about

There's a government building on St George's terrace in Perth that they light up with multicoloured lights in the evening and the park below it where I've seen a lot of homeless people gathering in the past. So much of our country's wealth is based around mining in WA and over my lifetime I've watched these companies buildings conquer our city skyline. I guess the title is super literal and maybe I'm kind of basic. Also, there's not enough time in life to enjoy the things that matter, like natural bodies of water.

lyrics

The mining skyline’s the first thing that you see, construction sites say they’re not the enemy, and once a year they put up signs for their footy teams.

Flying solo, just gliding over Greed, bright lights shining, lighting up the homeless streets, and once a year we all pick a favourite footy team

The oceans just down the road, but I never make time to go - what the fuck’s wrong with me? Maybe in a couple days, but my youth’s slipping away right in front of me.

Run away, we can ride the plastic seas, get lost together in psycho-social imagery. Or shed your skin, come on and kill the past with me,

You can lose it, I see you carrying around, dragging your coffin, your dead weight, we’re all anchored to this town.

The oceans just down the road, but I never make time to go - maybe in a couple days, but my youth’s slipping away

The mining skyline’s the first thing that you see, construction sites, will say they’re not the enemy, we’re not the enemy. The mining skyline’s the first thing that you see - bright lights shining, lighting up the homeless streets, and the ocean’s just down the road, and I’m never gonna go.
