LYRICS:
We’ve got a foot on the pedal and one in our mouth
Talking like our hands are dry when we’ve been swimming
Neck deep, soaking up the sign/stain of the times
Reveling in sanctimony, blinded by the
Beam in our own eye
Either that or we’re staring at it right in the face
And we’re choosing not to see it
That we have been conditioned to the comfort of the lie
Step one, snap out of the fantasy
Reevaluate, reality might be a forgery
Made for fear that someday we may
Face the consequences
Either that or we’re fine living the rest of our lives
With our backs to the way forward
We’ve become dependent on the poison of the lie
It’s obvious everything isn’t in its right place
Do we really need a better reason to change?
We’ve still got a foot on the pedal and one in our mouth
How many lies does it to reach the center of a saint
Desperate to hear you’re doing it right
We’ll believe just because we say it’s so
And if we say it loud enough it can’t be wrong
And with every step we drive the nail deeper in our sole
What an awful game, we play it every time we say I know the only way
So bow to me and we can all start to look the same
So bow to me and we can all start to look the same
Oh, we have grown addicted to the power of the lie
There’s a beam in our own eye
Either that or were staring at it right in the face
And we’re choosing not to see it
We’ve been made a fool by the fable of the times
(The comfort of the lie)
(The poison of the lie)
(The power of the lie)
We’ve been made a fool by the fable of the times

Nice work on the video! ​@@TheArcadianWild can we please get a lyric video for Two Kinds ASAP. With the upcoming election and the way the world is in general, we need to spread that message as much as possible.

I just started listening to The Arcadian Wild recently and I can easily say the style they use in songwriting and lyrics so unique and I love it. Spreading the word and really making you think while you listen. its amazing.

[@laurenshaejackson2838]

Killer, guys! You are not afraid of the truth.

[@TopCurls]

Was trying to count this out and got to the 6/8 pretty quickly and then I tripped and fell on my face around the 0:35 mark

[@Handrick.G.R]

🎵🎵🎵

[@Cr_nch]

This is absolutely one of my favourites from Welcome! You all knocked it out of the park with this one!!

[@xanderalexander5258]

i feel like the arcadian wild would have been real successful in the medieval times

[@mattiass.6571]

man i wanna pick up the guitar just to play folksy stuff like this

[@jikkermanccini]

Yo music aside, this animatic is banger 🤙

[@TheArcadianWild]

Isn't it, though??!? Illustration and animation by Joshua Barger, who is absolutely amazing. Check him out at joshuabarger.com and @jajj_draws

[@leisch8691]

That was awesome! Been listening to your music for over a year now and the style of music and lyrics y'all write really resonates with me. You are my favorite band by far :]

[@kylewoulfe2562]

Seen you guys in concert twice now, excited to y'all again when you come around Iowa next!

[@Absbor]

❤

[@darksun.et.al.99]

I love the creative wordplay in this song, and uses of various common phrases in unexpected ways :)

[@PrestonGandy]

Such a lovely intro! And I love the vocals, as a music lover and wannabe musician, cheers! 😁

[@JabberW00kie]

So glad I found you guys. Great music aside, your lyrics address many of the deep spiritual quandaries I’ve wrestled with in my own life.

[@bentaylor4705]

❤❤ didn't expect to hear beauty or truth like that today, thanks for providing both in the same package.

[@user-yw8lj6io6l]

Anybody else getting weird audio starting at 2:00? Maybe compression artifacts or something? This is one of my favorite songs and I’ve listened to it on Apple Music enough to know that what I’m hearing here isn’t right.

[@Soviniy]

Hmm, I wonder if this has to do with disillusionment towards religion or not. I always understood the Arcadian Wild as being Christian, so maybe this is and maybe it isn't.

[@rationalactor8695]

so many lies, you can't pick just one :)

[@saa1094]

Agree

[@ethanmontgomery2668]

@TheArcadianWild y’all should swing by Nebraska on tour sometime! Love your music and your contribution to the Behold the Lamb of God concerts! :)

[@evinr3231]

It sounds like something weird happened with the audio for this (example: 1:11 - 1:22).

[@natea5486]

Please come preform and the Saxapahaw Ball Room!!
