lyrics
There are new words for old wounds,
and new wounds that no words can do.
Though there is little new to learn that we haven't already forgot,
and little more to say than what we've been fed.
For the frame may change but the image remains.
Still denying our lowly place in the order of things
So we devise. We've devised, this thinly gilded world...
where we reign as paper kings.
What old words we've devised, for our old wounds disguised
an ancient pain, still untamed, we've made our own.
and new wounds that no words can do.
Though there is little new to learn that we haven't already forgot,
and little more to say than what we've been fed.
For the frame may change but the image remains.
Still denying our lowly place in the order of things
So we devise. We've devised, this thinly gilded world...
where we reign as paper kings.
What old words we've devised, for our old wounds disguised
an ancient pain, still untamed, we've made our own.

Laying in the high dry grass, listening to the crickets playing their song, wondering if times of true serenity were never over, but right there under my nose, the whole time.

Turns (the song, in particular) is precisely the music I wish I could write. It has a melancholic/introspective feel while still having drive behind it.

Dreamlike songs from this London artist with gentle vocal melodies gliding through cloudy layers of guitar and synth.
