Gone South

Close the door and go on home
There’s nothing left to hide, you’ve seen it all
You wont be laughing anymore
When all that’s left is sincerity within these walls
I’ve been passing days
Wondering when things fell out of place
But you’re preoccupied
You can’t see that I’m caught up in a tide
How come you’re not around
When the days start getting cold?
Do the birds flying south
Remind you it’s time to head back home?
I drove to the end of the road
Just to see how far it goes
And then I listened to the radio
For where you might’ve gone
I’m just waiting for a sign
Something that’ll help me rationalise
All these contradictions
Your self-deprecating humour in disguise
When I’m waiting in a line
And I’m always the last one to arrive
Your reckless disposition
You’re jumping ship and you’re leaving me behind
Try not to wear it on your sleeve
A vicious circle by design
Does my curiosity
Make you trivialise your life?
All the things that you despise
I let you win another fight
And what is left of me
You’ll think of how to spin into a lie
Calm down, you’re falling out
It’s all starting to get old
Blown up, it’s all going south
At least you get to crawl back home
I drove to the end of the road
Just to see how far it goes
And then I listened to the radio

(Don't) Call Me Out
02:18
|

|
Go on and hit the road
You know the show is almost over
Bathed in vapour lights and smoke
The night is cold and you're just so completely done
They call you out, another time
That you would rather be alone
They're unaware of impositions
Got a predisposition to find yourself indisposed
Been trying to find a way
To hold your head up higher than the tide
They're eating you alive
And every night is in the rearview
Letting you down
Letting you down
Hoping you'll fall into another life
But nothing ever changes
Been trying to find a way
To hold your head up higher than the tide
They're eating you alive
And every night is in the rearview
Letting you down
Letting you down
Hoping you'll fall into another life
But nothing ever changes

Rearview Mirror
03:47
|

|
Theorise on the afterlife
Now you've got all this time
You're still no good at making up your mind
Take the turnpike or turn around
And if you can't decide
Watch the rearview mirror
It's all just passing by
Watch coming of age movies through the night
Maybe you can try to be kinder to yourself this time
Make resolutions and write them out
'Cause it's so easy to hide
And you're too good at letting these things slide
Lay awake to 2:45
It almost felt alright
For the first time in a little while
Either way, fading in the night
You half-closed your eyes
Said it's like driving into the sky

Running In Place
03:03
|

|
Left you behind on the subway
Couldn't decide what to blame so I boarded the train
Didn't I give all I could?
Did I make a mistake when I said that you stalled me
From being all I could be?
And I thought I could just give it a day
You would come back to me
I could stop feeling ashamed
But I guess I'm still disdaining your pain
I've just been running in place
Because you don't believe in me
And I don't believe in you
Because I don't believe in me
And you don't believe that's true
Night out of focus, the rain on the surface
The lights were unyielding
The shadows revealing
What's always been here
That the weakness is fear
And your frame at the stop
Silhouettes and moves on
Because you don't believe in me
And I don't believe in you
Because I don't believe in me
And you don't believe that's true

Help Save Belle

You talk about that night
Like something made up in your mind
I promise you, I tried calling you
I left some flowers at your door
I know you'd rather stay out late at night
To prove a point
Parked two streets ahead is where you spent
Every Friday night out in the cold
You're trying hard to reach someone else's dream
You're a fool and you've just led yourself to see
Through the looking glass
Won't you let things pass by?
Instead of holding onto what you want to see
But I understand
That you don't think that you can let it be
Some people claim themselves
As someone they just wished to be
But you don't even know yourself
Enough to say that you're the same
Either way, you're caught again
I think it's a little late
To find a place to start again
I told you twice, you wouldn't last
You're running from your own stupid games
I lied about that time
I saw you standing in the crowd
I pretended to not notice you
You won't look back at what's left behind
I pulled you from my mind
Around last summertime
Need to remind myself what it was really like
How you waste my time
Leave me on the line
I've seen you making friends in case I leave your side
But you've got your reasons too
I won't disapprove of anything you do
Guess I'm just a fool
You're a futile fight
Driving late at night
I can never stay between the lines
You're in the dark
Or you're a fading light
A dying flame that burnt too fast
I held your hand through the wind and rain
But now you're someone that I can't explain

Former Life

Took the speed train going south
Needed the day to figure it out
Last I heard it’s still around
You were young when you last left town
You called to say you’ve done okay
And how my little brother wanted me to stay
But now he understands
I think I understand it too
I hate the way this place feels like you
I hate the way this place feels like you
Blurred and run-down window view
I know I’m different when I’m talking to you
I don’t try and you apologise
And I hate the way you do
Old mistakes keep beating you
You were too young when you packed your bags and moved
Somewhere across the sea
Away from all you knew
I hate the way this place makes me think of you
I hate being ashamed to feel the way I do
I hate the way this place feels like you
I hate the way this place makes me feel like you
Out of place, not out of mind
All you dream is all you’ve left behind
I’ll take a part of you
It’s all that I can do

Remember how Bill Murray woke up to I Got You Babe every day in Groundhog Day? If that song would have been Made Of Moods, he at the very least experienced three and a half perfect minutes each day. It’s one of those songs that I enjoy each and every second of, with it’s jangly guitars and hushed vocals that almost have a Beach Boys vibe, especially in the verse. Truly, it’s a song for the ages. But the best news about Still Life is that it offers eleven additional underground pop gems.

This is absolutely beautiful! I am so happy the Under the Bridge releases led me down this road. It's unexpectedly spacious and just makes me happy! It's very hard to pick a favorite and I will not be skipping tracks as I play through this repeatedly.
