Airfield - Enter Shikari

A field, desolate and underfoot

A tarmac river flows

I wait to depart, an inconceivable art

When you’re no wings and all elbows

Oh, it’s so cold, I watch my breath unfold

It wraps us in a cloud of gloom

Through adversity

Hope must not become the casualty

It’s common for people to believe

Everything happens for a reason

I’m sorry, that’s false and it’s poison

But even if there is no purpose

To the things that you have gone through

An ordeal can reveal an airfield

Stop, disown fear and I’ll be here

If you need a friend, my dear

So you’re down on your luck, you’re down

Yeah, you’re down on your luck, you’re down

But that don’t mean you’re out

No, it don’t mean you’re out, now

So you’re down on your luck, you’re down

Yeah, you’re down on your luck, you’re down

But that don’t mean you’re out

No, it don’t mean you’re out, now

It don’t mean you’re out, now

It don’t mean you’re out

So you’re down on your luck, you’re down

You’re down on your luck, you’re down

But that don’t mean you’re out

It don’t mean you’re out, now

It don’t mean you’re out, now

It don’t mean you’re out

No, it don’t!

So you’re down on your luck, you’re down

Yeah, you’re down on your luck, you’re down

But that don’t mean you’re out

It don’t mean you’re out, now

It don’t mean you’re out, now

It don’t mean you’re out

No, it don’t!

So you’re down on your luck, you’re down

Yeah, you’re down on your luck, you’re down

But that don’t mean you’re out

It don’t mean you’re out, now

It don’t mean you’re out, now

It don’t mean you’re out

When the wind’s against you

Remember this insight

That’s the optimal condition

For birds to take flight

Now the wind’s against you

Don’t give up the fight
