Judging by their debut full-length L.A. Kids, they have undoubtedly carved a distinct niche for themselves in the crowded Southern California music scene. Equal parts insightful lyrics, crafted pop hooks, and propulsive energy - Fight From Above manages to combine many disparate influences while still sounding cohesive, and yet also not quite like anything you've heard. Some elements suggest comparisons to bands like The Kooks, Phoenix, and Hot Hot Heat, while others suggest Death Cab For Cutie, The Shins or Modest Mouse.
Songs like "Between The Curves" (which is currently getting consistent play on influential L.A. rock station KROQ and was featured on MTV's "The Hills") and "Raindrops" embed themselves in your head upon the first listen, while fan-favorites like "Saticoy" and "Alexander's Bus" brim with barely contained energy and enthusiasm. Still, nothing on the record quite compares to seeing them live, where the band has developed an undeniable reputation for passionate, frenetic live shows. Their persistent dedication to their live performance has earned them a loyal following in and out of Los Angeles.
Fight from Above consists of Miner (vocals, guitar), his brother Jeremy (lead guitar), Krook (bass) and Dave (drums). The boys are currently playing shows to promote their latest release (Hermano EP). Their music has been featured on L.A's KROQ 106.7, STAR 98.7, Rock The Vote, as well as MTV's "Real World" and "The Hills".

Fight From Above Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So just wait outside with me
It's a cold and lonely day
So just stay until i leave
I was old enough to see
But too young to understand
You were old enough to leap
But too young to land
If it means that much
I wouldn't walk away
If it means that much
I wouldn't walk away
If it means that much
I wouldn't walk away
If it means that much
Well then it means that much
Do you remember all the stars
Hiding in the evergreens
As they fell around the car
Into mountains of debris
You said you loved the view
As they flashed against the night
And i said i liked it too
But it only happens when they die
And it's right
Tonight
And it's right
Tonight
So if you're following your heart
Won't you tell me where it goes?
And if it strays away too far
Just be and sure and let me know
The lyrics to Fight From Above's song "Wanderlust" seem to be about a moment in time shared between two individuals. The first verse paints a picture of two people waiting for a taxi together on a cold and lonely day. The lyrics suggest a feeling of camaraderie between the two individuals as the singer implores the other person to stay until they leave. The lyrics in this verse speak to the idea of age and how it can affect one's desire to take risks. The singer was old enough to see what was happening, but too young to understand it, while the other person was old enough to take a leap of faith but too young to know how to land.
The chorus repeats the phrase "If it means that much, I wouldn't walk away" several times. This repetition suggests that the relationship between the two individuals is of great importance to the singer. The chorus feels like a plea for the other person to stay and not walk away from the relationship, even if it gets difficult.
The second verse introduces a new element to the song, with mentions of stars falling around a car and mountains of debris. This verse feels like it may be a reference to a specific event in the past shared between the two individuals. The lyrics suggest that there was something beautiful and awe-inspiring about the event, but also something sad and final as it only happens when stars die. The final lyrics of the song feel like a plea for the other person to communicate openly and honestly with the singer about the direction of their relationship.

They formed piles of dust and debris.
You said you loved the view

And if it strays away too far
And in case it drifts too far away,
Just be and sure and let me know
Please be positive and confident and inform me about it.

I finally obtained some of the lyrics they sent me on FB. I now have a new level of love for this song.
But anyways...
Just breath in
Over and over again
Until our days have end
We're standing on the edge
The edge of this
To seize and miss
We are
Finally closer to remember it all
Where do we go from here
Why were we meant to fall
Crystal eyes
So crystalline
Looking through me
I see the light
Flickering a strobe of emotion
Bewilders me
What this purpose is mind's eyes to see
In this moment
Momental change
To erase your fears
To eradicate the need
For this box shaped black heart mentality
Why do we refuse to fly
Let alone to bleed
