Set It Off, Set It Right

Bending all my habits
When I cared about my status
Let it go
No such thing as magic
I'm an artist with my tactics,
you should know
Middle meanings
it’s a lot to get out
Getting even
getting caught on the ground
[I was caught on the ground]
I could walk away, creased and folded
I could take another seat and hold my
own
I wasn’t
Gonna run away,
but I was there today
[Set it off set it off set it off set it right]
[Set it off set it off set it off set it right]
This doesn’t
have to end this way
But I was there today
[Set it off set it off set it off set it right]
[Set it off set it off set it off set it right]
Shaking out the fabric
I made up for what was lacking
on my own
Messin’ with the magic
You were moving, I was static
You should know
I was so solo, and I got hollow
How did it feel for you to say
so clearly
You could walk away creased and folded
You could take another seat and
hold your own
I wasn’t
Gonna run away,
but I was there today
[Set it off set it off set it off set it right]
[Set it off set it off set it off set it right]
This doesn’t
have to end this way
But I was there today
[Set it off set it off set it off set it right]
[Set it off set it off set it off set it right]

On The Eve Of The Rush
04:31
|

[Do you run away my love?]
Sentiment, all I had
I was down, paperweights on my back
Desert sand covering up my tracks
Oh my brother don’t make all those plans
Sentiment, left its mark
Got me spinning around in the dark
Swept the dust off my hands in the park
Oh my brother don’t pull it apart
[Do you run away my love?]
Did I lose touch?
Or did I take too much?
Did I prove enough
On the eve of rush?
Did I lose touch?
Or did I take too much?
Did I prove enough
On the eve of rush?
Sentiment all I had
I was down paperweights on my back
Give it all to show you my trust or run out my luck,
the time is up
Oh I know I’m not above being not enough
when I’m in the dust
Sentiment, left its mark
Kept me spinning around in the dark
Building all the walls around us
or filling my cup but only just
Oh I know I’m not above
Being strong enough
When I’m in the dust
Did I lose touch?
Or did I take too much?
Did I prove enough
On the eve of rush?
Did I lose touch?
Or did I take too much?
Did I prove enough
On the eve of rush?
Did I lose touch?
Or did I take too much?
Did I prove enough
On the eve of rush?
Did I lose touch?
Or did I take too much?
Did I prove enough
On the eve of rush?

Turn It Around
03:34

ooh
ooh
ooh
ooh
What?
Did the lie call you out?
Am I ready for a fight?
Am I ready for a fight?
So meet me when the light falls down
I’ve had it
Pulling us apart
it’s automatic
I got nothing left in my heart
I’m breaking
down down down
The pressure,
it’s methods
I’m running on red
Just get it together
it’s all in my head
A moment
a minute
to let it go
let it go
So see me when the night calls out
I got my heart in other places now
and always
sorry but enough is
ooh it’s enough
(I tried)
But I heard that I was letting you down
Just wait for me, I’ll turn it around
I heard that I was letting you down
Just wait for me, I’ll turn it around
(The) pressure
it’s methods
I know it’s not breaking
The heartache
the old weight
I know what it’s taking
(The) pressure
It’s methods
I know it’s not breaking us
So meet me when the light falls down
I’ve had it
nothing in my heart is automatic
Lemme take it back to the start
I’m breaking
down, down, down
ooh
ooh
ooh
ooh
(I tried)
But I heard that I was letting you down
Just wait for me, I’ll turn it around
I heard that I was letting you down
Just wait for me, I’ll turn it around

Ephemera

And I was only watching silence grow
Closed my eyes and knew you
Thought I had it proved
And I was only hoping to be weightless
See how far I could take this
but it seemed so slow/you...
You
waited so divided
I was undecided, yeah
Knew I could get lost....
(I knew...
(I threw it all away)
...I was only lost for one more day
in the riches I gave away
in the way I thought I was made oh-oh-ooh-ooh
[I wasn’t alone I wasn’t alone I wasn’t alone]
in the way I thought I was made, oh oh oh
[I wasn’t alone I wasn’t alone I wasn’t alone]
And she told me I would make it
only with
one thing
Wth one thing in mind
oh
And I was only watching gold in the fire
with one thing, one thing in
mind mind mind mind
[I wasn’t alone I wasn’t alone I wasn’t alone]

