Cover art for Antarctica lyrics by Hands Like Houses

"This song is about growing up–being taught to stay grounded while reaching for your dreams, so that you’re stronger and able to keep pushing for them even when you’re knocked down. Musically it was the first song in which we really started to experiment with vibraphones and more “traditional” instrument sounds mixed in with the synths and electronic drums we’d been using prior."
