In terms of their style and sound, Thirteen Senses are quite similar to other British bands like Keane and Coldplay; but take on a wider range of influences, including Mew, Mercury Rev and a minimalist aesthetic, with their lyrics also visiting darker themes.
Last Forever
Thirteen Senses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're walking on by and I'm no one
Two lives, driven by quakes
You're walking alive, so I'm no one
Angel, see the signs
Don't worry leaving me behind
Ooh, woah, ooh, woah
Animals they walk out of their hiding place
'Cause they're no one
The temper carries over
Your numbers have dropped, so you're no one
Angel, see the signs
Don't worry leaving me behind
And our cruddy lives
Are best when shaped into a neck
And for all we gotta know
We're caught in one another
Be sure we were the first
That last forever
The song "Last Forever" by Thirteen Senses talks about the impermanence of things in our lives. The first two lines refer to the end of the day or a particular phase in life when someone moves on and leaves the singer behind feeling like nobody. The two lives in the following line represent two different paths they both took, but one seems to be more significant because the person walking by is still alive. The lines "Angel, see the signs, don't worry leaving me behind" makes it seem that the person has a guiding angel by their side, but they still feel lost without their companion. The next two lines refer to animals that emerge from hiding but are still nobody, and the temper-carrying over represents the tension and conflicts that are left behind. The singer tries to find meaning in this situation and finds that their "cruddy lives are best when shaped into a neck," which means that maybe they should embrace their imperfections and shortcomings to create something beautiful. The last lines "And for all we gotta know/We're caught in one another/Be sure we were the first/That last forever" show us a realization that despite all the impermanence around them, they will always be in each other's memories, and their relationship will last forever.

I'm a massive Mutemath fan, and can play all of Darren King's drum beats and grooves. This band has some very similar roots in music, and the drummers ghost notes are almost uncanny to that of Darren King's. THANK YOU FOR INTRODUCING ME TO THIS BAND!!
