I was nothing but a free man
But I was coming in last
Always going nowhere fast
I was swimming in the deep end
But now I'm doing just fine
Falling in and out of line
In over my head
I had nothing but a lifespan
But I was letting it slide
Always going for the ride
I was shoring up a cheap grin
But now I'm feeling alright
Breaking in and out of white
There's no bloody mirage you can count on
There's no boulevard teeming with swings
It's far from all that, but there's no turning back
From the nightmare you find in a dream
Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.
