Songtexte Demons - AER

Sometime in the third or fourth lockdown
I was on my seventeenth or eighteenth breakdown
Things had just fallen apart
She had broken my heart
And i said 'let's go to the city'

Manchester always looked pretty
But all lonely and feeling shitty
I think it hit different
Somewhat less vociferant
I still think about it a lot

I still think about it a lot

I think you'd kill me if you knew
How much i cling to the past
And i'm not moving faster
Like i probably should

Just need a moment to recalibrate
Find my bearings
Correcting course

Gone from just chilling
To near three years later
And i'm still playing catch-up from 2019

Singing 'bout permanence
I don't prefer my loneliness
I just want to make that clear

I just want to make that clear

What's it like on the rich side of town?
Does everybody look at you like a demon?
I thought you'd never be caught dead
Living downstairs from those you thought wouldn't want you there

What's it like back on my side?
Well the neighbour's still loud but i drown it out
Would i be crazy to move
When i got nothing to lose?
Sometimes it's like you never left

Sometimes it's like you never left
