According to Nothing’s lead sing Dominick “Nicky” Palermo, the song is about “isolation and the kind of contentment and desperation you can get out of that isolation, that kind of drives you crazy.”
A ‘Pillory’ was a wooden punishment & public humiliation device used around Europe for centuries...
Spent summers in a well
Watching pale moons disappear alone
And crucifixion seems noble
When paradise is hell, atone
I think we're far from home
And now you’re free, let go
Jump into white unknowns
But I can't shake it, I can feel it in my bones
I shut my eyes, our hands let go
Spent winters locked away
The snow would swallow everything and drown
A pendulum hangs over me
Forever swinging violently, come down
Please come down on me
And now you’re free, let go
Jump into white unknowns
But I can't shake it, I can feel it in my bones
I shut my eyes, our hands let go
I think we're far from home
