we wrote this song over a few weeks in the middle of
summer. it contains a paradox and to be honest we’re still in the process of discovering the nuances of meaning in it. I think that sometimes drifting can take you where you need to be,
other times it can take you to the open sea where your feet can’t touch the ground anymore. we hope you enjoy this existentialist pop song - big up Maurice Merleau-Ponty.

LYRICS:
So I say
Romanticism must die
The mind that lords over love
Is just un-fucking-useful
An idea
An idea that doesn’t let you choose
As I stare into a blaze of desire
That is forever youthful
So I vanish to a cobalt sky
The shape of what I thought was I
Wild shadow with a pale blue eye
Romanticism must die
Ain’t this the dream you wanted all along?
Solid honey you can call home
Ain’t this the dream you wanted all along?
Most of us are just drifting
Do you believe
That you’ll stay forever young
With the right technology
Evade the laws of physics
What about
The crust that forms around your soul?
The loops of recurring thoughts?
The edges of your being?
So I vanish to a cobalt sky
The shape of what I thought was I
Wild shadow with a pale blue eye
Romanticism must die
Ain’t this the dream you wanted all along?
Solid honey you can call home
Ain’t this the dream you wanted all along?
Most of us are just drifting
And I feel I can begin again
Most of us are just drifting
And I feel I can begin again
Most of us are just drifting
