In My Senses 04:51
I’m falling down from the heights There’s no way to stay on my senses That I left beside you So I could smell you when I’m gone I’m cushioned in shallow water As salty as it could ever be There’s no way to drown I’m wrapped in plastic I’m falling down from the heights I’m falling down form the heights I know that I said I’ll come back to you When it’s over I know that I said I’ll come back I know that I said I’ll come back to you And it’s over I know that I said I’ll come back to you And it’s over
2.
Break Into 04:03
This can’t go far Not without our pain For you to see what’s only mine To break into our past This can’t hold fire I move into nothing Of all the blunders This shook me hard I don’t feel my heart I’ll be inside
3.
Noon 04:19
As I return One to rule, yeah While feeling lonely I’ve been lonely Makes a holocaust Drown them out I made it long and lasting And I extend My future here Then failing surely Makes a providence Glossed in war Moving, falling falling backwards
4.
Not A Thing 01:36
5.
Fireworks, fireworks I become into the sky Fireworks, fireworks I become into the sky
6.
Landscaper 04:12
What got you to follow Made you swallow, day and night They have have the world watching their ways And they climb your fences And make you hideout in your basement They know you like the back of their hand One man who's colours Covering in a nation's tower Looks like a mob's been sent your way And all that you've seen before Are nothing but landscaped lies What made you follow And got you hollow yeah What made you follow And got you hollow yeah
7.
Other Side 03:55
Different sides that fray Iʼll be right tonight Iʼll be right tonight Till you put me in this light Opinions as theyʼre made I've been warned tonight I've been warned tonight Wrong is not a side of mine
8.
Still 03:30
9.
Dripping 04:28
I’ve been coming at you Lay your arms down and hide I’ve been coming at you Make good plans to run away I’ve been coming at you Throw a well aimed punch I’ll try backing away Dripping through my nostrils

about

Black Letters’ Still As You looks at all those universal themes of hitting your late twenties: love, connections, trust, dependency, loneliness, money. That’s not to say that the band consider loneliness to always be negative, rather how you start to become aware of the fact that loneliness is there in everyone’s life, something that can be used productively to drive you forward creatively.

Still As You has a dreamy quality to it musically, but lyrically it tells a subtly different story. The album’s words are fraught with ambiguity and a sense of loss. Still As You sounds like trying to move on in your personal relationships, but feeling too trapped to do so. This release is not explicitly political in its lyrical sentiments, but the band believe that the album’s tension and occasional melancholy moment is the subconscious result of a whole world in turmoil.
