Look But Don't Touch

Lyrics:

Been away for such a long time 
With no plans of return 
I’ve been walking such a fine line 
And the rope begins to burn 

See I never meant to leave you there 
But that’s exactly what I did 
Tried to follow every step with care 
But once I took off the lid 

Well the lot just kind of crumbled 
While you waited in the wings 
Never thought it would be simple 
But it got a bit unhinged 
You’re never one to make demands 
Even when the panic rings 
You still catch me when I stumble 
mother of all my things 

These kids are getting quicker 
Sometimes the butterfly don’t float 
Wish that I could tag you in 
Show em how rope-a-dope 

We can’t stop them getting older 
Just gotta give them room to breathe 
But when they lean against my shoulder 
I remember you and me 

When it all began to crumble 
While you waited in the wings 
Never thought it would be simple 
But it got a bit unhinged 
You’re never one to make demands 
Even when the panic rings 
You still catch me when I stumble 
mother of all my things 
mother of all my things 
Mother

Mother's Day

Lyrics:
Awake, now
But filled with apparitions of the times
I let you down
But somehow
A part of me's still waiting for your voice
To bring me hope

And I tell you that the words don't matter
But they fall across the sky in a heavenly view
Before I know I'm chasing after
Back to you
And I know there's so much space between us
But none of that can stop me from making it through
And now I'm gonna keep on running
Back to you
Back to you

You send
Resounding truths that echo through my soul
And lead me home
To new life
Far beyond my own strength cuz with you
I'm soaring free

And I tell you that the words don't matter
But they fall across the sky in a heavenly view
Before I know I'm chasing after
Back to you
And I know there's so much space between us
But none of that can stop me from making it through
And now I'm gonna keep on running
Back to you
Back to you

Back To You

return to mycelium

Oh, Robyn

I didn't know you long before you let me go
I didn't think you cured me but I had to know
Did you like my songs, did you like my show
Did you just endure me psychological

Doctor Robyn (All that shit upon your desk)
Dear Robyn (Polish it and call it blessed)
Oh, Robyn (Anecdotes of Shah Iran)
Beloved (Kept your wits until the end)

Momentary pain of chest
Diagnoses, panic texts
Apocryphally laid to rest in me
Oh, Robyn

One day I will walk around botanical
And I'll find the bench that bears your name
We can talk of oneness as tyrannical
We can feed the eels the kids have tamed

Doctor Robyn (All that shit upon your desk)
Dear Robyn (Polish it and call it blessed)
Oh, Robyn (Anecdotes of Shah Iran)
Beloved (Kept your wits until the end)

Momentary pain of chest
Diagnoses, panic texts
Apocryphally laid to rest in me

Told my story back to me each week
Taught me a few things that brought some peace
Thank you for your language of relief
Oh, Robyn

04. QUIT FOREVER

04 - KEEP GOING FOR ME

Camel's Back

Track 1 from the debut self title album by Sydney progressive rock band, Now In Colour.

This was actually the first song written for the record and was initially going to be part of Niko’s second album project before the formation of Now In Colour. The guitar and flute give it a bit of a Celtic feel, and it uses the Dorian mode which became a recurring theme throughout the record. The production style (especially the arpeggiated synth in the second chorus) takes inspiration from “Uprising” by Muse. Given that it was written early on in the process, it uses more of a traditional modern song structure. It wasn’t really until the bridge after the second chorus that we realised we could be a lot more adventurous with the instrumentation, arrangement (and the time signature - sorry Jasper!). The opening riff was the first thing that Niko wrote after adopting the alternative guitar tuning that he currently uses - “fourths tuning”.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I knew from the moment I saw you
That we were just meant to be friends
The nervous excitement took over
And suddenly days just stretched, into years
Naturally
As we made our way through the woods of change

[Chorus 1]
Love, don't fail me now
Leave me with no doubt
You set me free from all my fears
Make me smile, through all those painful tears
And like nothing's changed at all
You feed my fire when the rain falls
When it falls on me

[Verse 2]
December is casting a shadow
Renewal is slow to set in
The drops on the window reminding me
Of moments in time
Our breath on the glass
We wrote our names
Did I lose myself in the woods of change?

[Chorus 2]
Love, don't fail me now
Leave me with no doubt
You set me free from all my fears
Make me smile, through all those painful tears
And like nothing's changed at all
You feed my fire when the rain falls
When it falls on me

[Chorus 3]
Love, don't fail me now
Leave me with no doubt
You set me free from all my fears
Make me smile, through all those painful tears
And like nothing's changed at all
You feed my fire when the rain falls
