About

“Travels in Nihilon”, the album’s closing track, is about Partridge’s feelings of disillusionment with the music industry.

Travels in Nihilon Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You've learnt no lessons
All that time so cheaply spent
There's no youth culture
Only masks they let you rent

[Chorus]
Travels, travels in Nihilon
A war, a war, a warrior, a warrior, a warrior
We've seen no Jesus come and gone
A war, a war, a warrior, a warrior, a warrior

[Verse 2]
Fashion, their vampire
Drapes itself across your back
As you fall from style
It weighs rebirth on its rack

[Chorus]
Travels, travels in Nihilon
A war, a war, a warrior, a warrior, a warrior
We've seen no Jesus come and gone
A war, a war, a warrior, a warrior, a warrior

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]
Building your whimsy
Hypnotizing you to need
Dance goes full circle
One step ahead of your greed

[Chorus]
Travels, travels in Nihilon
A war, a war, a warrior, a warrior, a warrior
We've seen no Jesus come and gone
A war, a war, a warrior, a warrior, a warrior

[Verse 4]
You've learnt no lessons
All those years to get it right
Flashes of promise
Burn out faster than strobe light

[Chorus]
Travels, travels in Nihilon
A war, a war, a warrior, a warrior, a warrior
We've seen no Jesus come and gone
A war, a war, a warrior, a warrior, a warrior

Travels, travels in Nihilon
A war, a war, a warrior, a warrior, a warrior
We've seen no Jesus come and gone
A war, a war, a warrior, a warrior, a warrior
