Make up was one of those tracks that was around as an idea for a long time before it hit paper. It was a collection of different emotions and feelings that were probably bottled up but recurring in my life at that time. The lyrics explain the way that whilst words can build us up, that the emotions aren't the same as the words said to convey them - they are totally separate, and sometimes they conflict or are just a face for something that isn't actually there.

The riff is pretty grunged up, I guess, but the mood also kind of goes through a number of emotions. The verses talk about dark mood swings, feeling unsettled and how sometimes the people around you can have a negative impact on how you feel. It was also about being alone in the world and somehow feeling that it was nothing new or special, and actually quite detached from every day emotions or how you appear to the onlooker.

But that's not to say that everything was totally bleak in the track, even in the most broken times it was swaying in summer beauty, and you can just suppress it to the back of your mind and watch it all fade out. It talks about the seasons, in the summer sun, the trees and then in the fall it's all bare, but it was never about the seasons, just about emotion cycles and a lack of emotion, like it was always on a switch.

The end part is almost the breakthrough, the realisation that some of it stems from the frustration of giving so much of your life for something that hasn't or doesn't seem to be materialised yet. The solo was just an explanation of the future and the unknown. The song asks what then? but that part is unwritten and it's for the time that's coming to decide your fate or future�

It's a great feeling to be finally get the track out there on the EP now though. We had some great reactions to our No Trace single this year and have just started shooting our Mario music video, so it's all go x
