Future Islands have shared their new one-off single 'Glimpse'
The new track arrives ahead of their upcoming headline tour.
Lyrics
When you live in the violet When you see it coming through to you You could stay silent Or you could take the blame Admit you're wrong You could make it right Tonight Or a little later on
What you now know You can't let go It existed on the line An apparition of time Someone I love slips away Green ray But I'm not ready you see it, still As we move in front of the sun
Soon no one will Soon no one will Then it grabs you by your throat It's tugging at your coat This is a reminder A violent note Look at what we've done It's so complete
We blotted out the sun for fun Just to see What you now know you can't let go It existed on the line an aberration of time Someone I love slips away Green ray But I'm not ready You see it die As it moves across the sky A true flash of light Like two halves unite
