about

Riddles & Rhymes
« I originally had in mind a Pet Shop Boys’ synth pop arrangement, but the song became alive when I laid down the acoustic guitars. It became more organic but still weird with the processed sounds in the background. At some point we considered using Riddles & Rhymes as the title for the record »

lyrics

Riddles & Rhymes

You play the games by the rules
But you do cheat sometimes
The fool is trying to be cool
With his riddles and rhymes

Chorus:
It doesn’t have to be this way
And there’s no use
Pretending that you’re ok
I just can’t last another day
‘Cause it’s your life
And you keep wasting it away

You plan your moves as you go
U-turns and last minute fixes
You just follow your own flow
Keep up the list of your exes

Riddles & Rhymes

(Chorus)

You know you need to change
When you stop trying and think it’s doomed to fail
You know you’ve got to change
When you don’t remember the times you did it well

You know you’ve got to change
Riddles & Rhymes
You know you’ve got to change
Riddles & Rhymes
It doesn’t have to be this way
And there’s no use
Pretending that you’re ok
