Disco is Geese’s debut single, and clocks in at close to seven minutes. The song ventures through various sections through its runtime, going from post-rock to more of a pop rock sound without skipping a beat. The entire song mostly utilizes a 7/4 time signature, and comes off of Geese’s debut album...
[Verse 1]
Reaching without reason
Faces made of air
Iron drums in the cellar
Are calling up the stairs
I return to the dirt
And then I rise again
Turn the soil over
Close the box I sent
[Verse 2]
In the van dry heaving
Pop your aching heart
Go to clear your mind out
Pick your life apart
Sobbing in the bathroom
As I'm walking home
Follow me to my apartment
Drag me out the door
[Verse 3]
Slip into the back room
I'm training for tonight
Colors of the rainbow
I'm running out of fight
I can smell your perfume
But I can't hear your voice
Telling me to go home
But I don't have the choice
[Bridge 1]
I don't care what you said about my friеnd
I don't need to know if you're struggling to breathe
You thrеw your drink at me as I was leaning in
But I still asked you if you wanted to leave
I talk to the mirror like I'm trying to start a fight
And you're not scared of anger anymore
And I dance in an empty house
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Patron saint of wisdom
Is standing down the hall
My only proper instinct
Brings me to her altar
I can feel hot breath
Dripping from above
Voices like an ocean
Drunken and screaming
[Verse 5]
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you came for
Do you want to dance
Or did you come to hide from the dead?
The feeling of knowing
That you will never see this place again
Happiness is leaving
My hand is falling through her wrist
[Bridge 2]
You're not scared of my anger anymore
So I don't think it's gonna be able to work itself out
I don't know what I dreamed about the other night
But I count time in decades now
Ushering me further down
Grabbing me and shaking me awake
I daydream about melting into water
And I feel like drowning
And I think in impossible fantasies
And I believe in whatever you think is best
And I'll be sitting here the rest of the night
Waiting for you to call
[Instrumental Outro]
Disco was written by Gus Green & Cameron Winter.
We wanted a really big centerpiece song right from when we started working on the record. I originally had the idea for the first few sections in an SAT prep workshop which was boring me to tears; I remember writing out that guitar riff in seven that goes up and down the scale on my phone in the not...
