100 k’s Round Carmel is a song about death and guilt. Allbrook’s grandparents live in Carmel, WA, so it’s most probably about them.
He has stated that, “Guilt is a modern disease like the internet and low-fat milk and gluten intolerance. Oh, and someone I loved died. I am a chronic sufferer of this...
He was right
Every time, like every time
He was right
But I'm dumb, an awful son
I didn't let it ruin my night
I just sighed
Then when I finally cried
I found out the old girl finally died, she finally died
But I don't wanna feel that again
Selfish and uncaring
Guilt's a fucking awful pain
I don't wanna feel that again
Smoking in the carpark while I lie about my age
I watched the next test bowl for bowl
With grandpa and his mortal soul
I helped Ayelsa with the garden
They’re both getting really old
Really really old
I walked a hundred k's round Carmel with a fucking cup of tea
The cricket can be pretty harmful but that won’t bother me
But I don't wanna feel that again
Selfish and uncaring
Guilt's a fucking awful pain
I don't wanna feel that again
Smoking in the carpark while I lie about my age
But I don't wanna feel that again
Selfish and uncaring
Guilt's a fucking awful pain
No I don't wanna feel that again
Smoking in the carpark while I lie about my age
