melatonin

Description

from just after the fabulist era, this song came to us after fabulist extended was released, as we began thinking about what we wanted to explore sonically. at the time, this was the most uptempo song we'd ever written. as we moved into what eventually became komorebi, meltaonin fell outside of the komorebi's overarching concepts of reflection and morality, and therefore wasn't included.

it remained always top of mind when we thought about where our music could go, with the sonics and lyrical imagery informing much of the music that was written later for komorebi. overall, it remains one of our favorite songs for its easy, energetic feeling combined with the songs overall dynamic shifts.

called into the cemetery

ghosts are singing next to me

all i want to see is seas

sigh in my ear let me be

don’t go breaking up

twigs and melatonin’s

hard to make a wrong

i try but don’t succeed

i just need to leave

breathing’s all i want left

so dont let dont let it go

dont let it go now

hiding by the evergreen

sensing myself in the trees

helping myself everyday

curling lightbulbs into me

don’t go breaking up

twigs and melatonin’s

hard to make a wrong

i try but don’t succeed

i just need to leave

breathing’s all i want left

so dont let dont let it go

dont let it go now
