I saw it coming, like a deer in the headlights
I did nothing, let it all come crashing down
Tear all my insides out
I didn't even make a sound
I saw it coming, like a tea leaf tarot card reader
I did nothing, laid both palms face down
When the maelstrom came around
I didn't even make a sound
There's a certain degree of futility when examining all the histories
Of all these beings with the gall to believe in the ability to alter their destinies
Only ever coming to see the vain quality of everything
Just accept it and move on
I saw it coming, like a rider on a derailing train
I did nothing, let my world come tumbling down
Strapped in and ready to drown
I didn't even make a sound
There's a certain degree of futility when examining all the histories
Of all these beings with the gall to believe in the ability to alter their destinies
Only ever coming to see the vain quality of everything
Just accept it and move on
The violence, the pain, the love and the praise
The passionate nights and the hard luck days
The ebb and the flow of your clarity
Caught in the undertow of a beautiful, remorseless sea
At once worth nothing yet meaning everything
Every rose wilts, just move on

In Adrian Snood’s songs, soulful vocals and slow-moving alt-pop swirl together to create something distinctly moving. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 1, 2023
