Moody anthem of alienation: mellow keyboard, angry guitar.
electronica progressive rock eclectic quartet strang anthemic
Artist picture
Eclectic, intelligent rock-driven tunes with big guitars and more than a hint of electronica give us a sound unlike any other band.

Story behind the song
The continual drive in work to be better, bigger, faster, stronger cannot be sustained forever, can it?
Lyrics
Did we sink or did we swim tonight I can't tell if I did well If I did wrong or right. Did we make them laugh or cry, the while Can't say I smelt a tear Can't say I heard a smile. Surfing forever on the bleeding edge Is just gonna run me down Running after ghosts will make me bleed Never saying never all the time Just makes cynics smile Brings flesh-eaters out to feed Every once in a while Just when I worked out where the walls were Just when I stopped myself sliding on the bank Just when I started to relax again They throw another piranha in the tank. Did we derail or did we fly too high The dividing line between Seems just too thin to the eye Did we survive another round in the ring Can't say I felt a punch Can't say I felt a thing You can run and you can hide ... But not forever ... You'll get old and - you - will- tire And we'll be there to make sure Nature runs its course We survive, ... you expire. Just when I worked out where the walls were Just when I stopped foundering on the bank Just when I started to relax again They throw another piranha in the tank. Whilst we stand around Not letting the facts get in the way Of where we're going today ... The world revolves, drags me with her Kicking and screaming Welcome to today... Looking over my shoulder Nervous glances left and right... Get through another 12 alive Make it through another night.
