Searching For a Former Clarity, 2005
Written by Laura Jane Grace, James Bowman, Andrew Seward, and Warren Oakes
An acoustic punk song delivered in a growling bellow. Grace's introspective and sometimes abstruse lyrics describe an unyielding world. "And somewhere off in the distance, rapidly advancing, is an onslaught of sorts / Young sirens wail in a skewed sense of glory / And the lions in the cages roar at the memory of fight." Is it a conquering army? Is the klaxon and chaos of a revolution? Maybe it's all a jumble; the import thing is that joy can still be found somewhere, despite it all.
