From the recording The Ones Who Stole Today
Perseverance. That's what comes to mind when we think of how this track came together. We'd been playing around with it for several months under the working title 4Down but it never really came together... until one day, due to the mysteries of the ether, it did. As a track it's maybe a little darker than our usual style to this point, but its message is clear and poignant in these ever divisive times.
Lyrics
Nothing is clear
We disappear
Happiness near
Fear
Break all the rules
Big idea
Give me the tools
Here
Nothing is certain, we give ourselves
Pull out the curtains, and free yourself
Out of the dark
We go blind
Take it apart
Shine
Shot through the heart
Cut it out
Back to the start
Hide
Nothing is certain, we give ourselves
Pull out the curtains, and free yourself
Don't look back, it's a heart attack, put up a fight
Nothing is certain
Do you think I care about your lies or your cold dark stare
You win hearts and minds with your claims divine
I'm just not sure I feel
Humble me now
Terrified
Head to the ground
Tied
Bow to the crown
Play it out
Don't make a sound
Fight
Nothing is certain, we give ourselves
Pull out the curtains, and free yourself
Don't look back, it's a heart attack, put up a fight
Nothing is certain
Do you think I care about your lies or your cold dark stare
You win hearts and minds with your claims divine
I'm just not sure I feel like you need me to
I don't believe in you, I disregard and I'm deceiving you
For all you try to blame and masquerade
No support for the ones who stole today
Won't you come down
Won't you bring me down
Won't you lay down
Won't you take me down
