about

"The process of writing, recording, and performing Nameless has felt much like buying a box of old plates and smashing them in the backyard. It explores decades and phases, carrying a name that few pronounce correctly, and at times I really didn't like.
The band slays this tune so hard. They nail the angst of teenage/adult insecurities while still being polite about it."

lyrics

If you see my name can you say it right out loud
Or are you still unsure
Can you hear the words and how they sound
My name is just a word given to me
My name is just a word given to me

I was young, I didn’t fit in, wished my name was Christine
She sang to him “Oh think of me, think of me fondly”
She wasn’t afraid of a broken man and setting the world on fire
Christine was a name that spelled desire
Christine was a name that spelled desire

Knighted
Nameless
Bent down on a broken knee

Seventeen in a Queensborough dream at the end of South Dyke Rd.
I watched the boats going back and forth some coming, others going
Put me in the captains stand and send me out to sea
Won’t you call me sailorly
Won’t you call me sailorly

Knighted
Nameless
Bent down on a broken knee

What’s my name and who am I
Who do you want me to be
Everybody seems to know, everyone but me
I’ll be down at the rivers side cracking stones in half
Looking for a way to change the past
Looking for a way to change the past

Knighted
Nameless
Bent down on a broken knee
