I found out the hard way that nothing is permanent,
that nothing stays the same,
that everything is fleeting, there’s no way to keep our love safe
Through bad weather and highways, through distances and time,
this feeling I am having it burns a light pain but burns in a good way
When you have so much riding on one thing
and one day for no reason something leaves your life without notice
and you’re left with nothing to fall back on
The pain is futile, it is real, it is present,
it is you lost at your lowest moment in life
It’s the scenery that passes us so quickly that makes me miss old memories
Sitting in the front seat watching everything pass by through the window
Time is unstoppable
I’m certain it’s fleeting
I’m certain it’s gone
I’m certain it is sadness weighing me down
and I am certain it’s absence
I am certain now more than ever that nothing lasts forever
I’m certain it happens to all of us,
we drift in opposite directions farther and farther away
but no absence goes unnoticed, I’m certain
Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!) Mikey
