LYRICS:
Cityscape Skeletons
Taking shape and growing skin
Layer and layer is peeled away
Exhausted

From the repetition of always needing to rebuild
Worn down faces in colorful barren places

City lights and skylines
Guiding home our wandering minds
Tucking us into tortoise shells
Suppressing the outside sounds of relentless consciousness

Where is contemplative terrain that sleeps with the setting sun?
This nocturnal apathy
Binging on shadow and smoke
It's endlessly coming undone

When the ground falls out who will take my hands?
When things fall apart who will take my hand?

I never though that I could withstand
Falling short when I'm a broken man
You never know how much I meant it in love
Every night I'm beside you weeks away you're sleeping alone
Did you ever know how much I meant it?

Millions of tiny pieces looking in on themselves
Reflected in the water
Unaware of each other
Every piece could find its place back in the puzzle
What was one is shattered into many and longs to be whole again

But nothing ever fits quite the same in the end

I never though that I could withstand
Falling short when I'm a broken man
You never know how much I meant it in love

I never though that I could withstand
Falling short when I'm a broken man
Every night I'm beside you weeks away you're sleeping alone
Did you ever know how much I meant it?

When the ground falls out who will take my hands?
When things fall apart who will take my hand?

Never thought I'd see a music video like this from ERRA. Good vibes! Reminiscent of my solo late night drives while blasting ERRA.

i commented almost 6 months ago that march 13th 2023 would be the best day of my life, and i wasn't wrong. during this song (which was my absolute favourite song of the set), JT actually noticed the trance i was in singing along and crying my eyes out and actually pointed the mic at me, waved his hand and said "SING IT". ill never forget that, ever

[erikshaw]

I wish everybody would give these guys the listen they deserve. One of the best bands around.

The greatest friend I've ever had in my entire life passed away last month. We served in the Marine Corps together and spent Christmas in the Middle East once too. Just me and him at work, 12 hours a day, sometimes 7 days a week, no one else. We're both out of the Marines now but we hung out every week after we got out since we both moved to Arizona. I lived near him in Phoenix for the first year we were out, but I moved to California for work in July last year and hadn't seen him since then.. I was going to stay with him for 3 days before I drove home to Arkansas for christmas last month. I ate dinner with him a few hours before he died, and that was the first time I'd seen him since I moved to Los Angeles. He had to go run some errands after we ate, but said he'd be home soon to see me. I was waiting in his driveway later that night and he texted me at 10:59 PM to say, "I'm about to be on my way home, see you soon buddy, I love you" He wrecked his motorcycle at 11:01 PM. I fell asleep in my car at his house waiting for him. I woke up at 7 the next morning to my phone ringing in my lap. It was our old Gunnery Sergeant calling me to break the news...It was so hard to drive away from his house and continue the 20 hour drive home to Arkansas from Phoenix by myself for Christmas.. But I didn't have a reason to stay in Phoenix anymore..

I was lucky enough to have his mom pay for all my travel costs to go to his services in his hometown right before Christmas. I got her number from another Marine after I got off the phone with the Gunnery Sergeant.. I remember her saying, "Blake told me you were his best friend in the whole world so I'll do whatever I have to do to get you up here for him." She had only ever met me one time before that. I have had nightmares almost every night since his passing. I am heartbroken.

This was Blake's favorite song. It always makes me think of him. Rest in peace, Blake Justin Newman. United States Marine Corps, 2013-2017. Phoenix Police Dept.

Until Valhalla, Warrior.. My sweetest friend.. I love you. Semper Fidelis, Marine.

Just got back from their concert in Nashville tonight (4/26/24), laying in bed and can’t express how incredible it was to hear this song live. Cold chills.

Yesterday I woke up for work at 6am and this song was stuck in my head.. couldn't figure out why. I got ready for work as I normally do and couldn't help but put this on as I got in my car and headed for work. Though it was only 630am at that point I had completely wrapped my head around this song and was blasting it as I was driving down the road.

The 1st verse kicked in and I started to tear up.. I realized it was this song that was bringing me back to a time when one of my best friends, whom I don't see anymore, would hang out with me almost every day, Skate, play video games, just living it up like best friends could.

I don't see him anymore because he chose a life that I don't want to, and cannot be a part of. He was struggling, like many of us, with a lot and found the wrong avenue to alleviate stress and anxiety. I however managed to pull myself from the depression that I was in and quit with all the bad influences in my life. We could no longer be friends.

We now live different lives and no longer see each other. It is songs like this that helps me to remember the good times I had with my best friend. I ended up playing this song all day and it was a nostalgic feeling like no other. Brought me to tears. Thank you Erra for your music, I can't explain how much it has helped me.

See you in Feb 2023 @ Ace of Spades, Sacramento CA ❤️‍🔥

Me and my ex from a few years back would sit in our old apartment which overlooked the Kansas City skyline and watch the sunset almost every night. We're not together anymore... Took awhile to get over her. I only recently did a deep dive into Erra's music and they're now one of my favorites. I think if I'd heard this right after me and my ex split up, I would have been bawling my eyes out. Even years later it still reminds me so much of her. Such a great song and band. Saw them live for the first time in November. Amazing show.

[phluffmasterflex]

When I hear songs like this it makes me that much happier that I never outgrew this Genre but grew with it.

[johnnygotgrowls]

Beautiful. Love this record so much. Stoked for the next chapter! Keep it up my dudes!

[lilvegan]

Erra will always strike like a knife to the heart.
I've also just now put my finger on the fact that his vocals remind me of bits and pieces of Saosin❤

[TouringWolf]

This isnt just any song ITS ART, PURE ART

[nickpappy]

Erra is one of the few bands with cleans that I DIG the fuck out of. hourglass and skyline in particular are probably my favs from this album.. Jesse just fucking destroys these songs in the best way. <3

[raviolimaster]

if you ever have to travel in the car with someone you dont know, and you find the conversation becomes dull, just throw this banger on like its a hidden key in your arsenal of keeping it fresh tool belt

[tlawless]

The last 30 seconds is the best part of the song. So much emotion, so well done. 11/10

[Aerogenic_X]

(Skyline) hits different in this new Era . Point intended. Wrote this years ago to read it now what a poet

[danlapham]

Thank you for making this song guys, you have no idea how much it helped me when I buried my dog, my best friend of 10 years.

Thank you Erra, your music hit home and did exactly what musicians are on this earth to do..move us with their creations.

[Jakercut]

this song really manages to put a lump in my throat when i'm in the right mood. what a beautiful, soul-cleansing piece of fucking music holy fucking shit

1:37 and 4:11 is what does it for me. march 13th 2023 is going to be the best day of my life

[matt]

this song is what got me into metal, masterpiece.

[Aerogenic_X]

Him driving outta the pillar of life is beautiful

[timmyblower]

By far the best band around. Cant get enough of this whole album drift.
