Your Melody is a reflection on the ramifications of the theory that time is predetermined from the perspective of having to watch a loved one suffer, specifically around one of the members' dad having ALS. Central metaphor sees life/time a song that’s already been written out.
lyrics
Please explain
Is my whole life in vain?
If I can’t break
What’s going wrong
Odysseys
Through these stormy seas
Couldn’t shake me from this song
Are we on the right path?
Surrounded by a fire
Time will get the last laugh
And play with our desires
And I can see your melody
Walking down the line to find it winds
In ways you can’t control through space and time
I can see your melody
Please refrain
Wish I could cease your pain
But it’s frozen
Deep in your song
Atrophy in ruthless degrees
Was your future all along
Right path?
Surrounded by a fire
Time will get the last laugh
And play with our desires
And I can see your melody
Walking down the line to find it winds
In ways you can’t control through space and time
I can see your melody
I see you in between light and sound
Fought your destiny until you drowned
I see you in this thread of conscious flow
Thought you’d find relief but now I know
Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über.

the rain has been falling ever more slowly this morning, apparently transitioning to snow. or perhaps the sky is as reluctant to ever again touch the ground as i am right now while listening to this album. i've been a fan since life of leisure but this is the best one yet! Scott
