"Exits"
Now the sea eats the sky
But they say it's a lie,
There's no birds left to fly,
We'll hide out.
Oh, the weather is against us,
House's underground
And flowers upside down
In our dreams.
In the eye of the storm,
The land where you were born,
Try to make no sound,
We hide out.
'Cause they watch us in sleep
And the language that we speak
And the secrets that we keep
In our dreams,
In our dreams,
In our dreams.
In our dreams,
In our dreams,
In our dreams.
I said: I'm so sorry
To have kept you waiting around,
I wish I could've come up,
I could've shouted out loud,
But they got exits covered
All the exits underground,
I wish I could figure it out
But the world's upside down
...In a world upside down.
Oh, to dream this all off
In the islands of the mind
The places they can't find
We'll hide out.
And the black sky came down
And the citiy's underground,
The flowers upside down
In our dreams.
Oh, to meet you again
To pass you on the stairs,
To see you everywhere
In my dreams.
'Cause they watch us in sleep
And the language that we speak
And the secrets that we keep
To ourselves
In our dreams,
In our dreams.
In our dreams,
In our dreams,
In our dreams.
I said: I'm so sorry
To have kept you waiting around,
I wish I could've come up,
I could've shouted out loud,
They got exits covered
All the exits underground,
I wish I could figure it out
But the world's upside down.
I said: I'm so sorry
That the world has fallen down,
I wish I could do something more
I could shout it out loud.
They got exits covered
All the exits underground,
I wish I could figure it out
But the world's upside down
...In a world upside down...
World, world... upside down,
World, world... upside down,
World, world... upside down...
Back to days of yore when we were sure of a good long summer,
I hope that you could be found back above ground my long lost brother,
We share all of our dreams into the screen but not with each other.

“‘Exits’ is basically about trying to paint a visual picture with words about the state of where we’re at, and all the preoccupations that we have,” frontman Yannis Philippakis told NME. “The environment being one, also the state of surveillance and all of the ways that we attached to the outside world. There isn’t any privacy.
“Essentially I started fantasising about a way of living underground. It’s set in this warped and surreal landscape. It’s not necessarily a dark place, but you can take refuge from the outside world with the hope that you could come above ground at some point.”
