If I remember that right, we were standing in the rain
Burning that slim slick night down as the results came in
I felt the ground pull me closer down, felt the call of my youth
When they ask you where you’re from, you tell them the truth
One day we’ll all be condos
We’ll all be gutted and clean
My predawn nightmare is your all day daydream
When blue lights drive by, they never stop for me
When they ask you where you’re from, you tell them the truth
When they ask you where you’re from, you say you don’t know
Mind versus hunger, they taught you to sell
Oh no
And now you can’t afford to live in the town you were born in
When they ask you where you’re from, you tell them the truth:
You don’t know, and who does anymore?
Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long.
