about

It's almost a shame the tone of the music is so melancholic, especially the wistful cello solo. It's a hopeful song. We all want to escape sometimes, at times it can be a pressing, desperate need.

The lyrics refer to the idea that music can save you, and free you (it can!).

The sound of a church song recorded in San Cristobal, Mexico seemed a nice end to the album for some odd reason.

lyrics

I'll take this road out beyond the town that raised me up, that held me down.
I'll drive through desolate dreams and forget to doubt these things.

I've been lost,
stuck in my head,
feeling blue,
seeing red.

Forget this loss,
forget this wall,
forget these troubles,
forget them all.

If you sit still for long enough, you'll hear that sound waking you up.
The sparkle in your eyes will turn into flame and burn you down again and again.

Where from here? Where to next?
Where is your compass? Place your bets.

Forget this loss, forget these walls,
forget these troubles, fuck them all.
