Marks To Prove It Lyrics

No one was crying
They simply got a little something in their eye
No one was lonely
They just could not get hold of anybody
Over the summer, a lot changed
And they all changed to keep up with it
Too complicated
Too complex to talk to anybody

Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Rolling shadow)
Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Fallen arrow)

All this is sky light
Forget that it's there but it's there, no doubt about it
Take it for a walk, then come back
it's zoning, wondering why they took it
Thousands of people
Tight lines and ropes and where they stays the weekend
Clouds and rain
And no one cares, they got the marks to prove it

Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Rolling shadow)
Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Fallen arrow)
Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Rolling shadow)
Marks to prove it, got the marks to prove it (Fallen arrow)

According to their interview with John Kennedy for the track by track review this reflects the need of society to document everything, to prove everything: it started with people getting suntans and strap marks to prove they had been on holiday but has expanded to most things in society, where people feel the need to prove whatever they've done was real, down to taking a photo of their breakfast and posting it on Instagram.
