about
“The foundation of the song came together in a very natural, organic way during a jam, starting with Dawson’s fingerpicked guitar line and Justin’s breakbeat. From there we spent a lot of time finding ways to make the arrangement really rich and sonically diverse. Lyrically, the song has a kind of existential theme. It’s about the search for meaning in life, and how we sometimes look for it in the wrong places.” –GOODWOOD ATOMS
lyrics
When the fright is digital
And your scenes are over
When your bind is minimal, blind is visual, we'll grow better
When the fright is digital
And your scenes are over
When your sight is criminal, lines subliminal, we’ll grow better
Take back more than you could do
When you’re on your way through
And it's all in the way
You’re slowed down now
You’re caught in your mind
Just fiddling with time
Just turning away
You can't see how
You’re caught in between
What you thought was a dream
And a different day
I Don't know how
Following sounds
Just, just wondering how
Now it came to be round
Ah, ah, oh oh oh oh oh
We're heavier than matter, my friends
Ah, ah, oh oh oh oh oh
But it doesn’t even matter
Take back more than you could do
When your Saturday’s mute
And you’re often out of time
You slow down now
You’re suddenly afraid
T’ill you're counting the days
T’il the history is made
You can’t see how
You’re caught in between
These invisible screens
With your urge to stray
Ya don't know how
Making it close now
A little to know how
It came to be found
Ah, ah, oh oh oh oh oh
We're heavier than matter, my friends
Ah, ah, oh oh oh oh oh
But it doesn’t even matter
Ah, ah, oh oh oh oh oh
We're heavier than matter, my friends
Ah, ah, oh oh oh oh oh
But it doesn’t even matter
No I didn’t wanna cut it down, cut it down,
It’s a matter of a spell bound secret
Never mattered what would come around, come around
Never really want to spill my secrets
No I didn’t wanna cut it down, cut it down,
It’s a matter of a bad new found reflex
When it’s on and it’s on and it’s on and it’s on again
Ah, ah, oh oh oh oh oh
We're heavier than matter, my friends
Ah, ah, oh oh oh oh oh
But it doesn’t even matter
Ah, ah, oh oh oh oh oh
We're heavier than matter, my friends
Ah, ah, oh oh oh oh oh
But it doesn’t even matter
