Straight Lines Lyrics
On the edge, on the loose
They are here to tie the noose
But they won't catch me
Barking noise, searchlight rays
Breaking news for broken days
Another entry
The undisputable hole inside of you
Wasn't my pursuit, I am sure you knew
You're a trustee
I am weak, I am sore
I attest to countless flaws
But I'm not guilty
You're running low on straight lines
You're running low on good signs
You're running low, they say, the salt will flow
You're running low on straight lines
You're running low on good signs
You're running low, they say, the salt will flow
Into waste, into voids
Into shades on Polaroids
Leave a whisper?
Pine tree hill, hold me tight
Cover up and choke the light
But save the blister
You're running low on straight lines
You're running low on good signs
You're running low, they say, the salt will flow
(You're running low on straight lines)
(You're running low on straight lines)
You're running low on straight lines
You're running low on good signs
You're running low, they say, the salt will flow
They are here to tie the noose
But they won't catch me
Barking noise, searchlight rays
Breaking news for broken days
Another entry
The undisputable hole inside of you
Wasn't my pursuit, I am sure you knew
You're a trustee
I am weak, I am sore
I attest to countless flaws
But I'm not guilty
You're running low on good signs
You're running low, they say, the salt will flow
You're running low on good signs
You're running low, they say, the salt will flow
Into shades on Polaroids
Leave a whisper?
Pine tree hill, hold me tight
Cover up and choke the light
But save the blister
You're running low on good signs
You're running low, they say, the salt will flow
(You're running low on straight lines)
You're running low on good signs
You're running low, they say, the salt will flow

“Imagine someone being on the run from the authorities," explains guitarist-singer Asger Mygind. "It is becoming increasingly hard for this person to hide, which “running low on straight lines” can be seen as a metaphor. He/she can’t just choose the direct route but has to be creative to escape. Whether the hunt is real or just in the person’s head should be an open question for the listener.”
