whenyoung - The Others

The Others is the second single from whenyoung’s debut album ‘Reasons To Dream’, out Friday 24th May.

The Others was written after the Grenfell Tower fire in London. At this time Aoife was working for a gardening company that served clients in this area, some of whom were influential politicians. The juxtaposition between the safe homes of these politicians and the burning towerblock streets away were startling and upsetting. Living in safety should not be a luxury.

Lyrics

All the pressure can be washed away
Drown the sadness from your face
Tiredness, madness, daydreams
Call a friend in the night time

Get all the boys, go dancing
Jumbled in the urban heat
Safety in the darkness
Confusion, hunger, banjaxed

That’s how The Others died,
That’s how they’ll die again
That’s how The Others died,
And that’s how they’ll die again

You should turn your ear to what they say
Tough and rough and angry
Stay away
Disregarded, neglect, desert, blind-eye
Head kept down when you pass by them

Tell your kids that nothing’s equal
Even in a land like this
Ignorance is peaceful
Mouldy ceilings
Burnt out

That’s how The Others died,
That’s how they’ll die again
That’s how The Others died,
And that’s how they’ll die again
And again and again and again
And again and again and again
And again and again and again
And again and again and again

Just around the corner
That’s a different story
They’re the salt of the earth
But not sure what their worth is
Go on and turn the news off
Crying, screaming, shouting
Brushed off your shoulders
Show your poor mouth
Forget about it
Drink up
