    Terra is a merciless exploration of the shadows lingering in the deepest corners of the Australian psyche. An apocalyptic view of a society’s devastating attempt to forge identity while addressing/suppressing the ferocity of its present and past.
    Encapsulated by the desperate cries of “Don’t come around here” and “I’m not from around here”. Vocalist Oisin tells stories of “bigoted baby boomers expiring in pokie filled RSL’s; bored youths desecrating churches; merciful murders in drought ridden farm houses; an immigrant watching a country burn; a tortured conscience turning the knife on his butchering family and a stormswept childhood memory of a caravan park tragedy.”

lyrics

I’M NOT FROM AROUND HERE
I feel like digging out the shit from my constipated mind
Don’t come around here
Like I’m constantly walking around melbourne looking for a fight
Don’t come around here
I make for the hills, lying naked beneath the blue eucalyptus hue
Don’t come around here
It sits above the silicosis city haze like a tall glass of water and oil, im alone
Don’t come around here
Now my thoughts fall away from me like boiled meat from a bone
I am not from around here
The ghost gums whispering incantations, a sorrowful breeze moves the leaves
Don’t come around here
Terra nullius, terra pain, terra beauty, terra of terrors, terrible shame
You’re not from around here? Are you?!
You’re not from around here? Are you?
I’m not from around here, am i?
I am not from where my parents come from either
And I’m not from where they came
Who the fuck am i? Yeah
How about who the fuck are you

At night in shadows between suburban window’s golden glow, people are trying to belong
They’re not from around here
So are the folks inside bathing in blue TV frequencies, who tell you they’re from around here
They’re not from around here
Came in chains or tightening chains, with guns and a superior point of view
They were not from around here
With genocide in mind and a patriotizing smile
They weren’t from around here
Maybe you’re great granddaddy didn’t shoot a native
but maybe he did
Don’t come around here
Maybe it’s about time to admit that your ancestor was probably a cunt
And not from around here
It always was and always will be someone else’s land
They are from around here
Land dying, lying vacant but for a crown land sign and a fucking dangerous looking fence
It say don’t come around here
Hard lines and division, shouting into eachothers mouths won’t fulfill you
We’re not from around here
And the city keeps sprawling and the great machines keep crawling like insects upending the earth
Don’t come around here
And i am crushed by the vastness of it all
And i am choked by the sins that stain the dirt
And i cry for the “we” that only cares about “I”
And i fight to keep my feet, between the concrete and the haze, between the dust and the deafening blue sky
