Transgression got the best of me Anyone with two eyes could see Forever in the in-between Forever down Forever Another dull eternity The whole world rolling under me Won’t learn to turn the other cheek Won’t settle down No, never Will I be satisfied nor leave well enough alone? Another’s eyes to meet Grim symmetry The man I’d like to be A guillotine The stranger on the street A feeling of incompleteness Washes over me Over everything Another obvious trap door Yet I am falling through the floor My friends and neighbours are appalled Forever in The cellar Another bar, another night One more attempt to be polite These sneaking feelings won’t keep quiet But I will try because I Fear that it gets less clear the the more it is explained Another’s eyes to meet Grim symmetry The man I’d like to be A guillotine A stranger on the street A feeling of incompleteness Washes over me Over everything

about

Ducks Ltd.’s single “Grim Symmetry” bursts open with high-speed jangly guitar riffs and an unstoppable bassline and drum beat. The bright, propulsive track’s lyrics are contrastingly wistful though, despite their whimsical delivery. Written during the Modern Fiction era, “Grim Symmetry” finds singer Tom Mcgreevy in deep self-reflection, recognizing his flaws only after seeing them in others. True to form, Ducks Ltd.'s music sweetens the bitter pill.
