about
Roots is an energetic, modern rock stomper reminiscing about days of suburban adolescence, blurry nights and friends we lost along the way. Despite the bittersweet lyrics the song takes on a fistpumping and uplifting approach trying to get across a positive feeling of nostalgia and togetherness. The song is going to be released on April 9th alongside a music video and is the latest entry of Sunstain's ongoing series of singles that showcase the different styles of rock music the band takes on.
lyrics
Back in the alleyway where we spent our days,
Blowing our troubled minds away,
Blurry images of adolescence,
Hold on to your roots while you can
‘Till the blood runs dry
Now it’s the same old, dull routine
The rush and the lack long after,
The thought of all we wanted to be,
Hold on to your roots while you can
‘Till the blood runs dry
Under these signs of neon lights we shined the most
Oh every time I drift away,
It takes me to a place inside my mind, Lost in time,
I can hear it echo through the air,
And your memory carries on,
To break my fall
Come on, let’s hear it for the freaks,
Trying to fly with broken wings,
Our youth it slips through our hands in time,
So hold on to it while you can,
So hold on!
These streets of throwaways and misfits,
where hearts still march to the same beat,
and voices shout in unison
Hold on to your roots while you can
‘Till the blood runs dry
Neither of us can escape it,
We're counting days that seemed endless,
You’re gone but never forgotten,
Hold on to your roots while you can
‘Till the blood runs dry
Under these signs of neon lights we shined the most
Oh every time I drift away,
It takes me to a place inside my mind, Lost in time,
I can hear it echo through the air,
And your memory carries on,
To break my fall
Come on, let’s hear it for the freaks,
Trying to fly with broken wings,
Our youth it slips through our hands in time,
So hold on to it while you can
Oh, so hold on tight!
Cause our youth slips away in time
So we keep on shining
Hold on to your roots while you can
‘Till the blood runs dry
Groovy, proggy rock trio from Vienna. They incorporate a vast variety of different flavours into their style and their latest album is an experience to behold. They are also genuinely great people. Sunstain
