I wanted to go with a clean guitar riff for this one, and have some kind of interplay between the two guitar in the verses. The majority of the song came together easily enough, but the bridge was written much much later. I’m happy with how it turned out, and I think the little bit of synth magic in...
[Verse]
It starts when we’re too young to know that we are capable
It ends when we’re too old to realise what we’ve done
And all the while we are eroded
Our weaknesses exposed
We are physically closer but even still
[Chorus]
There is never silence in this deafening isolation
Surrounded and alone, we no longer feel at home
We are screaming out for connection
It’s a natural extension
Just reach out and touch me I’m right here
[Verse 2]
We wilfully sink in the hooks that tie us down to things we love
Before we realise that it’s too late to go back
We should warn those who come after us
But we lead them on instead
Protecting our investments in our pain and our regret
[Chorus 2]
There is never silence in this deafening isolation
Surrounded and alone, we no longer feel at home
We are screaming out for connection
It’s a natural extension
Just reach out and touch me I’m right here
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m just abnormal
But I can’t believe that I’m the only one
That feels painfully disconnected
I know so much about you but somehow I don’t know you at all
[Chorus 3]
There is never silence in this deafening isolation
Surrounded and alone, we no longer feel at home
We are screaming out for connection
It’s a natural extension
Just reach out and touch me I’m right here
