Circa Survive – Glass Arrows Lyrics

Circa Survive · Blue Sky Noise

Alternative

Stay as still as
You think you should be
Your stolen memories
Will find you
In the last place
You would think to look
All the time that it took to locate
Maybe it'll just pass by you
Or rip right through your heart
Underneath the surface
We break apart
Disappeared from public places never seen again
How long has it been?
How long has it been?
Underneath the surface
None of us deserve this
Underneath the surface we break apart
Disappeared from public places never seen again
How long has it been?
How long has it been?
I don't want excuses
I don't want apologies
Disappeared from public places never seen again
How long has it been?
How long has it been?

This song is about past events and memories that have occurred at some point and since then remained hidden in a sense, not thought about, seemingly existing under the surface. none of us deserve this, none of us deserve to fear these memories re-appearing. the first part of the song is about the ways in which past memories can affect you when they reemerge, either violently or passively. the fear of when and the way in which these memories are going reappear is the main theme of the song. the excuses, apologies, section is a demonstration of the reaction that other people may have to these hidden memories/actions, intensifying the fear.
