The song described by Jon: "Stations [is] about getting to a point in your life where you sort of think you've got it together. But then you don't have it together, because you realize that you've still got a lot of growing up to do - or changing you do. It's talking about change I think, which essentially is a theme that runs through a lot of my music. We played it at Gerald Dwyer's funeral and that was pretty fucking nerve-racking. I remember people being pretty easy on us, because we played it real bad." Rip It Up, Aug-Sep 2010.

The song described by Jon: "Stations [is] about getting to a point in your life where you sort of think you've got it together. But then you don't have it together, because you realize that you've still got a lot of growing up to do - or changing you do. It's talking about change I think, which essentially is a theme that runs through a lot of my music. We played it at Gerald Dwyer's funeral and that was pretty fucking nerve-racking. I remember people being pretty easy on us, because we played it real bad." Rip It Up, Aug-Sep 2010.

Lyrics

These stations are empty
So distant I just cant seem to touch them
Most of the time
You can find safety in the smooth clear surface
As cool as a breeze
As helpless as this vacant civilisation
And the air we breathe
In long, slow breaths
It got us picking up our power
We're free 
Feeling free

Well I run out of eyes 
And I run out of hands
And I'm moving through spaces I don't understand
But the last thing you feel before the end of your fall
Is the start of your new life

Show us how to feel
Got a fear of flying
Been failing for years 
And now I'm sick of trying
Salvation's got a gun
No answers there for me
No sins left to pay
Let's blow this guilt away

Blow it away

As cool as a breeze
As helpless as this vacant civilisation
And the air we breathe
In long, slow breaths
It got us picking up
Picking up our power
We're free, yeah 
Feeling free
