In a Kerrang article, Emma had the following to say about this song:
This song took so long to write, and I still kind of hate it! Lyrically, it’s about having the intense presence of apathy following you through your life. It’s about the manifestation of inaction, and not being able to feel or do...
[Verse 1]
What Devil, what shape is shifting now?
What lover, which friend pulled back and how
Into another grey year and from another cracked face as I have?
A wish for some erasure is surely coming close, if nothing ever has
[Chorus]
And I cannot go anywhere without you
Without you just following
I’ll never know anything without you
Without you following
[Verse 2]
Just rest, just lay on future’s dunes
Once was a wild, once was a smile barking at the moon
All across the body, the lines of our expressions are stationed now for real
The glaze of tried companions have built upon the senses so dense it cannot feel
[Chorus]
And I cannot go anywhere without you
Without you just following
I’ll never know anything without you
Without you following
[Outro]
And what you are is all that I wanted to be
Where you are is nowhere and nothing and never free
Another day, another day, another day is done
Another day, another day, another day is done
Another day, another day, another day is gone for me
