Okay, phew!

We're really proud of this song. It is darker and more spikey than our last single, Matchless. This song started as a Microkorg jam from Scenery member, zcb. Then, guitar was played, chopped, destroyed and layered on top. Drums were sequenced in a Korg Volca Sample and some additional synth was added using a Korg Volca Keys.

The lyrics deal with that universal yearning of trying to carve out a bright future for yourself while not letting the past interfere.

Lyrics:

The future towers above
Chrome and glass and love
I can't help but look down
The past won't lose ground

The future siphons us in
Forgives us all our sins
The voices hiss and they buzz
The ghosts of all my ex-loves

The good times were just a trap
Reach for them and bad times just come flooding back

The good times were a trap
Reach for them and bad times just come flooding back

The good times were a trap
Reach for them and bad times just come flooding back

The good times were a trap
Reach for them and bad times just come flooding back

Futures they've all gotta end
In white rooms surrounded by friends
The past will catch its prey
The juju of my decay
