about

'Don't Bow' is a nod towards our early noise rock influences. It pulls together angsty Punk vibes and snarling Alt-Rock riffs forming a song full of energy, inspired by the frustration that builds up when you're not listened to by people that only see life from their own perspective. The song is about the worry that you feel when you don't actually know if the choices that you make are good or bad, coming to the conclusion that the only real voice telling you which way to go should be your own.

lyrics

I can’t really see if it’s a blessing or a curse
Do you really wanna know if it gets better or gets worse?
there’s people on the streets and there are people in their beds
We thrive in a society where nothing’s in our heads,

I’ve seen a kid who’s scared to,
Be himself around you
It’s not about those who
Wanna bring us down

Nothing that they say can stop us now,
Even when our hands are tied

They say people see what's only in their face,
Like they can't ever be in another headspace.
There's friends in one corner and there’s strangers all misled,
We live with our relationships where nothing’s left unsaid

I’ve seen a kid who’s scared to,
Be himself around you
It’s not about those who
Wanna bring us down

Nothing that they say can stop us now,
Even when our hands are tied, don’t bow
