Cover art for The Rising Tide lyrics by Sunny Day Real Estate

This song ties into the theme behind "In Circles." Two lovers are pulled apart by society as the "walls [they] build," "the stain," violence from the uneasiness in the world around them, and the fashion serve as tearing factors. Still, the poet feels hope that they will remain together as everything feels calm when they lie together in the morning. Great way to finish off sunny day's career.
