Sekwar, according to Andrew, marks the beginning of conflict on the record.
“There’s some sort of uprising or revolution that’s happening… I was writing this around the time of the storming of the Capitol and all that sort of stuff. So there was this … it was thick in the air, anger and protest and...
They told me I'm a juiced-up, worn-out sadsack
And they can't figure out what I'm trying to do here
Except stand around and be a dick
But for God's sake, I won't lie
I'll say it all and I'll be right
It can't be helped, it can't be scrubbed out
From the floorboards to the blacklights
I'll fight first, I'll fight first
I'll fight first, I'll fight first
I'll fight first, I'll fight first
I'll fight first
And the calls for transparency
At the bus stop, on the doormat
Well, I saw through all that
I found, I found holes in that
From the basest of all lives
You swore you'd never cry
And the times will get harder now
And push us further down
You say you're always right
And we're always wrong
I heard, I heard you tried
I heard, I heard you're gone
It's how it always goes
And never had to go
All the substance seeping out
From the storeroom of my mind
All the colours that I wanted to hold
And the fog that grows inside
That I can't get out my mind
Can you tell me what I used to know?
We'll fight first, we'll fight first
We'll fight first, we'll fight first
We'll fight first, we'll fight first
We'll fight first, we'll fight first
We'll fight first, we'll fight first
We'll fight first, we'll fight first
We'll fight first, we'll fight first
We'll fight first, we'll fight first
