lyrics

I was so confused, I couldn’t understand it.
I tried to please too many people
and somehow every one of them is
pissed off at me.
the exact opposite of what I intended has
materialised,
and now everyone I know who’s alive
and well is pissed off at me,
including me.

going long, I push the waves back,
kicking down in all that blue and black,
dig em in and reach an impasse,
never ever not going to feel that.

I was so confused, I couldn’t understand it.
I tried to please everyone to no more
than a sufficient degree,
and somehow every party suspected
this was my intention.
and everyone’s pissed off at me.
everybody.
everyone’s pissed off at me.

going long, I push the waves back,
kicking down in all that blue and black,
dig em in and reach an impasse,
never ever not going to feel that.
gone far, but haven’t looked back,
fading intellect, yeah,
that’s what you said –
there, the only cataclysm.
I build a blaze there, yeah,
it’s pushing night-wide.

going long, I push the waves back,
kicking down in all that blue and black,
dig em in and reach an impasse,
never ever not going to feel that.
gone far, but haven’t looked back,
fading intellect, yeah,
that’s what you said –
there, the only cataclysm
I recognise.
