about

The final song of the EP is about breaking from the mediocrity of the working life and building a new world. The cyclical groove of the song emulates multiple attempts of escape and the swift changes of small successes. The lyrics speak about reaching back to the innocence and freedom of years past, and how this is only achievable through working together with oneself and others. The song explodes in a sonic destruction of the structure and melancholy of adult society, and from under the rubble, we are thrust into a new opportunity to do things right.

lyrics

This is not the first time
But it just might be the last
I've been running circles
Far too long, trying to catch up with the past

And I'm tired of hoping
I'm tired of feeling wrong
This time I'm going
Am I already gone?
I don't know why
I don't care
Don't stay, just leave me be

I won't be the one, I won't be the one
Where's the life that's promised?
The dreams of safety
We need a path
Back to reason
Take me back in time to where
Our childhood stories
Meant something
More than just words

Where did it go?

It's getting hard to tell now
When we lock our doors to friends
Are we undoing the ropes,
Or tying up their hands?

And I'm tired of hoping,
I'm tired of feeling wrong
Yeah, this time I'm going
I'm already gone
There's no going back

I won't be the one, I won't be the one
Where's the life that's promised?
A careless shelter
We need a path
Back to reason
Take me back in time to where
Our childhood stories
Meant something
More than just words

You said that if we tried
We could reach a higher light
But I can see it in your eyes
You know you lied
Now go away

As we stand here
A new beginning
A life of promise
But we just stare
We don't ask why, we don't ask why
It just begins
We start again
