Idle Hands

“Vienna Vienna is unapologetically himself in his music, infusing vibrant energy into his relatable, anthemic lyrics.” - CONSEQUENCE

“Vienna Vienna’s sound is melody-forward, built on a foundation of shimmering reverb, electric guitar riffs full of personality, and juicy hooks lathered in witty playfulness, and ultimately, empowerment.” - ALT PRESS

Idle Hands

Rising Glimmer Rock artist Vienna Vienna returns with his bold new single, “Idle Hands,” out today via PULSE Records and Pete Wentz’s DCD2 Records. Marked by sardonic wit and sonic flair, the track sees Vienna Vienna continuing to blur the lines between humor and honesty, crafting his most vibrant and unpredictable release yet.

Blending an upbeat 80s pop feel with modern indie rock influences, “Idle Hands” pulses with playful synths, heartbeat drums, distorted guitars, and infectious hand claps. The result is a vibrant, chaotic groove underscored by sardonic lyricism - anchored by the hook, “My idle hands keep me occupied all the time / I failed to launch like the rocket man in my mind.”

Throughout the song, Vienna Vienna unleashes a stream of surreal, self-aware verses juxtaposing absurdist humor with existential bite. It’s a track that captures the restless motion of modern life, equal parts cathartic and tongue-in-cheek.

When asked about the inspiration behind the song, Vienna Vienna shared, “Change lies at your footsteps, not your fingertips. The connection you hope to find is out ‘there’, and trust me it’s worth it. So when you’re done trying to change the heart and mind of a guy with an anonymous profile pic let me know. We’re building a community over here and we’d genuinely love to have you ”

“Idle Hands” follows Vienna Vienna’s recent single “Company Hunting,” a shimmering, 1975–esque track co-written with hitmaker Justin Tranter (Chappell Roan, Imagine Dragons, Julia Michaels, Justin Bieber). That release showcased his ability to turn personal narratives into bold, hook-driven statements, an energy that continues to evolve with this latest offering.

Fans should keep their ear to the ground for more new music and tour dates to come.

-Vienna Vienna

Too bad the bastards got you, the bastards got you

You're really gonna stick it to 'em

Hey man, the western fronts you, the western fronts you

The freedom to get jiggy with it

You know the muse just speaks and your fingers tweak

And you're any devil's plaything Too bad the bastards got you, the vampires want you They want, want, want, want

[Pre-Chorus]

One, two, three, everybody do the ketamine

• Everybody with the OCD
• You did it, you got it
• You did it, you got it
• [Chorus]
• My idle hands
• Keep me occupied all the time

I fail to launch But I'm the rocket man in my mind

[Verse 2]

I'm not buying that tiny violin, they're gonna give it to me

I love living in a simulation 'cause

I can cherry-pick the information

It's my birthday and I'd like to start again

They're gonna give it to me 'cause i'm important, I'm so important

And I support it, I, I support it

[Pre-Chorus]

And one, two, three, everybody do the policy

• Everybody breaking off their piece
• You did it, you got it
• You did it, you got it
• [Chorus]
• My idle hands

Keep me occupied all the time I fail to launch

But I'm the rocket man in my mind

[Chorus]

My idle hands Keep me occupied all the time I fail to launch

But I'm the rocket man in my mind (Rocket man)

• [Outro]
• You did it, you got it
• You did it, you got it
• Idle Hands
