about

'Lockdown Blues' captures the struggle of trying to stay positive and keep focused on gratitude, rather than succumbing to loneliness and all I felt I had lost.

lyrics

Trouble
There's trouble at home
In the silence she comes a'knocking
And I can fill my time just as good as anyone
But she pays no heed and leans on my door
Lockdown, everything in lockdown
Within these four walls, I build my defences
And to be honest, I struggle to distract myself
Now I'm alone, it's just a matter of time

When you feel that out you're of control
And a darkness has taken ahold
There's a moment of peace to be found
If you can bear to stand your ground
Because you cannot out-run yourself

Gaia, thank Gaia for the sea
Let the storms roll in, I'll wade out to greet them
Because it's fair game to meet your maker
So here I am, breaking free
Lockdown, everything in lockdown
But I'm tempted by silver linings
Because to be honest, what is the alternative?
Let trouble in and look her dead in the eye

When you feel that out you're of control
And a darkness has taken ahold
There's a moment of peace to be found
If you can bear to stand your ground
Because you cannot out-run yourself

I'll be waiting there's no point in trying
To escape what's already inside you
I'll be waiting there's no point in trying
To escape what's already inside you
I'll be waiting there's no point in trying
To escape what's already inside you
