“In late Summer 2011, Martin and I got together after having talked about doing so for a few years and started throwing down some synth-based ideas in my studio on the south side of Glasgow. ‘Manhattan' was the fourth idea we worked on together. It was the first time we messed around with sampling and chopping up our vocals which would go on to become one of the hallmarks of the band’s sound. Lyrically, we were playing around with pretty abstract apocalyptic imagery - in this case the Manhattan Project. This was right around the time we asked Lauren to come into the studio to try out some additional vocals.” - Iain Cook

Lyrics

Lap of light

Cover the way and keep my side

Or steal away from me

And keep a tight lip in secret silence

Eyes like mine

Watching you blow us all to hell

But if you took our lives

There would be no one to tell your story

How can I make you understand

Lying with you, I held your hand

“Never look down,” I heard you say

But it’s over and I just can’t believe I’m wrong

How can I make you understand

Lying with you, I held your hand

“Never look down,” I heard you say

But it’s over and I knew it was all along

Wild like time

Why can’t you believe or just abide?

The way I tell you so

I stop the day for one simple side show

Season’s smile

We were unable to stay warm

But in the darkest night

There’s an ember that’s always burning

How can I make you understand

Lying with you, I held your hand

“Never look down,” I heard you say

But it’s over and I just can’t believe I’m wrong

How can I make you understand

Lying with you, I held your hand

“Never look down,” I heard you say

But it’s over and I knew it was all along
