about

This song was pretty much the very first song written since our previous album, Seasons. I fell in love with American Football LP3 and the atmosphere of the album, and wanted to experiment with the guitars to create something like that. The title of the song is the working title, it sort of stuck with me. The more I thought about the title the more I felt I had to say about it, and instruments wasn’t enough this time. I started to write lyrics for the very first time, and it ended up being our very first song with vocals that we’ve ever made. It’s a message that those blind to what’s happening to the Earth by the way we’re treating our planet. It’s about Mother Earth, referred to as “she”, trying to show herself and that she’s in need while we keep turning our backs. She’s had enough of it and is ready to use her force to make us aware of it. 



Now, I’m not a singer and I was terrified of the thought of singing. But I trained and pushed myself far beyond my comfort zone. The sound of the vocals is inspired by Mogwai, Sigur Rós and Holy Fawn. I wanted the vocals to be like another element, like an instrument. It ended up being 12 tracks of vocals mixed together before I was satisfied. – Adam

lyrics

You're blinded by the lights,
artificial lies.
The stars are out of sight.

Open up your mind,
and let her inside.
She's never going to hide.

No matter what you say,
She knows that there's a way
to make the concrete sway.

She wants us to see,
the wounds we cannot feel.
You've turned your back and now she weeps.
