about

Is This the Place? dates back to the beginning of Drying Weather's relationship with ex-Enemies producer Eoin Whitfield, originally due to be recorded on the day of Ireland's first lockdown and completed in Summer 2020. Coincidentally, the song deals with themes of breaking away from confinement, which after 2 long years has finally been manifested following the lifting of pandemic restrictions.

lyrics

Knocking at your door
Won't you let me in?
You tell me your name
I'll tell you your sin
Four times out of five
Maybe more, I don't know
They ask me to go

Pecking around for crumbs
Scraps they threw away
Me and all my brothers
On the lion's mane
Or the the man from the column
But we don't know what to call him
So we call it a day

Makes no sense to me
In my bird brain
Guess I'm meant to be
Turned away

Flying on the outside
Don't break formation
Eating out of Jesus' hands, yeah
Flying on the outside
I know I'm falling
Falling to the promised land

I need so much more love
Than even three or four of
The approved can provide

Every fantasy is locked away

It's an honest life
If you live it right
Not like me
And I've seen my friends
Stepping off the edge
Taking wing

Where they go to I'm going too

Flying on the outside
To where the air is golden
Salty water glowing
This is the place we're going
