about

This track, written within the confines brought about by Covid, is a result of the frustration that was synonymous with that period over the last couple years. It's about longing for those days outside with friends, with no restrictions or limits. It has a sort of nostalgic sound to it so that lyrical message came naturally.

The lyrics that sign off the vocals near the end of the track are not contesting the lockdown in general, but the way it was handled near the end when it seemed that senseless decision after senseless decision was being made that affected all of us in truly demoralising way.

lyrics

Some time,
What I'd give away for some time,
And blue skies,
What it takes to go away and summarise,
All the reason why you feel little inside

Nose dive,
Into decisions that don't make us feel alive,
It's not enough to say our hands our tied,
When we could have had the keys if you'd have opened your eyes
Instead of telling us to sit and rot inside.
