about

Alava by The Dawn Bombs.

With love, and a few accidental deletions of the whole project, we present Alava. This song makes reference to a few places that Ben has traveled to at different points in his life, and the realization that distance traveled is not the same as wisdom earned. Sometimes the lofty ideals we search for have been in arms reach for some time, and it takes a lot of courage to trust in and discern that. Please enjoy this latest release from yer dear pals!

lyrics

Folded up in corporate
My soul left softening
Complicit in lies
Holding something I could not believe

Lost, listless, disconnected
From a higher balcony
Cemented lime
Moulded in holy iconography

Certain eyes behold any idol
But only the faulted lines we devise could ever define us

Normally I could a find a milder way
To collapse your alibi
No, I won’t worry about it for this time

Baby you had me in Baixa-Chiado under your vice
In the morning I’ll wake from your light
Maybe I’m an addict affixed to a moment I might derive
From the high of your violent design

I lost you in the volley
And I’m falling, not evolving
If I volunteer for the toxaphene
Promise calamity leaves

From Alava to Roca
Looking for opulence or love
How will I know when the moments up

Woah!

Storm and dusk descending
I look upon that coast
A crashing crescent effervesces over lessons I'll dispose
You and I’ve been known to compound tragedy with energy
Mended in memory so I can lay to rest my lethargy

Certain eyes behold any idol
But only the faulted lines we devise could ever define us

Normally I could a find a milder way
To collapse your alibi
No, I won’t worry about it for this time

Baby you had me in Baixa-Chiado under your vice
In the morning I’ll wake from your light
Maybe I’m an addict affixed to a moment I might derive
From the high of your violent design
