According to a press release, during the creation of the first batch of songs for the album, Wyndham’s partner suffered a late miscarriage. ‘Ultrasound’ became an open diary of a year-long struggle from devastation to deliverance.
“It was incredibly hard to comprehend what had happened, how to deal...
[Verse 1]
I saw the redwoods and I thought of you
As a child danced, in another room, in another room
I see the shape of our shadow
Plastic plants that never bloom
I fear the smell of quiet rooms
Did someone say everything was fine
That everything was fine
Or did I dream that for a time
I see the shape of our shadow
[Chorus]

So much I was different
That we could be ageless forever more
And then everything was lost
[Verse 2]
I've been searching because I'm out of place
Left alone in, in a purgatory
And the swinging door
Begging me to stay

To some kind of a station
I dreamt it was different
So much I was different
That we could be ageless forever more
And now everything is fucked

To where we were falling
Lost in the Hudson
Dogs in the morning
Maybe I'll miss you
I'll see you in another time
[Outro]
And now everything is fucked
And everything is fucked
And everything is fucked, fucked
And everything is fucked
