Lead singer Jonas Bjerre says:
This song took shape during a long jam session, like we hadn’t done in a long time. It’s a joyful song, with dark lyrics.
I guess the song is about being confused and unable to keep your mind still from all the stuff that floats around it – the expectations we put on...
Hold on
Two halves past and Colorado
Every night
It's five
You hold on
Terrified what's gonna happen
Try it again
Twelve times
I am a quiet light chaser
Ain't I painful?
It's already nightfall
Somebody was hurt
I try
I can't do right
All I've been through
Trivialized
Sigh
Hold on
Two halves past and Colorado
Every night
Predicted a precise moment
Someone once said
To cherish the fall while you're up to it
I am a quiet light chaser
Ain't I painful?
It's already nightfall
Somebody was hurt
I try
I can't do right
All I've been through
Trivialized
To you, I am a birthday sentiment
Yearly rub-it-in
Don't go caving in
Somebody dumb fooling me
With something I don't know and
I just fall into it with you
Oh
In the twist
Didn't mean to floor you
Hold me somewhere
With a lot to decide
Oh
With a lot to decide
Uh-oh
I am a quiet light chaser
Ain't I painful?
It's already nightfall
Somebody was hurt
I try
I can't do right
All I've been through
Trivialized
To you, I am a birthday sentiment
Die in increments
Until you cave in
Your broken bracelets
An easy thing to replace
Let's go away then
Gracefully
