Time and Place (Pressed for Time Edit)

about

This is the second preview single for “The Sickness”. It is quite different from the version you’ll find on the album, offering a much more concise, immediate experience and turning the song into an almost radio-friendly number. I don’t view this as a concession to the age of playlists and short attention spans: rather, this edit works far better in isolation than the album version would, opening up an entirely new side to the song and giving it more of a life of its own. The album version, by contrast, functions as a counterweight to the unforgiving songs preceding it, ending “The Sickness” on a somewhat more optimistic note. With its more elaborate build-up and extensive outro, it invites you to reflect upon the emotional journey you have just experienced and to meditate on this new-found spirit of reconciliation.

lyrics

Time and Place
(Theory of Personal Relativity)
17 April 2021

there’s a time and place
for all we need in life
how much of life we waste
hoping for them to synchronize

and there’s no understanding
the paradise we never found
we find ourselves forever stranded
on blasted middle ground

there’s a time for love
no clock can ever know
all our hope is not enough
to find a place where love can grow

no, I’m no good at living
but better now at spotting lies
there’s no denying that my breathing
sustains a rotten compromise

there’s a place where pain dwells
but there’s no time to grieve
there’s always time for strangers
but there’s no place for peace

there’s a time for living
and there’s a time for death
the time has come for leaving
to seize what little time there’s left
