About This Track

'Release' by Editors is an alternative track from the album 'The Back Room' (2005). The lyrics drift between vivid city imagery and a more urgent, self-implicating voice, with lines that hinge on the idea of wanting to let go: “Release, find”. The song’s wordplay and repetition give it a half-invocation, half-resolution quality, moving from bright, almost postcard wonder to a darker black-and-white framing.

"Release" is a track by Editors, from the album The Back Room, released 25th July 2005. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 3 articles about Editors.

Lyrics

Release

[Verse 1]

The city is not that far

Made from the sun, you are

Oh, what a star you are

The city is not that far, that far, that far

[Verse 2]

Life in black and white

My lord, what a perfect sight

I'll lose this, I always do

I'll lose this, I always do

[Chorus]

Release, find your peace, my love

Release, find your peace, my love

Release, find your peace, my love

Release, find your peace, my love

[Post-Chorus]

Release, find your peace, my love

Release, find your peace, my love

Release, find your peace, my love

My love, my love

[Verse 3]

Life in black and white

My lord, what a perfect sight

Made from the sun, you are

Oh, what a star you are

[Chorus]

Release, find your peace, my love

Release, find your peace, my love

Release, find your peace, my love

Release, find your peace, my love

[Chorus]

Release, find your peace, my love

Release, find your peace, my love

Release, find your peace, my love

Release, find your peace, my love

[Chorus]

Release, find your peace, my love

Release, find your peace, my love

Release, find your peace, my love

Release, find your peace, my love

[Post-Chorus]

Release, find your peace, my love

Release, find your peace, my love

Release, find your peace, my love

My love, my love

[Outro]

The city, the city, the city, the city
