about

Labelled as "delightfully angry" by NARC Magazine in October 2016, Terra Firma is Slurs' second single, a first to be taken from their sophomore EP Bamouth.

lyrics

You're living the life you chose though you could
Never afford it if you let go of your mother's purse
Throw off your furs
You've never learnt to brave the cold like she has
But what is a life if not for living
When your idiolect is unforgiving
And your ice is wearing thin

You're living the life you picked though you're the
First to admit that you haven't really had a clue
Since you left school
You've never thought about the consequences
But isn't there something they're forgetting
It's better to leap than live regretting
When everything's a sin

And it's rattling around your chest
And it's begging you to set it free
If you let it you will catch your death
Did you think that you could give up easily
You've had a million chances so far
You've had a million chances
To find a way to put your feet back on Terra Firma

So this is the life you lead
And how you want to spend eternity
This echoing in your ear will become nothing to fear eventually
So look at the stars as you lie in the gutter
They're all the same
We're not moving on til something better
Carries us away

The lights come on down every street you walk on
So how could you not see what's missing
Where's your future?
The inspiration has all gone
As we suspected all along
Where's your future?
The lights come on down every street you walk on
So how could you not see what's missing
Where's your future?
The inspiration has all gone
As we suspected all along
A guilty conscience weighs a tonne
But don't let them silence your opinion
