The song tells of growing older while living in the suburban bliss of comfort and one day being alarmed at how much time has gone by yet we still have our dreams and childhood heart and the contrast it makes.

Done by the Blind Boys of Alabama and Johnny Cash but NEVER like this. The base for this song was constructed from home made samples, including the sound of a 9mm Sig Sauer being fired. Bass was my first attempt at using a synth (Massive).
