about

“Evolve” may in fact be Luxury Deathtrap’s most ambitious song to date, clocking in at more than six minutes long, with no regard for the current practice of releasing short songs to pad streaming numbers. With an aural DNA of alternative, shoegaze, and progressive rock, “Evolve” exudes a journey-like demeanor that echoes its lyrical focus, where songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist Nicholas McGowan pulls back the curtain on his own personal growth as a person. For Luxury Deathtrap, the evolution of its members is as front-and-center as its evolution as a collective creative unit.

lyrics

Hope
Find some way to heaven
Pray
Cause the serpents waiting
Pull me closer
I often don’t want to wait
Even feathers carry weight
To the earth they return
Hope
Take you out from under
This place
So far from heaven
No light
Penetrates down here
As you seek shelter from shame
Pull me closer
I often don’t want to wait
Even feathers carry weight
To the earth they return
I want you to temper the flames that hold you down
I want you to temper the old ways down
Cause I can’t watch you disappear
I can’t see you disappear
Take me
This time won’t you please
Show me
Something
That’s right
Can you please
Get me out of this place
Yeah you!
