about

This is a live-demo of the first track on our album. We like the idea of making a 'bare bones' demo - allowing fans of the music to hear the song condensed down to a live performance with a few instruments.
If you like this version, be sure to check out the album version on our first album 'Digital Scars'.

The song is inspired by Shakespeare's 64th Sonnet, which looks at the idea that time eventually erodes everything. I was very taken aback as to how modern and relevant Shakespeare's sonnet seems to modern life despite the fact that it was written in the early 1600s.

The song itself tracks a love story that begins as early mammals were evolving and the dinosaurs dying, possibly due to the famous Chicxulub asteroid impact in Mexico. This love remains intertwined with this pair and is passed on through hundreds of thousands of generations as the mammals evolve, their love eventually ending up in a pair of humans. This love could, of course, have found its way into any modern day animal. A love story set over 100 million years seemed like a lot more fun than the usual 2 months....!

But as written in the 64th sonnet, Shakespeare correctly ruminates that time will eventually catch up with everything and, ultimately, in this song, time does eventually catch up with the pair involved. A sad ending, but at least it lasted for 100 million years - that's not bad ...

lyrics

What were the lights that fell through the sky ?
Now the forests they burn as the dinosaurs die.
Lets hide underground in the roots of the redwood tree.

Now time it will come and speed us away.
Don't ever look back, now I am holding your hand.
Our love's like the code that runs through our DNA,
We're practically the same.

The days and the hours, I´m scared,
That time will come and take our love away.
'cos when I look around
I see the change of the seasons I dodge the second hand,
it'll skewer us and lead us to decay.
Cause time will come and take our love away.

I see the second hand./Tick, tock, it never stops
Run from the hour glass./ Tick, tock it never stops
But I know I ll make you mine./ Tick, tock it never stops
In time. /In Time.

Now time it will come and speed us away.
Don't ever look back, now I am holding your hand.
Our love's like the code that runs through our DNA,
We're practically insane.

The days and the hours, I´m scared,
That time will come and take our love away.
'cos when I look around
I see the change of the seasons I dodge the second hand,
it'll skewer us and lead us to decay.
Cause time will come and take our love
I know time will take our love
Time is gonna take our love away
