about

Also from the Belgenny Farm show, Collapse was a big live favourite from the band’s very earliest shows. We also dropped the song after this performance as we began to introduce more new songs from A Tower of Silence but it returned by popular consensus when we started playing overseas.

‘The Collapse’ was a particularly challenging piece to do back then with bespoke keyboard sounds and orchestral layers and drum machines. We used to compensate by playing it very aggressively and quickly - but by this performance, the first where we’d invested significantly in new technology, we’d seemingly found a balance between the aggressiveness of our earlier live shows and the fullness of the sound of the studio recording.

lyrics

As it grows, I'm burning.
Throw me some water let me soak it up
I'm shaking in fear. Looking through blinded eyes

A strung out mind
Scared to think a single thought
Closed the doors.
Everything has blown apart.

Break my skin, with your needle
Tattoo my soul, tell my story
Now in a whole new world of pain
Both your hands upon my reins
Just leave me to die again

Beads of sweat
I'll hold them in with a stronger vice
My tangled veins
Keep me away from the knives and the forks
A misplaced sound
Fills my head as it hits the ground
My sonic dreams
I wish I'd never heard that sound

Feeling dizzy?
Time to make or break my day.
Hello to you. When did I come across your hate?
Your burning fire perished in the light of day
I'm slowly fading
And served up to you on a silver plate.

In my dreams it was a different story
Love and life and happiness
Another sits all alone
Waiting for the thing that's best

A mother is born before her child
We all walk in single file
Bygone times and spoken minds
Nobody knows what he's left behind.

And worlds away, he fades away
Tomorrow's gone and turned it's back
No help for him, he lives in sin
Left to dream in white and black
He's frozen into one pose
As every heartache never mends
The final page of this forgotten tale
Is this the way his story ends?

Damp rises in the night
Misty streets became his home
Wind and rain stood in his way
Living life all on his own

More and more, time ticks away
Moments come, they never stay.
Another song, another day
Written down as he slips away
