about

The first child of Bronston’s matrimony with producer Luke Bovill, ‘Temples & Mines’ is a song about overcoming mental health struggles. When life’s pressures build up and dark thoughts take control of your mind, you need to force yourself to battle through. Salvation can be found through perseverance and structure, if you are able to to fight your way out of the chaos.

lyrics

I feel like feeling sorry for myself tonight
But self-pity binds, squeezes and contracts one’s mind
So let the gods decide and relieve me of all surplus pride
The ocean collides with the shoreline that runs from high-tide

And when it starts I know you feel it too
I hit the ground when I fell for you
Slick and smooth, it moves

I feel like the vanishing elation is hiding in plain sight
The temples and mines satisfy our obsession with passing the time

And when I starts I know you feel it too
I hit the ground when I fell for you
Slick and smooth, it moves

When it gets dark I know it affects you
You must’ve hit the ground when you fell for me too
Slick and smooth and blue, it moves

I am reminded of them every night
The reasons I don’t want to close my eyes
I can postpone my fears with sleight of hand
But we all wake up in the endless sand
This magic potion makes me half a man
Keeps me in the set of things with grander plans
