The Passed Away
from Talk About Our Demons As If They Were Friends by Natural Stranger
about
The band wanted to write a good song to open our shows with. We made a conscience effort to contrast tight grooves with big open chords to give the song a more anthemic feel. Dropping the chorus live always gets the band rocking out.
lyrics
The Passed Away
Left around like a finished book, the ending wasn't worth the read
Put on mute in a symphony just because you started late and you didn't really like the song
You wanna be electric but you've gone too far
It's bound to kill you living like something you're not
Brought to tears by a memory and it ruins your afternoon
Settle down by the ocean shore and watch the past slip away, you did the same thing yesterday
You had the whole world at your fingers now it's gone
You let the ghosts of years-gone-by live way too long
Have you had enough?
It really is a shame that you took your hopes and decided to throw them all away
You can't really deny all that guilt inside til you finally burn the passed away
Pulled apart in the heart of a storm, sending fragments spiraling
Laid to rest by the dying light, its color surprising, you've been seeing it all along
You wanna be electric but you've gone too far
It's bound to kill you living like something you're not
Have you had enough?
It really is a shame that you took your hopes and decided to throw them all away
You can't really deny all that guilt inside til you finally burn the passed away
You had the whole world at your fingers now it's gone
You let the ghosts of years-gone-by live way too long
Left around like a finished book, the ending wasn't worth the read
Put on mute in a symphony just because you started late and you didn't really like the song
You wanna be electric but you've gone too far
It's bound to kill you living like something you're not
Brought to tears by a memory and it ruins your afternoon
Settle down by the ocean shore and watch the past slip away, you did the same thing yesterday
You had the whole world at your fingers now it's gone
You let the ghosts of years-gone-by live way too long
Have you had enough?
It really is a shame that you took your hopes and decided to throw them all away
You can't really deny all that guilt inside til you finally burn the passed away
Pulled apart in the heart of a storm, sending fragments spiraling
Laid to rest by the dying light, its color surprising, you've been seeing it all along
You wanna be electric but you've gone too far
It's bound to kill you living like something you're not
Have you had enough?
It really is a shame that you took your hopes and decided to throw them all away
You can't really deny all that guilt inside til you finally burn the passed away
You had the whole world at your fingers now it's gone
You let the ghosts of years-gone-by live way too long
