This song is about the repetitiveness and the sometimes droning bits of everyday life. "Artificial Light" tries to create he visual of a person (could be male or female) waking up to a life that isn't quite as real or engaging as they had hoped.

This was a song I wrote to a beat that I wrote for a friend to rap over, unfortunately for him I liked it too much and wrote this the same night we came up with the instrumental. The meaning behind the song is not meant to be set in stone, but it was inspired by a scene I thought up where a person on a roof is seen regularly by a man below, and then about how this man creates a persona for the man on the roof. Singing bear is just a metaphor for anything that provides comfort.

It was a cold hard day
Up amongst the rafters
Nothing was changing
Except the suns rays and

When he looked down
He saw all of his masters
Someday I will look up to him
and say

Save yourself,
Mr. poor man can't you see
The people are warm
and you are free to go

Undoubtedly,
you can't see from my point of view
Some people say you lost your way and can't get out

And some people they strange whisper and you fall into a wisp of despair till you believe

Yeah you believe,
Your hope is on the wire
Give me its only faith and cornered style
I want you take all of my gratitude
I've got my singing bear for me too
Staring at me looking through everything i do
I believe, I believe, I believe, you'll believe in it too

Wrote the chorus of this first, and the verses basically reflect a one-sided dialogue between two people that were in a relationship and one of them just kind of walked out on the other. "Truth carries all, while time cures the mold." This was the first line written, from there it spun out on its own.

Night Dress began as a song that I initially improvised lyrically on. The term night dress grew into this idea of how people are generally a bit different (more themselves) with people they are more comfortable with. It also delves a bit into sexual orientation and how it just shouldn't matter what consenting adults within their own private time. If I was to interpret this song literally for you, it is about a man who wants to be with a woman who dumped him after finding out that he sometimes dressed up in women's clothing (night dress).
