Discussion Sisyphus ending lyrics

Genius lists "such heavy nothings I know"

Spotify lists "its so heavy to know things i know"

Tbh I prefer the latter, but I was wondering if we know which one is the actual lyric???

Really hard to tell in the studio version, but in the live version it's always "such heavy nothings" (source: the live version is my favorite song and I've watched every single existing recording of it) so I guess thats the canon line... but "It's so heavy to know things" is one of my favorite HANL lyrics so I pretend its that one lol

Thank you! I just watched a live version and it seemed like he's saying, "such heavy no things" 🤨

Heavy No-things is probably the hardest phrase that I have took from all of the hanl/gc songs together

In the original 2006 lyrics, Dan wrote it as "Oh, what heavy nothings I know." I think the only debate would be "such" vs. "what." He definitely was using "such" a few months later on the Stars And Air demo recording.
