The View From Below
from When Losing Everything Is Everything You Wanted by Departures
lyrics
Everything’s the same
Feeling so fucking drained
Voice stretched out across the discordant tones
That fill up my life
Maybe I’m just wrapped up in self pity
Or maybe it’s the thought of all this repetition
My head is pounding and it’s only silence
Coming out of these headphones
I’ll wait forever on a tomorrow that never comes
It’s all I have
Driving but I can’t see the road anymore
I always seem to miss the turn off
My tank is running so low
It’s running scared
Because I’ve got nowhere to go
I’m wading through this life
Wading through a life I barely know as my own
Giving up instead of growing up
It’s all I’ve ever known
The cycle really has to end
I’m still waiting
For my guiding light
To reignite
All my teenage dreams
Are coming back to laugh at me
But I’m climbing out this hole
It’s taken 25 years to dig
Waiting for my guiding light to reignite
Feeling so fucking drained
Voice stretched out across the discordant tones
That fill up my life
Maybe I’m just wrapped up in self pity
Or maybe it’s the thought of all this repetition
My head is pounding and it’s only silence
Coming out of these headphones
I’ll wait forever on a tomorrow that never comes
It’s all I have
Driving but I can’t see the road anymore
I always seem to miss the turn off
My tank is running so low
It’s running scared
Because I’ve got nowhere to go
I’m wading through this life
Wading through a life I barely know as my own
Giving up instead of growing up
It’s all I’ve ever known
The cycle really has to end
I’m still waiting
For my guiding light
To reignite
All my teenage dreams
Are coming back to laugh at me
But I’m climbing out this hole
It’s taken 25 years to dig
Waiting for my guiding light to reignite

I just picked Making Maps as my favorite because I had to pick A track. In reality, I have no idea what track is my favorite. This entire album is amazing. I was totally blown away when I heard it and I can't stop listening to it.

I'm sorry I missed out on this band 'til now. Landscapes sound excellent, a must for any fan of UKHC in the first decade of the century. I'd put them on a playlist with early Gallows, Alexisonfire, Comeback Kid, Dead Swans, Lay It On The Line, Mercury League and HHH.

There's a clear inheritance from bands like Saetia & Envy here, but Frameworks throws in a whole lot more: a blast beat here, a little ambient horn there. This is a very polished and evocative EP, the instant soundtrack to whatever time period in which you first discovered it.
