Official video for Stolen Days:

The new single ‘Stolen Days' was written with long-time friend Alisa Xayalith of The Naked And Famous and showcases the first work the two have done together post- band departure. Speaking about the lyrical themes, Alisa said “The words came from the feeling of being strongly affected by things out of your control that have the capacity to soak up your time and drain you emotionally. There’s hope in the lyrics of this song because I believe in the little victories that can lead you out of feeling emotionally winded and stranded.”

Accompanying the release is the music video directed by animator Isabel Garrett who said “I wanted to hold onto the idea of being mentally trapped inside a space and only occasionally being able to see clearly. Turning this into a physical world seemed to make sense, with the exterior being really rich and filled with natural life, and the interior space being dark and claustrophobic.”.

lyrics

Come entice me with a good time
Tease me with the light
Open up my eyes

My baby blues need rosy colored lenses
I gotta mend, rewire my defenses
Hit me with a static shock
Don’t wanna watch the ticking clock
And waste away these stolen days inside an everlasting haze

Come entice me with a good time
Tease me with the light
Open up my eyes
I wouldn’t mind feeling more alive
A golden state of mind

You know I’m on the inside looking out
The flowers bloom and die so soon
I’m feeling sick with doubt
No such thing will guarantee
No promises or remedy say
All of my tomorrows will be better than all my yesterdays

Come entice me with a good time
Tease me with the light
Open up my eyes
I wouldn’t mind feeling more alive
A golden state of mind

Maybe you might
Get me outta my mind
Say it’s alright
To face the world outside
Lately my nights
Pull me deeper inside
But maybe you might
Get me outta my mind

Come entice me with a good time
Tease me with the light
Open up my eyes
I wouldn’t mind feeling more alive
A golden state of mind
