A song that went through a total evolution at the rehearsal place. It was originally a much slower, much more mellow song. Lyrics drew inspiration of the end of a long relationship, depression and other uncomfortable elements in Wright's life at the time such as his father dying of cancer.
Lyrics
Departures
It beggars belief to behold,
the cold we hold in our hearts
and the distance we’ve drifted apart
Get battered enough, broken, laid bare,
losing the capacity to care
What once seemed the be all and end all,
pales into indifference
I’m in a free fall
Sometimes it takes a death to feel alive
I’m a breakwater in the tide
Good things are hard to come by, but easy go
I’ve seen departures in a steady flow
We’re but reflections of each other
With each and every farewell,
I lose a piece of myself
Sometimes it takes a death to feel alive
I’m a breakwater in the tide
