Young is the title track of our upcoming debut EP, Young EP. We are excited to share this as our very first single off the EP. We hope you enjoy.

Young

Alone when we were young and full of life and full of joy
We'd take the train all the way down to the coast
Where we would stand and look at the waves and fall down to our knees
And sing and sing and sing and sing and sing

We'd search all over rocks and shores and find no gold
We'd stare into the abyss of the wailing shore
And long and long and long and long we'd live

And then nature it took us in
And though time it was cold it was cold and it was thin
But now here we are here we are here we are again

Alone when we'd be chased all over by the moon
And the stars would shine their lights and make us feel like criminals
Well it was too late was too late was too late for us

And then nature it took us in
And though time it was cold it was cold and it was thin
But now here we are here we are here we are again

And no valley nor mountain high
That we could not climb we could we could not climb
And no fire nor flame we could not fight
Now here we are here we are here we are again
Chasing the rainbow the rainbow the rainbows.

Young

Sodom is about longing for something in your past that hurt you. It's about getting past that and not letting it hurt you anymore.

Sodom - Arc The Forest

Turn away from this city
Turn away from this home
Run away from all, all of this poison now

Take your heart and run away
Don't get caught in this fire
I'm gonna bring it down
Bring it down in the ashes now

Turn away from this city
Leave your things behind
Run and don't look back
Don't look back

Why do you look back?
Your longing has destroyed you
Why'd you follow your tracks,
instead of starting new?

Turn away from this city
Leave your things behind
Run and don't look back
Don't look back

Take shelter in a land not far from mine

Sodom

Young is our debut self-recorded extended play. It is about lost friendship, longing,heartbreak, self-realisation and saying sorry to someone you hurt. We are super proud of it and think it's extremely relatable. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Lyrical allure and sonic fullness align in the questioning of existence and coming of age.

5. The Dip

Embers is a perseverance anthem fusing electronic production with the unique alternative rock style Arc The Forest is known for. The song is a powerful statement embodying the lyrics "I will keep on running til my body's burning out" and was written as a remark on societal prejudice and the way it so often defines people.

Embers

Under-glorified indie pop band from the Cape Town, South Africa. We're much bigger in our imaginations.
