Either Way

from Au Sable by MEGA PIXEL

/

about

Modern campfire music that functions best as a reminder to cut yourself some slack. Consisting of one powerful verse and a lush arrangement of acoustic guitar, piano and a simple 808 beat, Either Way drives home the notion that there is only so much that we can control. Recorded segments of water from northern Michigan’s Au Sable River, where the band recorded the EP, are placed throughout the track to highlight the importance of going with the flow.

lyrics

A wise man said you can’t predict the weather
We could struggle, let’s just do it together
Life is velvet and it’s tougher than leather
But all materials aside you know it’s simply whatever
We decide how we treat the bumpiest rides
How you look me in the eyes at the loveliest times
No, really, how come I’m the luckiest guy?
That’s how I feel when we moving,I can’t wait to arrive
But, forget the BuzzFeed news and open letters to
All the twenty-somethings titled "How To Be a Better You"
Listen, you need something for which you’re better suit
Let’s road-trip to a mind state with a better view
Don’t let the stakes marinate in your thoughts
Or you’ll be
Out of fuel ‘cause over thinking exhausts
You never truly feel like you really evolved
So when you hear the call
Answer that and proceed to talk
Like, "Hello?"
Now theres a voice on the line
Could be your mother’s, brother’s, sister’s, cousin’s, maybe it’s mine
Maybe it’s right
But listen maybe it’s wrong
But facing something is better than putting your face in your palm
There’s not an outcome you couldn’t come out from
We sit and wonder how come it still hasn’t happened yet
Why's it feel like we’re swimming steel
What’s the deal with satisfaction and why we don’t have it yet?
I’ve been the worst at times
I’ve been the greatest
I’ve lost the game at times
At least I played it
I’ve lost the bet but don’t regret that I made it
So when it’s going downhill, you know at least I’m gon’ skate it
Hah
Right
Coasting
Uh

Sometimes I’m high
Sometimes I’m low
Take the lead
Or follow
But I’ll survive
You knew I would
Win or lose
Either way, I’m good

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Either way, I’m good

Sometimes I’m low
Take the lead
Or follow
But I’ll survive
You knew I would
Win or lose
Either way, I’m good