For Once
03:49
|
|||
|
I started
to feel it
just wish
I could stay on track
ooh
I couldn’t admit that
I wasn’t
so far ahead
I waited for hours and hours
and ran the distance in between
what we built for us to keep
There’s rhythm in the way we fall
There’s rhythm in the way we fall
apart
[Don’t feel afraid to be going all crazy]
Remember how you used to call
I never would have guessed we’d fall apart
[Don’t feel afraid to be going all crazy]
So take your time, take a walk
take what you need and what you want
I’m parked outside your boulevard
So I’ll be close in case you call
Take what’s mine, take it all
take everything if it’ll help you help yourself
(but) I’m steady for the reckoning
ooh
I’m steady for the reckoning
ooh
I’m ready to be everything at once
I’m steady for once
I’m steady for once
I started to feel it
the memories, I watched them bend ooh
So tell me I fixed it,
at least I’m beginning to mend
So
I’m waiting, I’m believing
I’ll let go of these secrets ohhhhhh
There’s rhythm in the way we fall
There’s rhythm in the way we fall
apart
[Don’t feel afraid to be going all crazy]
Remember how you used to call
I never would have guessed we’d fall apart
[Don’t feel afraid to be going all crazy]
So take your time, take a walk
take what you need and what you want
I’m parked outside your boulevard
So I’ll be close in case you call
Take what’s mine, take it all
take everything if it’ll help you help yourself
(but) I’m steady for the reckoning
ooh
I’m steady for the reckoning
ooh
I’m ready to be everything at once
I’m steady for once
I’m steady for once

Start Again
02:40
|
|||
|
I could re-arrange
or I could shy away
from all these guessing games
that I play
Staring into space
but I’m clouded by the haze,
surrounded as I’m find my way back to you
Are you giving up the feeling?
Are you scared of what you found?
Why you living in a fever?
Oh it only holds you down
Now I’m giving up the feeling
Oh I made it back
Oh I made it back, back, back
Find your feet
Oh let me in
Your minds awake
Don’t hesitate
to start again
Oh find your feet
and let it begin
Cuz the more you chase
the less you wait
to start again
I found better days
but if it’s temporary
I won’t be ashamed,
It’s a phase
Electric to be brave
Cuz’ I found an escape
Oh I washed it all away
way to soon
Are you giving up the feeling?
Are you scared of what you found?
Why you living in a fever?
Oh it only holds you down
Now I’m pushing back the ceiling
Oh I made it back
Oh I made it back, back, back
Find your feet
Oh let me in
Your minds awake
Don’t hesitate
to start again
Oh find your feet
and let it begin
Cuz the more you chase
the less you wait
to start again

I'm On My Way
03:45

Let down your guard
I’ve waited every year
I’ve waited every year
I’m on my way
Let down your guard
I’ve waited every year
I’ve waited every year
I’m on my way
I’m on my way
I’m on my way
And oh, let me hear
memories of all the years
out in your atmosphere
I’m on my way
In the light I knew
I would be far from silent
Holding up the distant sun
ritual for the smoke and iron
In the light I knew
never would I move in silence
Settle for an open book
I saw the way I was flying
Here in between the truth
I wasn’t far from you
Let down your guard
I’ve waited every year
I’ve waited every year
I’m on my way
Let down your guard
I’ve waited every year
I’ve waited every year
I’m on my way
I’m on my way
I’m on my way
And I’m always near
In memories of all the years
I’m in your atmosphere
I’m on my way

Away for a moment
I knew it wasn’t meant to feel so far
but I’m all in
oh I thought I’m beyond this
Maybe I’ll go tonight
and find the borderline
alright?
Astray with my motives
I knew I wasn’t made from sand and clay
like they told me oh
but I wanna belong here
Maybe i’ll go tonight,
and make it all alright
alright?
(Cuz) everything, all you see, I can hide
I’ll give it up, put it down, gemini,
I’ll live and learn, spin and turn
I’m alright
I’m alright
(Cuz) everything, all of me, I’m alive
I’m giving up my little lies, alibis
Tonight tonight
I’ll wait for a moment
I thought I’d be okay to play my part
like I promised
oh but I want to be honest
My balance in the air
I’m caught off guard again
again
(Cuz) everything, all you see, I can hide
I’ll give it up, put it down, gemini,
I’ll live and learn, spin and turn
I’m alright
I’m alright
(Cuz) everything, all of me, I’m alive
I’m giving up my little lies, alibis
Tonight tonight
Walk with defiance
out from the water
Take back the feeling
Let go of how they see ya

