Additional Information

This was Pacifiers first single to come off their album.

The song described by Jon: "This was about being in LA when the World Trade Center went down, the Pentagon got hit, 9/11 is happening and the whole world is fucking going crazy. The last place I wanted to be in the world was LA. I wanted to be home. I just wanted to get the fuck out but I couldn't. Planes weren't flying. I had an album to make. What the fuck was going on? I was extremely confused and extremely frightened and anxious to tell you the truth, as I'm sure a lot of people were at that point. Being in America, we didn't know what was going to happen next. I was just trying to get those thoughts out of my head. They were eating me up. I was, again, trying to get some sense of perspective on my anxiety. Like any song or piece of poetry or any writing, it's flicking from one scene to another, trying to figure out what everyone was thinking and how it affected me. It was awful, it was all over the place, but as a piece of music it seems to work pretty good." Rip It Up, Aug-Sep 2010.


“September 11. When something like that happens, the distance between you and your loved ones becomes really clear. I did need someone to comfort me at that time. That song sounds like a Harley Davidson to me. It’s got all the things about Pacifier that I love – a melody that's uplifting, ballsy riffs and a straight-ahead message.” - NZgirl.co.nz

Lyrics

Inside, I'm all twisted round
Feeling uptight and I can't come down
And I need someone to sell me
I'm safe again
And I need someone to tell me
That they really care


What have we become
Could you comfort me, comfort me
The whole world's come undone
Could you comfort me, comfort me


Back up, evolution here
All the sick fucks, being born to kill
They just need someone to sell them
They're safe again
They all need someone to tell them
That somebody cares


What have we become
Could you comfort me, comfort me
The whole world's come undone
Could you comfort me, comfort me


You're going to bring the world down
Bring the whole world down


What have we become
Could you comfort me, comfort me
The whole world's come undone
Could you comfort me, comfort me


What have we become
Could you comfort me, comfort me
The whole world's come undone
Could you comfort me, comfort me
