“Follows” is the first song off of Tigers Jaw’s latest recorded effort, “spin.” For anyone who did not hear the singles leading up to this release, this is a good indicator that the band has shifted their sound from a pop-punk driven blur to a more indie rock sound with pop-punk influences.
Cut away from the shell of a life
I had found myself wandering into
Behind glass I was frozen like time
In a memory you can't get away from
Killing time, we're all just killing time
Going out every night to feel fine
This chemical courage and positive lines
Against all of the things that we're trying to hide
I should have listened to you when you said
"Nothing will make this easier"
I should have listened to you when you said
"Running won't get you away from this"
It follows wherever I go
It follows wherever I go
Worried mind like a camera lens
With no clarity left for the picture
Filter out what I want to forget
Wipe away all the names and the faces
I should have listened to you when you said
"Nothing will make this easier"
I should have listened to you when you said
"Running won't get you away from this"
It follows wherever I go
It follows wherever I go
Breathing in slow
Breathing out and letting go
Breathing in slow
Breathing out and letting go
Breathing in slow
Breathing out and letting go
Breathing in slow
Breathing out and letting go
Breathing in slow
Breathing out and letting go
Breathing in slow
Breathing out and letting go
