Lyrics:

I don’t know what you say
I don’t know what you said to me
I feel rain under the sea
I don’t feel your love for me

Don’t know why, it feels so wrong
Voices sound like I am numb
Can’t move on, can’t help myself, I miss you

Talk to me, talk to me, I wanna feel your misery
Starry-eyed is my disguise, I hope you know
Talk to me, talk to me, I wanna feel your misery
Starry-eyed is my disguise, you don’t know what it means to me

I feel rain under the sea
I don’t feel your love for me
Don’t know why, it feels so wrong
Voices sound like I am numb
Can’t move on, can’t help myself, I miss you

Talk to me, talk to me, I wanna feel your misery
Starry-eyed is my disguise, I hope you know
Talk to me, talk to me, I wanna feel your misery
Starry-eyed is my disguise, I hope you know

Talk to me, talk to me, I wanna feel your misery
Starry-eyed is my disguise, I hope you know
Talk to me, talk to me, I’m lost in you entirely
Starry-eyed is my disguise, you don’t know what it means to me

Starry-Eyed

The Fountain of Youth Mantra

The River is a dub-inspired psychedelic garage-folk track recorded live in single unedited takes in a Helsinki apartment.

The track is inspired by the quiet menace of countryside rituals - in this case, cricket - the song blends wrong-footed melodies, rough-edged guitars, and reggae-tinged bass guitar.

Island Wastrel is the project of Adie Kaye, a former RAK Studios engineer who worked with Kate Nash and The Last Shadow Puppets.

The River

The storm is coming
The storm is here
Take shelter
Stay near

Withstand
The wrath
Withstand
The pain

Open the drain
Open the drain

Love can rescue
From emotional darkness
Love can rescue
From emotional darkness

Let the water flow
Flow it all down
Let the water flow
Wipe off the frown

Lift yourself up
Get strong again
Walk along
Always defend

Open the drain
Open the drain

Love can rescue
From emotional darkness
Love can rescue
From emotional darkness

Let the water flow
Flow it all down
Let the water flow
Wipe off the frown

Lift yourself up
Get strong again
Walk along
Always defend

Open the drain
Open the drain

Love can rescue
From emotional darkness
Love can rescue
From emotional darkness

Your heart
Your emotions
Your dreams
Your devotion

Can make you fly
Can make you live
Can help you get
To where you've been

Open the drain
Open the drain

Love can rescue
From emotional darkness
Love can rescue
From emotional darkness

Open the Drain

Truth
Sets you free
Truth
Helps you believe
Truth
Makes you see
Truth
Cures your need

Confidence
With your truth
Confidence
With your truth

Lying to yourself
Makes no sense
With the lack of confidence
At your expense

When you accept your truth
Life will be better
When you accept your truth
Life won't be sadder

Confidence
With your truth
Confidence
With your truth

Believe in who you are
Believe in what you do
Nobody is in competition
With you

The only competition
Is yourself
Making yourself better
Not like anyone else

Confidence
With your truth
Confidence
With your truth

Confidence With Your Truth (Reprise)
