about

'Our Turn' is song I wrote about living in the system for the first time and how confronting it can be. Having to get a job and make money, getting told what to do and how to do it, not knowing if things will work out for you. It can be overwhelming and sometimes you just want to break out make your own decisions without listening to everyone around you.

Starting out as a straight guitar rock track, I didn't see what 'Our Turn' could become until Benedict Roff-Marsh worked his magic, adding new drum sounds and synth ideas to bring out the elements of Goth Rock and Post-Punk living inside the track.

lyrics

'Our Turn' - Lyrics

We play games that they control and break apart
Woah
Shaking for a better roll so we can start
Woah

It’s no fun
Won’t you dance with me
Can’t you see
If we won
They won’t mess with me again

Now it’s our turn
To give ourselves a chance
We never have the money
So, we never pay the rent
And it’s our turn
To take a little more
Been living on Blue Gatorade
And sleeping on the floor
As we watch our free world burn
Now it’s our turn

They don’t ever want to tell us what they know
Woah
Money straight into their hands so they can grow
Woah
