about

This song started out as a simple, minimalistic instrumental that we produced into a full track after doing a couple of different iterations of the vocal melody and lyrics. It took the least amount of time to go from idea to finished product, and settled very quickly into a particular sound that we were trying to achieve. It was one of the more difficult songs to place in the track listing, but we ended up deciding it would make a good relaxing break for the listener between Foregone Conclusion and Yeti. It’s the only song that doesn’t feature acoustic drums or bass - the only analogue instruments on the track are the vocals and the background acoustic guitar. We had some trouble naming the track as there’s a conflict with a Biffy Clyro song that we love, but we ended up deciding that we couldn’t really name it anything else given the lyrical context.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Autumn came too fast upon us
Blanketing the streets in cold
Oh, this world of wonder
Watch it form a ring of frost
Around it's neck

Do you feel a chill in the air
Can you see a thing through the snowfall
Watching my breath form an oath
To never feel this cold again

[Chorus 1]
All night I see you trapped under the ice
Holding your breath
Until the thaw arrives
But I'm inclined
To just walk away

[Verse 2]
Reaching out for love's reminder
Numbness dulls that touch of yours
Shoulder cold as winter
Warning we should quit
Before we catch our death
Out from the lungs does it spread
Black with the frostbite to limbs end
Immune to the touch of the sun
And through it all we fall again

[Chorus 2]
Desperately cutting away at the ice
Hoping to get to the warmth inside
Before we lie cold
