about

One of their oldest songs (written back in 2017), the lyrics are somewhat prophetic in bringing to light how the majority of us are feeling while in lockdown/isolation, particularly with the opening lines, ‘Four walls closing in, tightness grips across your chest, irrational feelings, can’t quite put my finger on, not quite doom, but something’s impending’.

With a toms-driven beat driving the grungy bass attack, all complementing the powerful vocal delivery of vocalist Nathan Vasey, it’s a relatively simple approach which shifts gear at the song’s crescendo, employing a barrage of synths and textures to bring together a thick, full conclusion.

lyrics

Four walls closing in
Tightness grips across your chest
Irrational feelings
Can’t quite put my finger on
Not quite doom
But something’s impending
Autumn sheds melancholic light
Feels familiar like
I’ve been there before
In times long past
A part of me’s stuck way back

(chorus)
When this weight
Never existed
Before the weight of the world
Guts are in knots
Counting the cost
Something’s been lost

And when you’re falling down
With wings you’ll get back up
