    Lyrics:
    Another morning I awake without exception. Though I guess now it's closer to the afternoon.
    And I am not the first one up as is tradition, but the last to go to sleep, along with you.
    I breathe in the scent of coffee from the kitchen. I hear the laughter spilling from the other room.
    And so I drag my body up and join the living. A warm reception almost right on cue.
    And I never would have thought it could ever be this good.
    And I know each moment’s fleeting but right now I feel like I'm right where I should be.
    I am not a perfect man, I fuck up often.
    At least I never have to wonder why I came.
    And if you're honest with yourself I bet it's painful.
    You and I are far less different than they say.
    So where do you fit in?
    So where do you fit in?
    Another night the sun goes down without exception. I hear The Matches playing from the other room.
    It's been a day since I have glanced at my reflection...No words of judgment coming from our crew.
    We start a fire just as the stars arrive and I am lost within the flames until a touch from you brings me back to what feels like the perfect day.
    So why is it you think, some people never feel alive?
    Don't they know each moment’s fleeting?
    I can't help but feeling I'm right where I should be.
    And I am not a perfect friend, a perfect lover.
    I admit sometimes I have too many drinks.
    But we are all degenerates half on the inside.
    You and I are far less different than they say.
    So where do you fit in?
    So where do you fit in?
    I think I found my place,
    To fill that empty space,
    That feeling we all chase.
    (So where do you fit in?)
    And we can sing off key,
    As long as we all sing,
    We sing it beautifully.
    My head was heavy with thoughts when I got home. I started to focus on my fears, I thought of dying alone.
    But how I hate to get caught in pointless thought...self-pity gets me nowhere.
    I guess we've all got things we're still working out...
    I think I found my place.

    I've felt lost my entire life. I still do. This song is everything I needed right now. Just goes to show how similar our human experiences actually are. We're taught to believe all this divisive shit, but really we're more alike than ever...we're all just looking for our place. Brilliant song, guys. Thank you for this

    Thank you for carrying your torch brightly. I have seen so many bands go too crazy and change instead of evolve. This is a newer sound to something like Satori but refined in a way that isn't alienating. Its rare when a band can keep blazing into new territory without losing their identity that made me fall in love with them in the first place. Keep it up guys.

    Excuse me for being stupid while saying this, but I really wish I knew the people this song was written for. who it's about or dedicated to, I mean.
    Because I get the exact feeling I used to have whenever I stayed at my friends' place.
    The first verse got me into this overwhelming feeling of nostalgia in particular :)

      "Track One: Degenerates
      Back at home in the San Francisco Bay Area, I know a pretty incredible group of people whom I classify as “my best friends.” We’re essentially new age hippies; professional individuals with high aspirations, that also know how to have a good time. During those good times, we tend to lovingly refer to our outfit as “The Degenerates.” This song drew inspiration from a trip we took to a cabin to ring in the 2017 new year. The song encompasses the overwhelming feeling of gratitude I had for my life and the people in it that weekend, and the emptiness I felt when I was in solitude upon my return. It led to the realization that, when you TRULY feel something, it can create a void in it’s absence. I’ve found that life tends to try to balance itself. Without the lows you don’t truly feel the highs, and the reverse is just as true. All in all, this song is about finding your place."

    These lyrics are pretty sour in retrospect of what happened. I only just found the band, listened to 2 albums and loved them before hearing why they were on hiatus. It's a weird thing, to think that since the band broke up there's no reason *not* to listen to them, it's not like it's contributing to any ongoing harm, but... Do I *want* to try to ignore the background? Eugh.
    I guess if nothing else it's a good reminder that when someone says 'I am not a perfect man I fuck up often' there's always a chance that they aren't talking about petty arguments or difficult choices, they might just be a scumbag. "We are all degenerates"? Not many of us did *that*, dude.
