Inwards Lyrics
I wouldn't want to go home on a night like this
When I find out that some of the past has been missed
And the light in the window has burned it's fuse
I pull everything inwards but everything's loose
Everything inwards, but everything's loose
Everything inwards, but everything's loose
I wouldn't want to stay out with news like this
All the engines too loud, all the pavements hiss
How the scouts in the stairwell will meet again
I pull everything inwards but everything's changed
When I find out that some of the past has been missed
And the light in the window has burned it's fuse
I pull everything inwards but everything's loose
Everything inwards, but everything's loose
All the engines too loud, all the pavements hiss
How the scouts in the stairwell will meet again
I pull everything inwards but everything's changed

I don't know what the song means necessarily, but I find it gives off a very strange vibe. It feels very sad/melancholy yet hopeful at the same time. I suppose many of Big Countries songs do, and it could have something to do with Stuart's issues, but this one in particular really gives off that feeling of no matter what it'll get better.
SA wrote this after the death of his grandmother. It’s about the bereavement of a women he was very close to.
