Release Date2021-09-01
DescriptionWhile in Dead Town, Elsie and Isaac become so, so close, and then gradually fall apart. Not because something huge and dramatic happens, not because they end up hating each other, but because they need to go their separate ways in order to progress as people and escape the situation they find themselves in. It’s about how loss and love can go hand in hand, and despite eventually losing each other, they part ways, not with hatred, but with so much love. Eventually, it’s possible that they, or at least one of them, decides to venture out and enter The World Outside, leaving the Dead Town for good despite the risk. They’re willing to accept the danger if it’s the only way they might be able to escape the Dead Town. They move on with their lives despite The Fear. Because they have to. And they know that now.
Lyrics[Verse 1]
I’m alive
And I know that now
Man it took a couple years but I figured it out
The long way

Tell me why
All my life
I’ve been searching so hard
For something right in front of my eyes
[Verse 2]
Am I starting to move on?
Am I ready to leave?
The World Outside it keeps calling me
Don’t let it hold you back
Don’t let it break you down
The fear of it all

[Verse 3]
And can you feel it floating through the breeze
When the world comes crashing down
We will know what it means
But until that final answer
We’ll be on our knees
Praying for some sweet release
Some kind of sanity
Oh, oh

And I would wait for you until the end
All those nights in the dark
Alone with all our friends
In the underpass
We were infinite then
And oh god, what I would do to only feel that again

[Verse 4]
And all it took was a year alone
To make me realise
How much I fucking loved being ‘round
All the people that I used to know
But I think that I’m alone now
You might also likeAnd all it took
Was the sun to show
Won’t let it hold me back
Won’t let it break me down
The fear of it all
I don’t think that I’m alone now
I know now, I know now, I know

[Chorus]
That I would wait for you
And I would wait for you
And I would wait for you
And I would wait for you
Until the end
Until the end
Until the end
Until the end

[Verse 5]
My love, my love, return to me
My love, my love, return to me
My love, my love, return to me
My love, my love, return to me

My love, my love, return to me (Don’t let go)
My love, my love, return to me (Don’t let go)
My love, my love, return to me (Don’t let go)
My love, my love, return to me (Don’t let go)
