about

This is one of those rare songs that just wrote itself. While creating the melody, all these words just started to pop up and made a story. It’s about becoming what you do and about how that might affect the people and things you’ll leave behind in the end.

lyrics

my lips starting to crack
I feel the desert sand when I wake up in the middle of the night
the sun is coming in, another night gets ruined 
I hear the grinder of my coffee machine 

the things you do, the things you leave behind

I wanna get away, give me another dream
‘cause I’m flying straight into the sun 

the things you do, the things you leave behind
the things you do, the things you leave behind
the things you do, the things you leave behind
