This was the first song I wrote when YTN first started. I was coming out of a creative place that I was very unhappy in and for a while wasn't writing. I didn't feel like I had anything important to say anymore. This song is me rediscovering my voice and my anger.
lyrics
V1
It's your word against mine
And that's fine.
I am the heat death of the universe
It'll all be over in time.
It's your world against mine
And I'm ok with that.
I want to consume the planet
Until I'm bloated and fat.
:Chorus:
I thought I was a goner
With nothing else to say.
But then a fire started roaring
And it just won't go away.
I've still got anger in my soul
If you could believe in that.
I just ate my finger nails
And tasted blood when I spat.
V2
There is a vast hole in my life
Where my hopes have finally withered.
I've been wound up oh tight.
I feel the knots deep in my liver.
If I try to sing out I don't know if you'll hear me
But I'll pull the microphone closer
In an attempt to speak more clearly.
V3
Lets light a fire across the oil spills
In the ocean so polluted
We forget that we intruded
On the timely evolution of the world.
It's on us.
Let's build a wall of broken buildings
In the bombed out ego centrals.
We'll take a walk over the bodies of a thousand new inventions made to kill.
Made to kill.
:Chorus:
I thought I was a goner
With nothing else to say.
But then a fire started roaring
And it just won't go away.
I've still got anger in my soul
If you could believe in that.
I just ate my finger nails
And tasted blood when I spat.

SKA! IS! NOT! DEAD! This album feels like the ultimate crash-course in third-wave ska, and is an absolute must-listen if you're a fan of the genre. James Tudhope
Been away for a while got some more memory so I'm back! What better way to celebrate than buying The Holophonics Discography. Fun Ska cover songs and some awesome original songs too! Rhokeheart
Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
