about

‘Past, present and future makes no sense’
This is a lockdown song. It was written about the way that time seemed to warp. The lack of human contact and the continual quietness lead to deep self reflection. I did a lot of thinking about life and what the future might look like and sometimes it was too unclear to make any sense of it.

lyrics

I got all the time in the world but I get nothing done
The sun shines through the window and my coffee’s cold
Why can’t I stay in some old place
In a memory of better days
They’re further and further away

Talk to me babe do you really want to start a war
Can you tell me what you’re fighting for
Because I don’t know
I feel so afraid I can hear it coming through the wall
I had a feeling like this before
But when, I don’t know

Time has lost all meaning every day’s the same
Present past and future makes no sense
I’m longing for a time gone by that I will never know again
Places and lovers and friends

Talk to me babe do you really want to start a war
Can you tell me what you’re fighting for
Because I don’t know
I feel so afraid I can hear it coming through the wall
I had a feeling like this before
But when, I don’t know

Thinking bout that same old place
Where I was never happy anyway
Don’t know why it stayed with me
But I’m happy in that memory

Thinking bout that same old place
Where I was never happy anyway
Don’t know why it stayed with me
But I’m happy in that memory

Talk to me babe do you really want to start a war
Can you tell me what you’re fighting for
Because I don’t know
I feel so afraid I can hear it coming through the wall
I had a feeling like this before
But when, I don’t know
