chicago artist’s anticipation around being able to care for his family and loved ones.

Lyrics
[Chorus]
I wish I was a farmer
I wish I was an astronaut
So I could feed my family
And then take them somewhere far away, yeah
I wanna be a traveler
I wanna witness everything
And then bring it to my bedside
I dream about it even when I wake up
[Verse]
I think that I might’ve lost my mind
I think that I might’ve lost my mind
You don’t care about the words that I say
So I don’t care about the bird and the bees
This is something that I gotta try
This is just something that I gotta try
I don’t care about the birds and the bees
I just want you to have what you need
But, that’s how you feel
That’s how you feel, yeah
You just see failure
How could it be?
How could you think that, you should know better
Pray to the stars, pray to the moon
Pray something moves me
I can’t be swayed, no, I think it’s too late
[Chorus]
I wish I was a farmer
I wish I was an astronaut
So I could feed my family
And then take them somewhere far away, yeah
I wanna be a traveler
I wanna witness everything
And then bring it to my bedside
I dream about it even when I wake up
[Outro]
I need you need something new
Oh, I need you, need something new
I need you, need something new
Oh, I need you, need something new
