about
Walk The Line, the group's first new single since the propulsive standalone track Drawn Together released six years ago, Cog dazzle with buoyant soundscapes, oscillating guitars, driving drumwork, and fluid basslines alongside the ever-commanding vocal stylings of Flynn Gower.
An immediate Cog classic with its raw yet blissful dynamic shifts, Walk The Line was exclusively premiered ahead of its official release on the band's YouTube channel, and finds the trio -- vocalist Flynn, bassist Luke Gower and drummer Lucius Borich -- in their most assured form to date, while also brandishing real-world undertones as Cog reflect on the realities of life as a musician in 2025, as well as looking to what may come next.
"Walk The Line expresses it all for us," shares Flynn. "Life for the three of us is fucking hard at the moment, the three of us individually are struggling to just survive and keep our heads above water. When you look at the work that goes into a song like this alone, the cost and the general lack of return, it's all becoming almost impossible for us."
"Almost everyone I know is in the same boat," Flynn continues, "they're on struggle street, scratching their heads and wondering how to survive. The microcosm of the music and arts industry in Australia has gotten especially tough, and we're all feeling the effects of that."
"As a band we are working on stuff, we're working towards other songs. But at this point in time we really don't know what the future holds, and we don't know if this will be the last song. And that's really what Walk The Line is all about at its core."
lyrics
Home...
We (are) we all going to go?
Now that we know ah yeah
They don’t care about us.
Home...
We (are) we all going to go?
Now that we know ah yeah
They don’t care about us.
There’s a time when the people know,
Change it’s gotta happen… o
They’ve been walking the line,
Losing they’re minds,
Waiting for the right time,
Holding on.
There’s a time when the people know,
Change it’s gotta happen… o
They’ve been walking the line,
Losing they’re minds,
Waiting for the right time,
Holding on.
No Home....
Waiting for the right time,
Holding on.
No Home....
Waiting for the right time,
Holding on.
Walking The Line..
Don’t weep
You’ve been dreaming but you don’t sleep
You’ve been looking but you can’t see.
Don’t weep
You’ve been dreaming but you don’t sleep
You’ve been looking but you can’t see.
Walking The Line...
Paralysed,
in our minds
And you can’t shake the feeling that you want to cry
Unaware,
Don’t you know?
That you can’t buy a ticket to the overthrow,
Buckle up,
Things get rough
And the road back to home base
Gonna be tough
That’s us!
Living as we come together
And we catalyse
catalyse oh yeah…!
There’s a time when the people know,
No home,
Change it’s gotta happen… o
They’ve been walking the line,
Losing they’re minds,
Waiting for the right time,
Holding on.
There’s a time when the people know,
No home,
Change it’s gotta happen… o
They’ve been walking the line,
Losing they’re minds,
Waiting for the right time,
Holding on.
Don’t weep,
You’ve been dreaming but you don’t sleep
No Home,
You’ve been looking but you can’t see.
Walking the line...
Waiting for the right time,
Holding on..
Don’t weep,
You’ve been dreaming but you don’t sleep
No Home,
You’ve been looking but you can’t see.
Walking the line...
Waiting for the right time,
Holding on..
I've been feeling a lot today yeah, yes I'm holding the line but it takes so long...
We're not feeling it's right today yeah there's something in the mix and it feels so wrong.
