about

What are you doing right now? What about before that? And what did you put down to pick that up? Sometimes life feels like a series of choices to end one task and start another. Repeat, ad finitum. “An Interruption,” the new single from Five.X.Five, tackles this feeling with a propulsive riff, driving guitars and an unrelenting beat from drummer Jeremy Taggart of Our Lady Peace. Co-written by Billy the Kid, it captures the sound and the spirit of frustration and inevitability.

lyrics

Headlights off, this tunnel’s not a train of thought, can’t get lost
Touch the clock, punch the wall, words they talk don’t click at all
What you got playing ball, taking shots before the fall
Do it long enough you’ll stop, wonder how it went so wrong

This is your chance to see behind the lies the shit that flies

Everything’s an interruption to something else
You can’t take a break
You break yourself just to take another breath
And the next and the next
Then you do it all over again

Brake lights scream, tried to weave a history they won’t believe
What you feel can’t be unreal, they changed the beat to one and three
Headache sealed in bugs and trees, couldn’t read what’s unrevealed
Take the wheel where it leads, return to here, your space is free

You had a chance to see what lies behind unflinching eyes

Everything’s an interruption to something else
You can’t take a break
You break yourself just to take another breath
And the next and the next
Then you do it all over again

Every fraction counts
Build by small amounts
Dying lasts forever
Nothing lives in never

Do it long enough you’ll stop
