heart's pace

Lines of Fight return with Practice & Ritual, a new release that continues their exploration of loss, memory, and the emotional strain of living through rapid change. Building on themes from their recent Double A-Side series, the track focuses on how people cope when familiar structures fall away and the world feels increasingly unstable.
Practice & Ritual examines the small actions people repeat to stay grounded: the habits, routines, and gestures that help make sense of uncertainty. The track reflects on how these practices can be both steadying and fragile, especially when the systems around us shift or collapse. It extends the band’s ongoing interest in solastalgia, displacement, and the quiet emotional labour involved in trying to hold on to something solid.
Written during a period of personal reckoning, the song traces the uneasy space between self protection and self sabotage, and the ways private struggles can affect the people we love. Images of empty roads, sleeping geese, and unreachable stars create a landscape that feels both internal and external, a place where grief refuses to settle and where the body keeps moving even when the mind cannot. The refrain “practice and ritual” becomes a grounding mantra: the small, repeated acts that help us navigate uncertainty, rebuild connection, and stay present.
Practice & Ritual continues Lines of Fight’s commitment to clarity, emotional honesty, and a direct approach to songwriting. It is a track about persistence, vulnerability, and the slow, imperfect work of finding our way back to ourselves and to others


Practice and Ritual

damn girl, you get me so m-a-d.
with the way you look at me. 
remember when i was ur plaything? 
----* girl, you get me so m-a-d.

it's not ur job to keep me happy,
but it'll sure be fine. 
fuckin around and acting angry
in the meantime.
You got me seeing red, 
ill in my head. 
if that ain't how i feel,
and none of this is real 
i'll be fuming in bed.

damn girl, you get me so m-a-d.
with the way you look at me. 
remember when i was ur plaything? 
damn girl, you get me so m-a-d.
