Finger Redux Lyrics
sifting through 3 years, 8 months and a handful of dust like shadows falling through a matrix of "wish i hads". and it's much harder to see how much space was taken when your chest pounds with footsteps of those you've forsaken - its a shame isn't it? the way these hours spin out of control, and how the tighter your grip on the why and the how insures a faster demise to a here and a now. there's no strength in numbers is the one thing i've found, and you can't trust your balance until you've walked with your feet on the ground.

The best song on the EP. When I first heard this song I thought it was about Billy's past experiances with Saetia, but I'm probably wrong. Listen to Hot Cross, you wont regret it.
In Midnight's Children, there is a chapter called "Alpha and Omega." Rushdie suggests in the second paragraph that an alternative title for the chapter could have been "Finger Redux." I wouldn't be surprised if that played a part in the naming of this song as Billy is pretty big on Rushdie.
When they start yelling "Theres no strength in numbers" and the bass comes in, I get chills. Amazing.
it's a shame, isn't it? the way these hours spin out of control, and how the tighter your grip on the why and the how insures a faster demise to a here and a now.
fucking amazing. my favorite thing about hot cross is how direct the lyrics are. yeah, there are metaphors, but those metaphors are easily discerned in the context of the song. i love probing for meaning in song lyrics, but i love how i don't even have to bother with this band. it's all point-blank.
