lyrics

time is slipping and there is no change
everybody’s tripping all across an open range
we seem to be moving but we just carry our own weight
pulled towards the grinding hole at an alarming rate

we could have moved so many things
and now these things are moving us
we could have grown ourselves some wings
we’ve hardly risen above the dust
it ain’t enough, it ain’t enough, it ain’t enough
it’s just not fucking good enough

time is mocking – do things ever evolve
the winding road remains the same
a riddle that may never be solved
if we could feel the gap inside
we’d know what was meant to be
if we had a certain head height
and a little less gravity

we could have proved so many things
and now these things are proving us
we could have been with kings and queens
we’ve hardly risen above the dust
it ain’t enough, it ain’t enough, it ain’t enough
it’s just not fucking good enough

at least we’re told the darkest moment at night
at least we’re told is just before the first light
at least we’re told

we could have moved so many things
we could have proved so many things

about

The Electric Era Auckland, New Zealand

The Electric Era is a three-piece indie band from Auckland, New Zealand. Their self-proclaimed Antipodean Anti-gloss Pop has been compared to seminal New Zealand bands such as The Clean, The Chills and The Verlaines, as well as English acts The Smiths and The Cure. They also claim David Bowie, Joy Division, Wire and Magazine as their sonic godfathers.
