I stripped my life bare, like a man prepared to drown
I stepped into the water
and all of the things that had weighed me down
remained on the shore as I drifted further
I found myself on an island, I found myself light as a feather
I found myself strong from swimming against the current
it had been so long since I'd felt this independent
but I cannot describe to you what it's like to have gone through what I have gone through, this song will try but if I know myself it will fail
with no sentiment, I'm a document of a life I've lead
viewed through the lens of a camera held by a steady hand
I see my life, as something easily analysed
when you look inside, it all makes sense
I avoid at all costs, people whom this idea would be lost upon
I have no desire to explain myself to anyone who looks at me
and sees a heart that only hates, I've still some way
before I give up on the human race
but I cannot express deeply enough the feelings that I care so little about so much
In songs that swing from giant and anthemic to distortion-caked and widescreen, Lightning Cult conjure galaxies of sound. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 18, 2022
