The main influences come from the rake 'n' scrape music and is played in a dadaist way. It sounds as if you would throw Beyonce, Mozart, Praetorius and Burzum into a mixer and make a hotdog out of it.

This Town
Turks & Caicos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It′s seems like we back to the old war
We better to hide from the mortar
Let's take a look what will come down?
Don′t let it be drown

We need to change
As everyone looks the same
Just take me by the hand

As long as you can

Just run to reach that bound
We're gonna be fine

Now we can't pretend from the other
We better to hide from another
′Cause baby we need to hold this town
So just calm down

We need to change
We′ll make them understand
Just take me by the hand
As long as you can

Just run to reach that bound
We're gonna be fine
