about

This was written in a densely stimulated, yet also rather reflective head space a few days after I arrived home from an overseas trip to England & Thailand.
I intentionally wanted to put something odd together, so I ended up with this unconventional song structure & some curious melodic textures.
Lyrically it's largely about retrospective thinking, awareness & observation. The concept of "Repeating backwards" is my way of articulating the idea of retracing & reviewing events, conversations & places in the mind.

lyrics

Sun slowly dissolves the cold grip of night
While stagnant clocks tick
& The people await the cogs of schedule to click…

The choice of a word that seals the cap, or sews the final stitch.
An abyss seems heavy yet a little more fresh, Repeating Backwards, no auto thought missed.

Reality offers a strange moments void
Tainted with anxiety while final conversations burn & glow
Long after the capacity to inhale them.
Then once again morning rolls…

& The sun slowly dissolves the cold grip of night
While stagnant clocks tick
& The people await the cogs of schedule to click…

On the tip of a moment returning to dust, just like matter must.
Calm trips & strides through a mist of angst, while somewhere in yesterday, the memories hide.
