The Almost Lyrics
Can't believe I almost fell for what the voice inside was telling me
I can't believe I almost let intruders win
Can you believe we almost had a taste and then got thrown back out again?
It's almost like only the opulent stay in
Don't want a lifetime of living in the almost
No regrets, no unknowns
How much blood do we give before we're dry?
"Did you try?"
A lifetime of living in the almost
I came close, fell short, almost became
I almost gave my hand up
There's only one outcome from giving up
It's almost always the same
Trying to hold on to the thrill of the chase
No way out
Of the perpetual race
Feels like I'm losing my mind
Won't stop running
‘Cus I'm running out of time
I can't be my own demise
But this might
Don't want a lifetime of living in the almost
No regrets, no unknowns
How much blood do we give before we're dry?
"Did you try?"
A lifetime of living in the almost
I came close, fell short, almost became
I almost gave my hand up
There's only one outcome from giving up
How many times around before the gold is struck?
There's only one outcome from giving up
And when all’s said and done
I’ve got nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
Got nothing left to lose
So I don't really have to choose
I could play and I might win
Or never play the game again
Never play the game again
Don't want a lifetime of living in the almost
No regrets, no unknowns
How much blood do we give before we're dry?
"Did you try?"
A lifetime of living in the almost
I came close, fell short, almost became
I almost gave my hand up
Almost threw my hand away
But life's the only game I'll play
I can't believe I almost let intruders win
Can you believe we almost had a taste and then got thrown back out again?
It's almost like only the opulent stay in
No regrets, no unknowns
How much blood do we give before we're dry?
"Did you try?"
A lifetime of living in the almost
I came close, fell short, almost became
I almost gave my hand up
Trying to hold on to the thrill of the chase
No way out
Of the perpetual race
Feels like I'm losing my mind
‘Cus I'm running out of time
I can't be my own demise
But this might
No regrets, no unknowns
How much blood do we give before we're dry?
"Did you try?"
A lifetime of living in the almost
I came close, fell short, almost became
I almost gave my hand up
How many times around before the gold is struck?
And when all’s said and done
I’ve got nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
So I don't really have to choose
I could play and I might win
Or never play the game again
Never play the game again
No regrets, no unknowns
How much blood do we give before we're dry?
"Did you try?"
A lifetime of living in the almost
I came close, fell short, almost became
I almost gave my hand up
But life's the only game I'll play

The band says of this track; “With ‘The Almost‘ we wanted to dive into the dangers of comparing yourself and your achievements to the people around you,“ comment the band. “It is all too easy to see the often manipulated, idyllic versions of people’s lives on social media and come to the conclusion that you’re missing out, that you’re not living life to the fullest. To be stuck in a place where you feel like your life has not begun is a horrible and unnecessary feeling, and we wanted to put a name to it. That’s where ‘The Almost‘ comes in. Our version of this place, ‘The Almost‘, is a sort of limbo. It serves as an allegory for these comparisons, trapping us and getting in the way of self fulfilment and happiness. The results of this process are seen in this darker, more corrupted reflection of (front woman) Cherry that has taken over in the visuals, serving as a personification of the dangers of being trapped in vicious cycles like this one.“
