Story Behind the Song
The song is about commitment. It's about committing fully before you even start something. All the extremists out there will know what I'm talking about! The song was written midsummer 2002 in the swealtering heat of F.O.E's practice space. It took about 20 hours to write, but F.O.E recorded at Que Recording it in one take; because, we're so tight when we play.
Lyrics
There are certain circumstances
We encounter in our tranquil lives
That tear it apart at the seams,
Obscuring clarity,
Fucking up the dreams
That we hold so dear.
Oh so dear!
But we always clear our minds,
And set our hearts upon the
Journey once more.
Power full bore!
We may be sinners, yeah.
But we ain't quitters, no;
To save our lives,
Ride out the highs.
Get down with the lows.
Ride out the skies.
Get dirty with the earth,
The earth;
Our birth.
It's okay, baby.
We've hit rough times before.
And we've always made it through.
We're gonna be alright.
We've got each other.
That's all we need.
Yes, our life together
Hasn't always been
The greatest,
But look at the history
We have together;
The shit that we've overcome!
The darkness will dissapate again
I promise you it will.
It always has in the past
Hold fast, baby.
Hold tight to me.
Don't give in to the darkness.
We're gonna last till the morning.
I'm here for you --
As I have been all along.
You're not alone, baby.
We're in this together.
It's you and me, baby.
It's you and me, forever.
Rrraaaaaah!
Ride out the highs.
Get down with the lows.
Ride out the skies.
Get dirty with the earth,
The earth;
Our birth.
We need each other
To weather this storm
Stick together
Modern love
Is just
an illusion.
There is love enough for all of us.
We just don't have it in ourselves.
