about

Disguiser was the first track we worked on when recording Godspeed. It became an anchor point for us during the writing process. We wanted to spend as much time as possible in the studio playing together instead of nerding behind the mixing desk like we’d done in the past. Also reminiscing about how a song like this would sound on a festival. That kind of energy was new to us during a recording session and it kind of made us realize that we can actually still act as if we’re on tour even though we’re stuck in the studio without anyone around.

Me and Wannes wrote the lyrics for this tune very late in the process. We wanted this song to be an introduction to this “mascotte”-thing. About wanting to rip off this layer of fakeness and walk away from it, but still being chased around by it every minute of the day.

lyrics

feeling alright
as a cure for this pain
a way to sustain the heart
before it crashes again

telling you lies
from the back of my head
staring into the light
from the edge of the bed

wrapped up in disguise
still feels like you are following
wave at my back and know that i know the feeling

driving you out
through my lungs and my veins
winning a losing war
without moving my face

hearing your lies
is no cure for my ache
it only sustains the lust
i’m crashing again

wrapped up in disguise
still feels like you are following
wave at my back and know that i know the feeling

wrapped up in disguise
still feels like you are following
wave at my back and know that i know the feeling
