Lyrics

Distant populations going nowhere
So far away from us, you wouldn’t know where
Opposite of you, opposite of me
Generations leveled and taken by the sea
Inversion
10 thousand saints who haven’t got a chance
Invisible people in a sacred expanse
What is it with you? What is it with me?
Distant populations you never even see
Out of sight, out of mind
Willingly blind Inversion
So far away from us

Epitaph Records is an artist-first indie label founded in Los Angeles by Bad Religion guitarist, Brett Gurewitz. Early releases from a variety of punk heavyweights helped launch the 90s punk explosion. Along the way, Epitaph has grown and evolved creatively while sticking to its mission of helping real artists make great recordings on their own terms.

I JUST NOTICED SOMETHING AFTER HEARING IT 3 TIMES.... "INVERSION".... the chord structure in the VERSE and the chords in the CHORUS are almost exactly the same, but "BACKWARD" (pun intended)... therefore, the title... INVERSION makes perfect sense!! in fact, they ARE the same (this goes to anyone with knowledge of Relative Major or Relative Minor)... as the 3rd Chord in verse, which is Dflat major... BUT in the chorus, it starts backwards on B flat (5)(no major or minor), which is the relative minor to Dflat Major. so therefore, it actually IS a complete "INVERSION".... Very clever, Walter. You are a SUPERGENIUS (another pun intended) but true!!

Discography goes with me everywhere I go. Walter Schreifels is my spirit animal!

Quicksand 2021, who would have thunk!!

[justintaylor]

So many 90s bands have become mock versions of themselves, without bringing something new to the table. Quicksand is out here making something vital and engaging as opposed to just becoming their own tribute band like so many others. 👏

Reminds me a bit of Jane's Addiction, but with Quicksand making the song up. ;) Great song! Powerful guitars!
