about

This is a song about the empty promises of escapism. Some years, you’ll use a ton of your headspace just looking forward to something only to be weighed down by your own nagging thoughts when that thing finally comes to be. Loosely inspired by the essays of David Foster Wallace, this is a riff on the tendency I had in the past to sabotage my own happiness, however hard-earned it was. We’ve got to learn to find a beach anywhere we can.

lyrics

I found a beach to hold me down and I can see // what little work I’ve done has got the best of me // I wrote a thousand words to tell you all about the way // I made some early plans and burnt it all down later in the day // there’s no vacation for me now // some people need a place to be let down // I’ll write again // I promise you // somebody’s sad in heaven // and you might be too // I punched the gate and broke the only hand I had // I found the coast and buried wallets in the sand // there’s no vacation for me now // some people need a place to be let down
