[Verse 1]
Used to be just not like this
Catapult a bunch of fears
And all these little things you say
It's just a way to combat fame
Don't you miss those early years?
Rabbit ears and second gears
With distant music of your fears
Buzzing from your interferes
[Chorus]
I know you won't remember
Gonna pack my bags, it's Olympia forever
[Verse 2]
All so gentle as the spring
Until the voices start to sing
A boxing ring, a trial within
You never used to say these things
Don't you miss those early years?
Rabbit ears and second gears
With distant music of your fears
You never used to think like this
[Chorus]
I know you won't remember
Gonna pack my bags, it's Olympia forever
Violins and swift propellers
Let me go, let me go, it's Olympia forever
[Bridge]
The disdain aches, the distal creates
No feelings of space, you're part of me, part of me
The disdain aches, the distal creates
No feelings of space, you're part of me, part of me
[Chorus]
I know you won't remember
Gonna pack my bags, it's Olympia forever
Violins and swift propellers
Gonna pack my bags, it's Olympia forever (Forever)
Olympia was written by John Took & Matthew Mason (Guitarist) & Thomas O’Dell.
Olympia was produced by Konstantin Kersting & Rich Costey.
Johnny Took:
This is one of [guitarist Matt] Mason’s songs. I think he originally wrote it on a ukulele, but obviously it sounds a lot different now. It’s got that old-school DMA’S energy. Just bloody loud guitars and a big vocal hook.
