About This Track

'Certainty' by Temples is an alternative track from the album 'Volcano' (2017). The lyrics tumble through images of diagrams and placement, from “the picture and the details” to an architectural sense of bridges and going on. It feels like a mind chasing precision, then stepping back as the scene widens, with lines that suggest being positioned, landing, and moving through sight and space. The overall tone reads as abstract and schematic, more occupied with forms than feelings, yet still pressing towards a settled idea of certainty.

"Certainty" is a single by Temples, from the album Volcano, released 3rd March 2017. The track is 4:25 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 6 articles about Temples.

Lyrics

Certainty

I've got, I've got, the picture and the details
Outside, under within the sights
We stand, we land the form of parallelogram
On the sun to the Netherlands
We appear and go on
Tonight, the bridge is growing to the other side
Onto, off and beneath the sun
You land lone there disposed to nether Netherlands
In a boat to the Netherlands
We appear and recall
The way is a way, think slowly
The sun is standing lighted
I want to know that certainty's in my life
I want to know that certainty's in the light
I want to know that certainty's in my life
Isn't lonely and more defined
You've got, you've got the mission and the pieces
In hand off beneath you stand
We turn we make the sceens to nether Netherlands
On the sun to the Netherlands
We appear to rule
The way is a way, think slowly
The sky turning, sending light in
I want to know that certainty's in my life
I want to know that certainty's in the light
I want to know that certainty's in my life
Isn't lonely and more defined
