about

"REDACTED," the second single from The Pines of Rome's album "The Unstruck Bell" (out 5/26), is about the secrets that are kept from us for our own good, only to haunt us down the line. "A friend of mine's dad worked for Raytheon. He never told her what he did there. He was this quiet guy who sat at the dinner table chewing his steak, but all day he'd been working out how to kill people more efficiently. It cast a shadow over the whole family."

lyrics

You were born in REDACTED
you were the only kid
Your father worked for Raytheon, but he never said what he did
Your body was the battlefield of a forgotten war
They’re still digging up ordinance, but no one knows what we were fighting for

And you—
You’re a shotgun in the night
A lightning bolt in flight
You’re a Halloween black light

Time is like a Jets game: I’ve never seen it once
but what a shame if all we shared was the violence?
Tell me how the decade ends
Write it like a song
Harden it and seed the clouds
A rain to right the wrong

And you—
You’re a laser on the moon
Red light in the darkroom
You’re the spark that fades too soon

And you are an arc light in the sky
You’re a raging firefly
You are the falling satellite
who never understood the night
You’re a Halloween black light
The spark that fades too soon
You’re a laser on the moon
