Talking about the track, Declan said:
“Rapture – though it seems to touch on the current state of the world – was born early last year [2019], and reflects some of my thoughts on the end of the world a...
[Intro]
Jet black, jet black, jet black, jet black (Woo)
Jet black, jet black, jet black, jet black
Jet black, jet black, jet black, jet black
Jet black, jet black, jet black, jet black
[Verse 1]
At first, you will find
A prophecy of what could have been, you know (You know)
You know, there's all sorts of crap on the TV these days
Now you won't live after such disaster
You're a lot full of smashed-up cars
Cross-hatched in the metal when you're cracking up
But you're part of the pack, pup
You're part of something bigger than the laws of nature
Mrs. Thatcher
Your cruel heart navigates the world we live in
With its anger
Going nowhere, coming at ya
[Chorus]
Rapture in my head
I keep looking up like I'm already dead
Rapture, oh my Lord
I've been playing catch-up
I'm already bored
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 2]
Oh, God, tell me I sure am on the list
How can you make yourself so scarce from someone you love?
Oh, it don't make sense
Your love is never better than the morning after (Morning after)
Well, Mother Nature, coming at ya
[Chorus]
Rapture in my head
I keep looking up like I'm already dead
Rapture, oh my Lord
I've been playing catch-up
I'm already bored
Rapture in my head
I keep looking up like I'm already dead
Rapture, oh my Lord
I've been playing catch-up
I'm already bored
[Bridge]
Oh, rapture
Oh, rapture
Oh, rapture
Oh, rapture
'Cause it's rapture in my head
You say this is up
I'm already dead
Rapture in my head
You say this is up
I'm already dead
Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
I'm already dead
Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
[Outro]
Jet black, jet black, jet black, jet black
Black, jet black, jet black, jet black
Jet black, jet black, jet black, jet

This was one I sat down and wrote very quickly. It leads in from that end-of-days thing, and it’s a bit more direct than ‘Twice Your Size.’ It’s a similar vein, but a bit more scary, but also more danceable. It’s talking about fear of the future, because it’s this torment and being told that stuff i...
