about

At the time I wrote this, I was in a band called The Delicate Deadbeats (who are now the Deadbodies). I remember the day of the photo shoot, we all stood in a circle, leaned in, and lit out cigarettes with one lighter. Things seemed magical only to me, I really saw sparkles in the sky. In the end, trying to force the unit to stay together had very disagreeable consequences... hence, "the streaming meaning in the name". We're still friends... or at least they're friends to me. Wish they might of felt it too.

lyrics

Could have been the soundwaves jumping off the light
Could have been the same flame, close to toast foresight
Made a bloody mess, was just a little sticky
Opening some doors is never all that tricky

Some streaming meaning hidden in the name
Now things will never be the same

Should of said it sooner, could have made it without scares
Thought I was a looser cuz I wished upon the stars
Oh mistakes were made in trusting you were honest
Debt met at the heart of every broken promise

Some streaming meaning hidden in the name
Now things will never ever be the same
Wish you might have felt it, wouldn't talk about it
Wish you could have touched the sparkles in the sky
In the sky like I did
Oh did you see them too?
