about

Based around a repeating and mesmerising organ riff, Nightmare Of 1984 is a slow-building and eerie sounding anthem, a paean to anxiety and apathy, and asks as many questions as it answers before it explodes into a epically joyous bridge held aloft by voices and drums.

lyrics

I can barely breath anymore
Like my hand is holding
my own head underwater

Pouring underneath my door
I'm thirty four and I'm sure
I don't have many more things to...

Do you forget all the bad things
the older you get?
Is it truly surprising to hear
that there's things I regret.

I can barely sleep anymore
With the thought of machines
watching when I'm not breathing

Nightmare of 1984
I know the score but it's more
than I think we should ask them to...

Do you forget all the bad things
the older you get?
Is it truly surprising to hear
that there's things I regret.

I can barely speak anymore
Not for want or no reason
I can't talk at all

Like my words could fuel another war
I have heard this before,
though I try to ignore what they...

Do you forget all the bad things
the older you get?
Is it truly surprising to hear
that there's things I regret.
