“Breath Of Light” has been described by Declan as “the weirdest song I’ve released” – “it’s like a song from ‘Gremlins’ in hell”.
“Breath of Light” is a song from hell, with the odd chanting, the clanging percussion, and the center of cosmic sin. My friend Jake Passmore and I came up with that init...
[Intro]
A breath of light
A breath of light
You would never see the sight
A breath of light
A breath of light
You would never see the sight
[Chorus]
Would you catch me in the centre of your cosmic sin?
Where the devil's sippin' cordial, I just can't win
There's a single bed awaiting me, I don't believe
I'm a cheesecake junkie in constant grief
Would you catch me in the centre of your cosmic sin?

Would you catch me at the centre of a cosmic lie?
And I'm fumblin' on the fixings on my plastic tie
There's a king and all his cronies feeling quite irate
You were welcomed to the party and you shan't be late

Oh see, I let you down
All the people who get around
All by myself, by by my by myself, by by my by my
[Outro]
A breath of light
A breath of light
You would never see the sight
A breath of light
A breath of light
You would never see the sight

It was just a weird little jam that me and my friend Jake Passmore did together and, gradually over time, it kind of formed into a song. We had these goblin-ish chants going on and these weird sounds and it was a gradual combination of ideas over time that went into what it is. Now it just feels lik...
