melatonin

from just after the fabulist era, this song came to us after fabulist extended was released, as we began thinking about what we wanted to explore sonically. at the time, this was the most uptempo song we'd ever written. as we moved into what eventually became komorebi, meltaonin fell outside of the komorebi's overarching concepts of reflection and morality, and therefore wasn't included.

it remained always top of mind when we thought about where our music could go, with the sonics and lyrical imagery informing much of the music that was written later for komorebi. overall, it remains one of our favorite songs for its easy, energetic feeling combined with the songs overall dynamic shifts.

lyrics
called into the cemetery
ghosts are singing next to me
all i want to see is seas
sigh in my ear let me be

don’t go breaking up
twigs and melatonin’s
hard to make a wrong
i try but don’t succeed
i just need to leave
breathing’s all i want left

so dont let dont let it go
dont let it go now

hiding by the evergreen
sensing myself in the trees
helping myself everyday
curling lightbulbs into me

don’t go breaking up
twigs and melatonin’s
hard to make a wrong
i try but don’t succeed
i just need to leave
breathing’s all i want left

so dont let dont let it go
dont let it go now
