about

Do you like guitars? The Nature Strip returns with their second single for 2022, “Sixth Sense”, and it’s a riot of guitars trained on your power-pop pleasure centres.

It's a tale of unease. What was said? What was done? Something's not quite right.

lyrics

Sixth Sense

Something’s going on
I can’t put my finger on
Everything still looks the same
Your voice, your face, your skin
Your taste and touch convince
But there is something out of frame

I can feel there’s a change in the weather
Birds in a cage but not of a feather

Sixth sense, I can feel my sixth sense
Waiting for the other shoe to fall
Distance
I gotta get some distance
I should run
but I know I will crawl to you

A subtle hint here and there
Intentional or unaware
Do you even care?
A bloody crime
A creepy tale
The hounds are on a cooling trail
The evidence is just not there

Superstition is taking advantage
I gotta move
Gotta limit my damage

Sixth sense, I can feel my sixth sense
Waiting for the other shoe to fall
Bit dense
Am I just a bit dense
I don’t have the brains to make the call
Or is it balls?

If this is not just in my head
I’d rather be left all alone
But this creeping feeling’s
In my bones

Lines on the page
they do me no credit
The diary was there
I shouldn’t have read it
Can we go back to before I said it?

Sixth sense
I really need my sixth sense
Waiting for the other shoe to fall
Distance
I gotta get some distance
I should fly
but I know I will crawl to you
Yeah that’s what I do

I can feel there’s a change in the weather
Birds in a cage but not of a feather
I should fly but I’m not that clever
I wanna cry
But my pride says never
