Music and Lyrics
Peter Silberman stated "‘Carnage’ is a song about a kind of violence we rarely acknowledge—violence not born of cruelty, but of convenience. Innocent creatures are swept up in the path of destruction as their world collides with ours, and we barely notice."[1]
He says "Whereas my past lyrics dealt in extended metaphors, Blight takes a more direct approach. The consequences of accelerating technology and environmental neglect feel imminent; that sense of urgency made me want to speak more candidly. The present-day specifics are so unsettling, and tomorrow’s possibilities are so surreal... there’s no need to mince words."[2]
A second single from the album, "Something In the Air" was released on September 4, with lyrics that fir the album's general theme of climate change. On the second single, Silberman said “‘Something in the Air’ is about a looming threat that can take many forms... Precautions that would have seemed strange a decade ago have become ordinary routines – a new normal set against a backdrop of creeping dread. Meanwhile, doom lies dormant, waiting to erupt.”[4]
