Time, a new song, with original lyrics, a rarity for me. The lyrics and music were heavily inspired by early New Order — the opening line is direct from “Denial”: “here I am in a house full of doors and no exits”, one of my favorite lines ever) and it just grew from there. It’s also by far my shortest song ever, at a radio-friendly 3:32. Writing lyrics was fun. In the past I’ve had trouble with that, tending to be too literal, resulting in awkward, heavy lyrics. This time I worried less about telling a coherent story and went with things that sounded like they fit the mood, and I think ended up with something that flows better and ended up meaning something after all.
