about

Grayscale Holiday is about how life is always moving fast and we're always getting older and losing things that we once had, but there are some really small pockets in the timeline where everything seems to slow down. There are some moments, particularly when you have to say goodbye to something or someone, where you just slow down and appreciate all that you have before it's all taken away. As a result, in many ways it is an ode to past friendships and the places that they were cultivated; it's about the intersection of space and time. Grayscale Holiday was written to evoke the feeling that one gets when they realize that the world is so much bigger than them, but in that moment, they realize they're okay and that they're going to be okay.

lyrics

The city's sleeping
The snow blankets
The monolith (alone)
Time you thief, we're briefly gorgeous
The train is coming, last moments, slow motion (so slow)
We dance like a holiday
And who?
(are, are, are, are, are)
(alone, alone, alone, I know)

Street lights
Shine down like spotlights
The wind cuts through
On those familiar nights
The universe had briefly noticed us
Felt so significant
Fine for a moment
We're beautiful
Before the funerals
Headstone apartments
Packed into boxes

We're moving on
Before the view is gone
Fine for a moment
For the curtain calls
