Below is something of an explanation of what each song means to me, but you may find other interpretations. I would hope so, at least.

“Sticks on Skins”
A friendly glow rides a muted rhythm, approaching through the mists, illuminating a larger, endless expanse.

“Older than Bones”
Before there were bones, mountain ranges and vast oceans ebbed and flowed under the wind.

“The Seal Cannot Be After the Doorway”
The cows have left the barn. The cat’s out of the bag. The genie is out of the bottle. You can’t put toothpaste back in the tube. The door is open behind us.

“More Fire in More Places”
An alarm sounds, but it’s already here.

“Strange Years”
Sit. Take five minutes for yourself. And five for everything you’ve lost.
