about

This is about our quest to talk about how we feel without judging what caused it. About struggles of modern manhood, such as exploring our sexuality without objectifying the other.

Fun fact: At the end, the words of the chorus turn into a kind of vague dream language.

lyrics

Nuts and bolts in a machine
Holding on to what we have
Always close but we don’t know how we’re attached

Keeping cool or blowing steam
Couldn’t say what’s going on
I can fix it if you tell me what is wrong

Rolling, tumbling, coming, leaving
I can not control what I feel
Talking, touching, laughing, seeing
I can feel it enter my dream

Skipping rope with do’s and don’ts
Got us playing hide and seek
Sometimes one can’t find the other for a week

I don’t want to be alone
But for now I’m high and dry
Calmly waiting for the storm to pass me by

Rolling, tumbling, coming, leaving
I can not control what I feel
Talking, touching, laughing, seeing
I can feel it enter my dream

I’ve been losing sleep
I’ve been losing sleep
I’ve been losing sleep
I’ve been losing sleep

Aah

Rolling, tumbling, coming, leaving
I can not control what I feel
What I feel
Talking, touching, laughing, seeing
I can feel it enter my dream

Ro-o-obling lealing coling beaving
I can not control what I feel
(I’ve been losing sleep)
What I feel
(I’ve been losing sleep)
Taughing seeching lassing teaking
I can feel it enter my dream
(I’ve been losing sleep)
Hmm
(I’ve been losing sleep)
Yeah ooh
