From the recording WHEN STARS COLLIDE
Something/ Nothing is Pirates of Radio's 8th recording and paints an ethereal grunge-tinged sonic landscape that hypnotises with its slow-paced heartbeat and melancholic melodies. Lyrically it asks questions about one's own identity and purpose, and the sometimes unhealthy reliance on others to provide us with the meaning and self-belief we need to continue.
Lyrics
Indigo
neon afterglow
all starry-eyed
we see the story die
Near the flume
bury me in a rocky tomb
to block out the light
to digest the lies
You say I’m something
but I feel nothing;
and make me alive
and paint me in colours
Feel the flow
pirates on the radio
all blurry-eyed
we watch the story die
You say I’m something
but I feel nothing;
and make me alive
and paint me in colours -
erase the pencil lines
Feel the throes
yeah, and now we know
all teary-eyed
we let the story die
