Oak is a song about Dan’s grandmother who has dementia. Its about the difficulty of visiting her when she has difficulty remembering her life, her family, her late husband and even Dan himself.
lyrics
Your eyes are glazed
You remember the face but not the name
In the picture frame above your doorway
There was once an embrace
All the words came to play
Now you can’t speak the same
Who are you today? Are you ok?
Now I can’t step foot inside that house
It’s not you its the ghost that haunts it now
Would you know my name if I called round?
Would you shout it out or would you ask around?
There was once an embrace
All the words came to play
Still you can't speak the same
Who are you today? Are you ok?
You were the perfect pair
You’d wake at six in the morning
Just ‘cause he liked your hair like that
Who are you today? Are you ok?
Now I can’t step foot inside that house
It’s not you its the ghost that haunts it now
Would you know my name if I called round?
Would you shout it out or would you ask around?
Yeah would you ask around?
And would you ask around?
Now I can’t step foot inside that house
It’s not you its the ghost that haunts it now
Would you know my name if I called round?
Would you shout it out or would you ask around?
And I can't step foot inside that house
Its not you, its the ghost of him that haunts me now
Would you know my face if I called round?
Do you recognise me, do you recognise me anymore?
Do you recognise me anymore?
Do you recognise me anymore?
Do you recognise me anymore?
Do you recognise me anymore?

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world.
But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur
