about

This is about isolation, hiding away, and the danger that the more time one gets alone, the more one ceases to properly function without it. There is no inherent wrong in this in itself, if that is what you want. But in these times of self isolation and social distancing, one needs to be careful one doesn't become a social cemetery.

lyrics

Spending time alone agin
You need a holiday, some time to get away
Playing with the truth
You said you’d never be a social cemetery

Away away away
Away away away
Away away away
Away away away

Intellectual
You are more shocking than a flaming caravan
Enigma through and through
No jaded prophecy, or wasted legacy

Away away away
Away away away
Away away away
Away away away

Painting with your hand
Helps you understand
The way the light can twist and turn

Painting with your mind
Maybe you will find
The way the light can twist and turn and turn
And turn

Spending time alone agin
You need a holiday, some time to get away

Away away away
Away away away
Away away away
Away away away
