about

This was the second song written for the album, and came together more as a result of us jamming together on the main riff than traditional sit down composition. We tried to capture some of the live jam feel in the instrumental break after the first chorus. It was a challenge that really helped us break out of the constant use of 4/4, and it took some time to feel comfortable playing a whole song in 7. We originally released this as a single about a year before the album came out, but our production style and approach to mixing changed so much over that period that we decided to re record a number of the instrumental parts and re-release a new version on the self titled album.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's not what people say
Daft, or absent minded
Really you're just somewhere else
You don't have to change
Truth is where you find it
On a stage or on a shelf

[Chorus 1]
In a city of pretending
You be anything you want to be
A pirate or an astronaut
Let go and be free
You're safe and warm

[Verse 2]
This human cocoon
A place we will return to
Patiently awaits our souls
Letters on the floor
Piled up behind the door
I promise I'll get back to you

[Chorus 2]
In a town of recollection
There is everything you've ever loved
The streets are lined with all you are
Let go and catch fire
You're safe and warm
