about

This is a synthpop track inspired by Depeche Mode and early 2010s electronic acts using a lot of side-chain compression. It's also a confession of hitting a bottom of some sorts, and feeling optimistic about the way back up.

I wrote this back in 2014 and sat on it until today.

lyrics

You were the center of my heart
Then i let my brain get stepped on
While you lay facedown flowing with the river
I should have known right from the start
That everybody has a weakness
And mine was found at this nadir
But now i can see some direction
Ran out of sins i must confess

I've got to get out of the city
Before I burn it to the ground
I can’t help thinking it’s worth staying
But what is not lost can’t be found
And i will step into the ocean
A lack of comfort in my way
The future will be full of mistakes
Or present's mistakes here to stay ‘cause

This is the best part of the worst days of our lives
This is the best part of the worst days of our lives
This is the best part of the worst days of our lives
This is the best part of the worst days of our lives

And i'll keep rearranging my things
Unless you break apart my mould
End the clockwork, ease the tension
And i'll keep coming back to hold you

This is the best part of the worst days of our lives
This is the best part of the worst days of our lives
