Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I am the news and I'll say no more
I am the stranger at your door
I am the the deep beneath the sea
The threat of flood tide rising
I am the banks bearing refugees
Always a cause not solution
A constant fear or a fleeting joy
Your only friend who needs using
I am the news and I'm in your face
And I'll take my profit from your faith
I am the the face beneath the face
The catalyst of explosions
I am the crop bearing crippled genes
I am an inside connection
A constant friend on a changing screen
Your history and direction
Radio, radio
I'll turn you on again
You're the truth
You're a soothe
Be the blues
Be my best friend
Don't give us the truth
I need the news again
I am the news and I'm every spin
I am what is and what's not in
I am the trump card, I'm the ace
I am the news and I'm in your face
I am the ocean's biggest roar
I am the smallest twist of fate
I am the ending of a play
I am the opening curtain
I am the crop bearing crippled genes
I am an inside connection
A constant friend on a changing screen
Your history and direction
I am the stranger at your door
I am the the deep beneath the sea
The threat of flood tide rising
I am the banks bearing refugees
Always a cause not solution
A constant fear or a fleeting joy
Your only friend who needs using
I am the news and I'm in your face
And I'll take my profit from your faith
I am the the face beneath the face
The catalyst of explosions
I am the crop bearing crippled genes
I am an inside connection
A constant friend on a changing screen
Your history and direction
Radio, radio
I'll turn you on again
You're the truth
You're a soothe
Be the blues
Be my best friend
Don't give us the truth
I need the news again
I am the news and I'm every spin
I am what is and what's not in
I am the trump card, I'm the ace
I am the news and I'm in your face
I am the ocean's biggest roar
I am the smallest twist of fate
I am the ending of a play
I am the opening curtain
I am the crop bearing crippled genes
I am an inside connection
A constant friend on a changing screen
Your history and direction
