about

Cold Spring is about the end of some important things, and the beginning of others. It's a song about failure, but also finding some hope / optimism within that failure. We spent many long hours together turning this song into what it is today. Stylistically, it is darker and dreamier than previous releases - a sound to match the subject matter. This will be our last standalone single before a major, longer release, so we gave it everything we had.

lyrics

You didn’t come here to listen to me complain
But there are tendrils from my nightmares still embedded in my brain
I will stay quiet, air will stay heavy, and you will harbor a special hurt that I cannot take away

Doesn’t matter if we’re trembling
It’s Spring, cold Spring
There’s a lantern in each dark room
They’re not for me

We’re turning into all the wall art we put up
I am a weathered family backpack- you are Joseph’s silver cup
Well in just a few more years you’ll turn to Joseph’s rainbow coat
And I will be the brittle knife pressed into Joseph’s prison throat

If you see me in the water
Am I gone? We'll see
You want to rid yourself of failure?
Let go of me

If the good times always end, then the bad ones do - tell me they have to
When the medicine kicks in, will the demons die, or are they just hiding underneath my skin?
Boiled until reduced to an enneagram report - or a sentence that has been repeatedly cut short
When the springtime comes again, maybe things will change, maybe this love wanes

Doesn’t matter if we’re trembling
It’s Spring, cold Spring
I see that someone’s come to take you
Is there room for me?

No room for me
