The Gloves single arrived early in 2007, heralding the release of the Horrors' full-length debut, Strange House, which arrived in the U.K. that March and in the U.S. in May. In 2008, Webb and Furse formed the analog synth project Spider & the Flies, and released the album Something Clockwork This Way Comes. For 2009's Primary Colours, the band worked with Cunningham and Portishead's Geoff Barrow as co-producers, opting for a very different sound that mixed shoegaze, post-punk, and goth; the album was released by XL that spring and earned several critical raves, including NME's Album of the Year. In between albums, Badwan teamed with Canadian opera singer Rachel Zeffira for the hazy pop project Cat's Eyes, which released its self-titled debut in early 2011. The Horrors self-produced their follow-up, 2011's Skying, which featured a lighter yet still atmospheric sound that drew comparisons to My Bloody Valentine and the Psychedelic Furs. In 2012, they released the remix companion album Higher and embarked on an extensive tour. In 2013, they began recording new material with producer Craig Silvey. Early the following year, the single "I See You" reflected the more expansive direction of their fourth album, Luminous, which arrived in May 2014. The Horrors began work on their next full-length with Paul Epworth at London's Church Studios in 2015, and forged a darker, rawer yet still danceable sound that borrowed from '80s post-punk, synth-pop, and '90s dance. The result was V, which arrived in September 2017.

Three Decades
The Horrors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To leave your home and lead a life more valiant.
Feather-white she occupies the virgin berth
Climb to her as if there were no barriers
Don't give up, stand tall, this is your hour
Full of joy the boy within must try.
Forget your regrets.
Cavernous imagery grips your mind
Don't let your fear dictate your life.
Forget your regrets.
Don't lose your purpose, this is your hour
Feather-white before your hand she lies
Don't give up, stand tall, this is your hour
Three decades and now you lead your life.
The lyrics of The Horrors' song "Three Decades" depict the story of someone who has spent thirty years of their life in Canada but now plans to leave their home and embark on a new adventure. The singer encourages this person to stay strong and overcome any obstacles that may come their way. The image of a "feather-white" object, which is presumably a boat or a ship, is used to symbolize the new journey that the person is about to undertake.
The first line of the song indicates that the person has spent a significant portion of their life in Canada. However, it seems that they have grown restless and desire to do something more meaningful. The phrase "lead a life more valiant" suggests that the person wants to make a bold move and take on a new challenge.
The second stanza of the song encourages the person to be brave and not give up, despite the obstacles they may face. The line "Feather-white she occupies the virgin berth" indicates that the boat or ship is new and has not yet been sailed on. This symbolizes a new beginning and a chance for the person to start fresh.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea that the person should forget their regrets and not let fear hold them back. The last stanza repeats the message of the first stanza, reminding the person that this is their moment to shine and to take control of their life.
Overall, the lyrics of "Three Decades" are about taking risks and embracing new challenges. The song encourages listeners to not let fear dictate their lives and to pursue their dreams without hesitation.
