"Holiday" is a song about balancing escapist coping mechanisms and optimistic introspective reflection. It was written in early 2018.
lyrics
I left a trail so I could find my way
I'll take a trip and have a holiday
No god above me but the Sun and Moon
To hold me back from what I wanna do
I'll take a trip and have a holiday
And in the dead of night
Got me swaying by your candle light
Just burning away
Yes, until the wind comes in and takes me back to you
It's getting trickier to just maintain
The way the world is going up in flames
Stood on the landing taking in all that rain
To soothe a fire in my aching brain
Can't try too hard to make a good thing last
Can't dwell at all upon your precious past
Just take a trip and have a holiday
And in the dead of night
Got me swaying by your candle light
Just burning away, yeah now hold me back
And in the dead of night
Got me swaying by your candle light
Just burning away
Until the wind comes in and takes me back to you
I left a trail so I could find my way
I'll take a trip and have a holiday
No god above me but the Sun and Moon
To hold me back from what I wanna do
I'll take a trip and have a holiday
