about

I can sometimes have a bit of a self destructive side and this is what this song is about really, spending time with people that aren’t good for you - ‘You drive me insane but make it fun’ kind of embodies that sentiment. It’s a pretty anthemic, 90’s sounding track so I wanted to balance that with something a little darker which was inspired by Ava Adore era Smashing Pumpkins. In the studio we were layering lots of feedback and distorted synths to have some juxtaposition against a song that’s otherwise a pretty big pop track.

lyrics

The concrete cracks I can’t relax or rest my mind
On repeat I see the streets we’d waste our time
Hours won’t pass, fill my glass and lay around
Guess I’m a mess now you’re never coming round
I though there was something more

We left in a heatwave summer sun
You drive me insane but make it fun
It’s like we disappear, everything is clear
and then crash when the night is done
As we walk back into the sun

You’ve been hiding in the corners of my mind
You built me up, we made a splash - washed by the tide
Innocence breaks and bends, then it leaves
We can try and reach that high we’re thick as thieves

We left in a heatwave summer sun
You drive me insane but make it fun
It’s like we disappear, everything is clear
and then crash when the night is done
As we walk back into the sun
As we walk back into the sun

And I was wondering if you wanted some more?
‘cause if you call me up, I’ll be right outside your door
We can make it last - make it habitual
I’m never going back, It’s a new ritual

We left in a heatwave summer sun
You drive me insane but make it fun
We left in a heatwave summer sun
You drive me insane but make it fun
