Over the years the project evolved into something much more. Known for flirting with genres ranging from traditional midwest emo to pop punk to indie rock to shoegaze to avant-garde, ESP is recognized for its prolific discography with over 50 releases, which includes collaborative splits with bands like Joie de Vivre, Mane Horse, Flatsound, Little Kingdoms and many more. Throughout the years ESP has always offered download of its entire discography for free. While ESP is primarily an acoustic solo project, a full band has recently become active.

On the Way Home
Emo Side Project Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

she breathes in deep
its dark and cold
we need a sign
I’m speechless too

its frightening
how time flies by
the days are short

just like this life

I’m dying now
too see your eyes
makes me so nice
too feel alive

but I’ll find a way

to get to you
so i’m home

So underrated by the twinkly/emo/math rock lovers our there. Definitely needs more recognition. If I could buy it on vinyl I would!

This is going in the pile next to next to American Football's LP1, Owen's first 4 albums, and Bark Psychosis' Hex.
