about

The theme for ‘Relics’ is one that approaches the subject of those who live in their own narcissistic bubble, generally looking down on others, and taking life, and even the earth itself for granted. The song outlines how we should be grateful to exist on this planet, and to bare in mind the vastness of the universe to put our own lives in perspective.

lyrics

Do you recognise these constant flaws?
when you obtain your higher ground
Gazing down from your ivory tower
where you can ignore every sight and sound
Nothing but a spectacle to all but yourself

In the face of it all
You can't see just how privileged you are
to witness the light of our dying star
When we're not even relics 
relics (relics)

We witness your complacency
like a fly, just so unaware of the world in which you feed
but still you’re gazing down from your ivory tower
where you can ignore every sight and sound

In the face of it all
You can't see just how privileged you are
to witness the light of our dying star
When we're not even relics 
relics (relics)

We're only finite
under starlight
'lest we forget'
This is no final plea
and I know you'll never see
we're just here on our own
