about

Known as "Thug" within the band, this is a track that's more relevant at the time of release (March 2021) than even they would have known. The reason for the thug tag is obvious during the metronomic pendulum swing of throbbing bass & synths which drive the track, whilst philosopher / theologist Alan Watts narrates and the lyrics speak of something inherent in us all; our ever-elusive desires vs the distrust that they would ever truly satisfy us anyway.

LYRICS

Intro
Just too far away
Just too far away
Just too far

Verse 1
Heaven’s not far away
Is that your paradise?
Heaven’s right here today
Is that a sight without a sound?

Bridge 1
Fight right through the light
Oh yeah you fight, right, through the light
You feel you’re wading into walls
Can you wait or can you pause
And you might, see, through, but you’re...

Chorus
Just too far away
Just too far away
Just too far today
That’s the way you stay
And it hits you

Verse 2
Heaven’s not far today
That makes you paralysed
Heaven’s not what they say
Does that mean, well,
Are you never to know?
Is it just out of sight?

Bridge 2
You’ve got to
Fight right through the light
Oh yeah you might, find, that’s what you like
There’s a choice that’s in your eyes
Realise and trace the lines
Oh will you fight? Bite? HA!

Chorus
Just too far away
Just too far away
Just too far away
And that’s the way it’s going to stay
And it hits you

Outro
Not far away
Not far away
Not far away
Not far....
