The name “Desolation Sound” comes from a large ocean inlet at the northern end of the Sunshine Coast in British Columbia, Canada, near where the band grew up. The name and opening lines for the song were first written in 2013 by vocalist/lyricist Aidan Andrews, while he was sailing through Desolatio...
[Verse 1]
If home was where you wanted to go
Would you let me know?
Would you let me know?
If these are not the words that you have spoke
Then I’m on my own
I’m on my own
What if all my days replay this?
Do I end the same if I faked it?
I’ve become what I needed least
I want to be what I used to be
[Verse 2]
If faith is all we need then why do I crave something more?
Or has this been said before?
Will I meet the reason why I count my griefs at night?
Or are you not there?
[Bridge]
Happy and haunted
Happy and haunted
Not what I wanted
Not what I wanted
Happy and haunted
Not what I want
I wanna feel alive
I don’t want to worry again
I want my head back
I want my brain to mend
I’m not scared of changing, no
I’m scared of staying the same
I’m not scared of changing, no
I’m scared of staying the same
[Verse 3]
What if all I’ve done is missed it?
Crash landed in the thick of it
I’ll leave my old haunts behind me
And step forward to sleeping giants
[Outro]
Something has to change
Something has to change
(Screaming) Something has to change (x9)
