This song is about being sheep and doing what we are told without thinking of the consequences. Everyone, especially at an early age, is impressionable but should learn to make their own choices in life.
lyrics
Watch the faithful gathering, lending hands to those who bleed.
As I’m soaking it in, erosion shall begin.
Watch the hero save the day. We’ll rejoice until we lay down,
and then we will wake in tomorrow’s disarray.
Get up and stand in line like the Catcher in the Rye.
Let’s take it down and live with our filth; created by man, survived by will.
Can’t we move ahead? We’re starting to crash. A dictated bliss can never last.
The blind will move along.
Watch two lovers join as one. Mending souls, it’s just begun.
Alas, joy is restored until they start to bore.
The blind will move along toward the sun, only to see blackened dreams.
And the cost of this trip is eating at me, and my sanity.
Seattle band somesurprises return with lofty, pretty dream pop that recalls the dissonant beauty of Broadcast, Grouper, and MBV. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 13, 2024
In Adrian Snood’s songs, soulful vocals and slow-moving alt-pop swirl together to create something distinctly moving. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 1, 2023
