Futures and Goodbyes

from Days Without Incident by T-Rex Marathon

about

This is the song that kinda shows we know how to play music. It’s the only song on the album that could remotely be considered progressive rock/metal (but it really isn’t). The song deviates away from conventional song structure in favour of a more fluid and natural progression. Riffs seldom repeat themselves and instead ebbs and flows to go with the lyrical content. There are time signature, key, and tempo changes that fluidly go into each other. Starting with a Pink Floyd inspired section, it transitions seamlessly from there to a Coheed and Cambria inspired section to finish up on a dirty blues section. It’s a demonstration of guitar abilities and also does not feature Jeremy on bass. Instead Aaron occupies that role.

lyrics

How wide the sky appears, o’er this growing land.
How the green still lingers along the concrete sand.

I find it hard to remember the sky while I’m in bed
And hear the haggard whispers of poems left unsaid.

Still I wander.
Still I wonder,
Where shall it take me?
The unknown.

It’s not that they’re not written, or spoken in bitter tones.
They’re etched in corners hidden, they’re underneath out bones

Futures and goodbyes
Futures and goodbyes

Futures and goodbyes they are waiting
Did you forget to see me before you go?

Futures and goodbyes they are waiting
I know that I won’t be missed when I must go

Futures and goodbyes they are waiting
For you to get up and take this life in your hands.

Futures and goodbyes they are waiting
Did you forget to see me before you go?

Before you go
Before you go
