about

This song has an instrumental feel that is similar to the epic spirit of U2 and The Verve. Mike Carter’s guitar style creates a larger-than-life sound with his textural tones and vibrant leads. Adrian Tramontano’s powerhouse drumming creates a colossal atmosphere when the tension rises. Max Chase brings a spiritual feel in the verse with his piano lines and adds to the power of the chorus with the thick organ chords. Eric Gould keeps a strong pulse with his baselines the whole way through the song and also sings lead with all his heart. Together, this is one of the most meaningful songs in the Marble Eyes repertoire.

lyrics

I feel
All the feels of this time
In a world with no rhyme or reason
And it’s taking it’s toll
I wish
For brothers and sisters divided
To stop the hiding and come together
But it’s taking it’s toll
I understand
So much anger and hate
While the children are left with a fate
To repeat our folly
And it’s taking it’s toll
I believe
There’s a battle to fight
And a mission to make things right
With a new beginning
But it’s taking it’s toll

Hey a aaah

Racing full steam
right into the eye of a hurricane
Put the foot on the gas tonight
High voltage symphony
Conductor on the rails of a bullet train
With a Melody made of light
Running with a Wildebeest Stampede
Free in the African plains
To test Mother Nature’s might
Building a world together can be
The most dangerous game
There’s a battle to fight

Hey a aaah

Racing full steam
right into the eye of a hurricane
Put the foot on the gas tonight
High voltage symphony
Conductor on the rails of a bullet train
With a Melody made of light
Running with a Wildebeest Stampede
Free in the African plains
To test Mother Nature’s might
Building a world together can be
The most dangerous game
There’s a battle to fight
And it’s taking it’s toll
I believe
But it’s taking it’s toll
Hey a aaah
