about

Thousand Yard Stare return with a brand new single, Measures, which will be released on 25th March via their own Stifled Aardvark Label.

Measures is a three-part refractory and spirited tune of hopeful defiance, positive self actualisation and collective resistance, the first of a run of singles set for release in the coming months. It was recorded at Raffer Studios with Callum Rafferty, where they previously modelled their 2020 album The Panglossian Momentum.

lyrics

IT’S THE MEASURES THAT YOU TAKE TO DEFINE YOU
IT’S THE MEASURES WHEN YOU TIE UP LOOSE ENDS
IT’S THE MEASURES THAT YOU TAKE TO ALIGN YOU
IT’S THE PLEASURE IN THE MESSAGE IT SENDS

THEY PUT MEASURES IN TO BUTTER YOU UP
THEY PUT MEASURES IN TO FOG UP YOUR LENS
THERE’S NO MEASURE FOR THE LENGTHS THEY WILL GO TO
THE MEASURES, THE MEASURES…

THEY’LL PUT MEASURES IN TO TRY AND REMIND YOU
THEY’LL PUT MEASURES IN TO TEST YOUR DEFENCE
THEY PUT MEASURES IN TO TRY BLACK EYE YOU
THEY USE MEASURES AS A MEANS TO AN END

BUT THERE ARE MEASURES YOU CAN TAKE TO UNTIE YOU
THERE ARE MEASURES WHERE YOU’RE MAKING AMENDS
THERE ARE MEASURES YOU CAN TAKE TO REVIVE YOU
TAKING PLEASURE IN THE MESSAGE IT SENDS

(AAH-AAH-AAH, AH AH AAH-AAH-AAH)

IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW YOU ARRIVE HERE
JUST BE SURE THAT YOU ARE HERE AT THE END
IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW YOU ARRIVE HERE
TAKE PLEASURE IN THE MESSAGE IT SENDS

IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW YOU ARRIVE HERE
JUST BE SURE THAT YOU ARE HERE AT THE END
IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW YOU ARRIVE HERE
TAKE PLEASURE IN THE MESSAGE IT SENDS
TAKE PLEASURE IN THE MESSAGE IT SENDS
