Alex made the majority of this track too. I remember we threw this one back and forth a couple times for structure, but he nailed the vision with this one. Lyrically, it’s picking up where ‘Way Out’ left off and applying it more generally. I feel like we are all slowly becoming more and more divided, both emotionally and physically. It feels like we are headed somewhere we’ve never been before, and this song feels like the perfect closer to the album for me. It takes the entire album and it’s concepts and spirals it into this dark, uncertain corner. But you’re still bobbing your head.
lyrics
go out
to the fight
no doubt
hate for the other side
but that ain’t what it’s all about the bet is over now
we’re running from the red
but the target is on our heads
cuz i been feeling far away my arms stretch out
drag the lake
drown in solace
i don’t wanna wait
i want to know when
the gas is on the way
don’t wanna be on the fence & find it all too late
and i see you nervous on your own but sometimes it’s better unknown when you see the signs it’s underway
too late
