about

Well this is like a dirty back ally life gone awry type themed song. It’s a collapsing of two events that as a result of the first lead to the second event where the victim became the perpetrator and became more of a maniac through the act of revenge. It is about a real person who has passed now sadly but led a very colourful nightlife and lived next door to me in Sydney and we would have a drink every afternoon before they’d go off and do their thing and I’d do mine and then the next day we’d share wounds and war stories from the night before and then begin it all again.

lyrics

There was lightning and thunder
Creeping across the valley floor
And did it wake me from my slumber
Rattling the locks on the door
Oh, oh, Ohhhhhhh

Thoughts turned into something
Laid out, just out of view
A cold call came a wanting
Something from me I couldn’t use
Oh, Oh, Ohhhh

C:
You’ve got to calm down, Or you’ll never stop
Aint no need to fight it
Its gonna drop, ppppppppp
Oh, Oh, Ohhhh

Context, is a mixture of acceptance
The willow that steals every stride
To diiiiiisappear over nothing
Would I care if it needs to fucken hide?
Oh, Oh, Ohhhh

C:
You’ve got to calm down, Or you’ll never stop
Aint no need to fight it
Its gonna drop, ppppppppp
Oh, Oh, Ohhhh

Well I’ll surely have to break
If I want To survive
News is just the time
Something happened unkind
Mixed up in the wake
Of your fading brine
Anymore
Anymoreeeeeeee

C:
You’ve got to calm down, Or you’ll never stop
Aint no need to fight it
Its gonna drop, ppppppppp
Oh, Oh, Ohhhh
