lyrics
Clean strum intro (peaceful, nostalgic)
A 00:00-00:05 -INTRO MOD ON B
No vocals
B 00:06-00:18
No vocals
C 00:18-00:30
No vocals
B 00:31-00:42
My aunt lived in a green glenn
Where we ate bitter jam
C 00:43-00:53 -BUILD
As planes flew overhead
D 00:55-01:03 - TRANSITION (ominous)
I smiled and flailed my arms about
at the men up in the clouds
but when bombs came crashing down
we ran and hid under the house
Chorus
E 01:04-01:17 -SYNTH/SAX
No vocals
F 01:18-01:32 - DROP (danger)
Later on inside our building
Through the door my mom stood peering
At looted apartments left behind
A By neighbors who snuck away in the night
E 01:33-01:39 -SOAR
The war is here we realized
F 1:40-1:44 -DROP
Refugee families
Quickly moved in
To the vacant tenements
VERSE 1
G 1:45-1:59
Pause for synth solo @ 01:48
So many new kids to play with
We shared toys and they shared lice
F 2:00-2:14
We played outside with toy trucks
Paving roads out of sawdust
When shells dropped we would cover and duck
And laugh at how my big ol’ butt stuck up
G 2:16-2:28
Pause for synth solo @ 02:23
Making games out of lost battles
who can find the biggest shrapnel
Verse 2 (anger at the betrayal, devastation)
H 2:29-2:56 -heavy
I missed my
Friends when we
Had to flee
To Zagreb
I 2:57-3:01 -heavy build!
My dad wasn’t home for months at a time
H 3:09-3:14
My mom slept
I 3:15-3:19
With a grenade launcher under
Chorus kinda (escape/survival)
J 3:20-3:26 -TRANSITION
her bed
E 3:27-3:41- again sing epicly here :)
Dreaming one day we would be safe back home
K 3:42-3:50 -descent
Big strum outro (life moves on , but memories remain, war persists, but you have to make the best of the life you have?)
B 3:31-4::08 -SLIGHT DROP ON B (TIMING CHOICE)
Dad smuggled munitions
saved our town from annihilation
L 4:09-4:28 -BRIDGE→ BUILD
Filling towers up with bombs
Getting beat by the cops
B 4:29-4:47 ULTIMATE
Though the house was still intact
We never got our home back
