Damon Albarn told The Guardian that he wrote this song after spending Christmas at his mother-in-law’s house, “spending hours on the sofa playing The Dark Knight video game with my daughter, just zapping these endless characters with no real humanity.”
[Intro]
Hostiles
[Verse 1]
When the service done
And the parish have all sung
And the mid frequencies come
To keep you away
When your body aches
From the unresolved dreams you keep
And the hours passed by
Just left on repeat
[Chorus]
It'll be a silent day
I share with you
Fighting off the hostiles
With whom we collude
Hoping to
Find the key
To this play of communications
Between you and me
[Verse 2]
When the LCDs
Are all the player ones you can be
Put your foot down in the right-hand lane
If you are with me
'Til the trains re-run
And the rush hour has come
And the mid frequencies sung
Have sent you to sleep
[Chorus]
It'll be a silent day
I share with you
Fighting off the hostiles
With whom we collude
Hoping to
Find the key
To this play of communications
Between you and me
[Bridge]
Don't burn so, don't burn so
Don't burn so late
Don't burn so, don't burn
Don't burn so late
[Chorus]
It'll be a silent day
I share with you
Fighting off the hostiles
With whom we collude
Hoping to
Find the key
To this play of communications
Between you and me
[Outro]
