Austerity Lyrics

Cover art for Austerity  lyrics by Katatonia

Katatonia frontman Jonas Renkse sums the feel of the track best this way; Energetic and dark, stern and disenchanted. Yes, that's exactly what emotions it will pull and the atmosphere it will convey as you listen. As for the meaning of the track, I believe it's about disillusionment that comes from being pulled so far away from one's expectations that nothing makes sense anymore. The world seems to have become almost fragmented - no telling who can be trusted, when it all reads as lies.
