Meaning:
This track was one of the first tracks we completed but once recorded something about the chorus just didn’t work for me. We were running out of time, it was the final day of recording and there was only a small group of us left. They all quizzed me on the song’s meaning and from that our crewmember and good friend Nath came out with the lyric, “Ignite the past and watch it burn.” Even though it wasn’t something I would write myself, it fit perfectly and encapsulated the meaning of the song as a whole, so it stayed. I’m often quite stubborn when it comes to laying down other people’s words but I’m happy I relented on this one.

Lyrics:

Levelling up and passing through, all this time I spent remembering you. 
Some people just never learn.
Levelling up, passing through, all this time I spent remembering you
Levelling up, passing through, oh to be true, to be true, to be true.

Some people just never learn 
Ignite the past and watch it burn
Some people just never learn and they hurt and they hurt and they never learn. 

There was no life just a life in decline. 
Line after line, after line after line. 
Seventies kid, an eighties teen but not a nineties man just something between. 
Line after line caught by your vices. 
The shaping, the moulding, attempting, distracting, reflecting, the catching - never confronted. 

Caught in a vice by your vices. 
Level it up. Borderline done. 

All this time spent remembering you not one second a waste. 
Never ready to say goodbye always would take back your life. 

Go balls deep into the night. Retrieve the light that lit your soul.
