Defy the distance

"Defy the distance" is a song by LorD and Master from the album Demeanour. The song is the spiritual successor to "Alliteration" from the album Univerbose, since it has a very alliterative chorus. The song is about using technology to circumvent the issues of missing someone who lives 100 miles away, inspired by LorD and Master's relationship with Peter Nugent.

Lyrics

One hundred miles may as well be light-years
When I can't get to you
When I'm down and I need a kiss or two

I occupy my time with nonsense
When I can't get to you
Now it seems there's nothing left to do

Defy the distance like it's
A punishing parent and I
Can't be coherent when you're gone
It's more than missing you when
I wanna be kissing you then
I think you know where I'm coming from

I found a representation of you
A digital work of art
And I'll keep it close when we're apart

If love's an electric impulse
And hormones pumped by the heart
Electrochemical readings off the chart