Higher Than This

Follow my eyes
I’ve got something to live for
Walkin’ the line
to show I’m not, I’m not alone
Hmm
Burnin’ the signs
but it's never that simple
Left it behind
but in my mind, it's never gone hmm
Count all the set-backs and let it all go
Throw it away but it’s stuck on your clothes
What are you hiding?
What are you running from?
So wait for
The fire
‘
Cuz you don't know what's higher
You don't know what's higher
So wait for
The fire
‘
Cuz you don't know what's higher
You don't know what's higher
than this
There’s something in the way that you walk away
and when you come back
it’s all the same
oh nothing’s changed
How could I get back and let it all go
Throw it away but it’s stuck on my clothes
What am I hiding?
What am I running from?
So wait for
The fire
‘
Cuz you don't know what's higher
You don't know what's higher
So wait for
The fire
‘
Cuz you don't know what's higher
You don't know what's higher
than this
You don’t what is coming
You don’t what you’re running from
You don’t what has fallen
You don’t what you’re running from
You don’t what is coming
You don’t what you’re running from
You don’t what has fallen
You don’t what you’re running from
So wait for
The fire
‘
Cuz you don't know what's higher
You don't know what's higher

You & I
04:16

I feel like you live in a different universe
Wrapped in a silhouette, a curse
Oh how your blindness cracks the dirt
I talk to you and I watch all our thoughts disperse
It’s just a silhouette, a burst
Oh how our silence cracks the earth
Ooh, Ooh Ooh
Ooh, Ooh Ooh
It’s just a silhouette, a burst
Oh how our silence cracks the earth
I only wanted what you wanted
You always seem to cross the line
We got a million scores to settle,
but I can’t put up a fight
Can't even say what got us started,
So who even cares who is right?
You and I, you and I
Only problem with me and you
Is you and I
I feel like you live in a different universe
We used to talk until it hurt
and now I wonder what it’s worth [ooh]
We’re hard wired to be better but we’re worse
And now our silence is a curse
look how our violence cracks the earth
I only wanted what you wanted
You always seem to cross the line
We got a million scores to settle,
but I can’t put up a fight
Can't even say what got us started,
So who even cares who is right?
You and I, you and I
Only problem with me and you
Is you and I
When we’re down
let it out, let me in
I don’t wanna begin this again
(but) let’s just try
let’s just try
I only wanted what you wanted
You always seem to cross the line
We got a million scores to settle,
but I can’t put up a fight
Can't even say what got us started,
So who even cares who is right?
You and I, you and I
Only problem with me and you
Is you and I
Only problem with me and you
is you and I

All The Worlds

(It’s) spring in my eyes,
surprised to say the mess is mine
What can I write,
when everything’s so intertwined?
oooh
You’re running through a city from long ago
in visions that I have of you letting go
Someone told me
I would be there
I could be there
I could see the stars
Someone told me
I would be there
I could be there
I could see the stars
And I thought I wasn’t gonna
find your heart in other places
When the night it falls
And you’re alone
Above all the worlds
You used to know
Don’t forget it was time that took our hands
and told us how fate was all we had,
now here I am waiting for my chance
Imagine if we cried,
the walls bent in the candlelight
A modern goodbye
watching all the world go by
I wonder what you gave up long ago?
Cuz I keep dreaming of my own shadows
Oooh
Someone told me
I would be there
I could be there
I could see the stars
Someone told me
I would be there
I could be there
I could see the stars
and I thought I wasn’t going to find your heart
in other places
When the night it falls
and you’re alone above all the worlds
you used to know
don’t forget it was
Time that took our hands
and told us how
Fate was all we had,
so here I am waiting for my chance

On Highways (aug 4)

Every step you took
You’re always on your way
But I would never look
I got lost instead
I was only there once it’s true
I could only hold out my hands
cuz I need you now more than ever I’ve been running
and I told you once
I been healing, but I’m burning today
don’t throw it all away
I was only there once it’s true
On highways
we built with sand I knew you
On highways
I held your hands I knew you
So I asked myself
how to be alone
I could not pretend
I was always strong
so I asked myself
how to be alone
I could not pretend
I was always strong

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche.

Untourable Album
by Men I Trust
supported by 9 fans who also own “Cleave”
A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe.
