Capitol
Trust Lyrics

The song "Capitol" by Trust is a haunting tale of fear, isolation, and uncertainty. The opening verse sets the tone for the rest of the song with the lines "No love, Hold up, hold up, hold up, Afraid, a friend." The singer is clearly afraid of something or someone, and they are holding on tight to a friend for support. The next verse describes the friend setting forth for an island, in search of something larger than themselves. The line "She went for the sky, Dropping the start, She didn't ask why" suggests that the friend is in search of something bigger than themselves, without questioning why they are doing so.

The chorus of the song repeats the lines "See me, see me, Come back, come back" over and over, as if the singer is trying to catch someone's attention or begging someone to return. The next verse describes the singer being "out on the road, man" and "flat on [their] back", suggesting that they are lost and alone. The line "It's going with the captive, When you spend like that" adds to the sense of isolation and despair.

The final verse of the song talks about staring at heights and the need to "crack that", but the singer didn't ask why. This line suggests that the singer is pushing themselves to achieve something, but they don't know why they are doing it. The repetition of the line "Well, I got" at the end of the song emphasizes the sense of uncertainty and searching that runs throughout the entire track.

Overall, "Capitol" is a powerful song that explores themes of fear, isolation, and uncertainty. The haunting melody and repetitive chorus help to create a sense of desperation and longing.
