about

It seems that it's become a tradition that the mix file for the opening track gets corrupted! Just like Flipside, this song's Audacity mix file got corrupted... luckily, Ty had the instrumental version bounced beforehand and we were able to overdub the vocals.

I guess this gives a good feel for the album as a whole? It's about new interactions and such and fighting your own pessimistic mind to follow through in them.

lyrics

(A push then a pull)
Let's get this thing started
(Trade a kiss for a scar)
My thoughts are now sorted for once
(This connection is better)
This could happen, well
(Than you'd like to admit)
I think it's working

I, oh I think I, I’m on cloud, cloud nine
Every kind of divide has been chewed and swallowed, alright

(A push then a pull)
Let's get this thing started
(Trade a kiss for a scar)
My thoughts are now sorted for once
(This connection is better)
This could go well
(Than you'd like to admit)
I think it's working

Oh I think I, I think I'm back on this unknown thing called
High cloud nine, and it feels better than it did the first time

This is not an encounter where you buy things and pretend to care
We'll bypass it all to cut straight to the only things we dare
