On the delicately unsettling “Ultraviolet,” Basement turn their focus outward, reflecting on the 2017 terrorist attack on the Westminster Bridge in London. With its eerily ethereal guitar tones, the song is threaded with plainspoken yet piercing lyrics.

[Verse 1]
If you please get a minute
Tell me of your day
No, that's fine if you're busy
I'm sure this can wait
Any other day
You might've had the time
But you're far too busy
Heading off to the city to try to
[Chorus]
Turn the car around
Keep all four wheels on solid ground
Don't let the neighbours down
We'll be wanting you home safe and sound
Safe and sound
[Verse 2]
When you made it on the bridge
Did you think about your life
Or had you already made up your mind?
[Chorus]
Turn the car around
Keep all four wheels on solid ground
Don't let the neighbours down
We'll be wanting you home safe and sound
Safe and sound
[Bridge]
Bodies danced to the sound of screams and broken glass
Even the air above our heads won't take a breath
Bodies danced to the sound of screams and broken glass
[Chorus]
Turn the car around
Keep all four wheels on solid ground
Don't let the neighbours down
We'll be wanting you home safe and sound
Safe and sound
[Outro]
If you please get a minute
Tell me anything
I promise I'll listen
