about

This song was originally conceived at 3 a.m when I was staying at a friends place in the small French Village of Casis. We had just come from a demonstration in Marseille, and I was struck by the passion and intensity of the protesters. I went into the bathroom and feverishly wrote down the lines after waking from the strangest dream...

lyrics

Come silent depths past emerging, clean sea air
Grapple harness unfathomable power
Not ours to take
Exhumation, exhalation faint breath
Dive deep don’t take in much air

Waves roar backlashes escape night
Darkness does not conceal white skin chased
Harpoon in its back
Manifestation hibernation
Caves we have built
Illusions of insight

So tired just can’t sleep
You come into my dreams
You promise me release

Delicate hour changing of the guard, you try and catch me
Four point buck have lived enough seasons, know your schemes
Whizzing arrows and projectiles
Think I know how to deal
The source dried up polluted bought sold nothing left to drink

So tired just can’t sleep
Come into my dreams
You promise me release
Release, release, release
