about
The third and final single "Oh No" from Northern Royals debut EP is out now! We saved this one for last as it's an absolute banger! The guitar riff builds up to the biggest chorus on the EP and it's the perfect sing along for our live shows. Filmed in at old abandoned schoolhouse in Arborg, MB. The building is barely standing with roots coming through the foundation which may be the only thing holding the structure up. This is the perfect representation of the song which describes the internal struggle and anxiety that comes with everyday life. Working a job to pay the bills, maintaining relationships, and working on your own mental health. Then there's what you live for, your passion, your hobby, your interests, these will always be important to you, don't let anyone tell you that it's not. Never forget your roots, never forget what makes you happy, and if something does make you happy, never stop! We work to survive, but it's our passion that allows us to live.
lyrics
Try to fix my mind, I never wanted it, I never needed it, I never fell for it
Trying to fix my brain, you know I never asked for this
You cut me down to size, that took me by surprise
I need a place to hide
Oh No, Oh No, that’s crossing a line
Oh No, Oh No, you think I’m wasting my time
Oh No, Oh No, you’ve been putting me down
Oh No, Oh No, that’s crossing a
Lining me up to fight, like a soldier, a toy solider
Lining me up to die, like a coward, no power
I never fought for this, I needed space I guess
I need a place to hide
Oh No, Oh No, and that’s crossing a line
Oh No, Oh No, you think I’m wasting my time
Oh No, Oh No, you’ve been putting me down
Oh No, Oh No, and that’s crossing a line
Living a lie, I tried, not enough, oh no
Taking my time, doing it right, living my life, oh no
Crossing a line, that’s fine, I’m gone, oh no
Oh No, Oh No, you crossed the line
Oh No, Oh No, not wasting time
Oh No, Oh No, stop putting me down
Oh No, Oh No, that’s crossing a line
You think I’m wasting my time
Too long, too long you’ve been putting me down
And that’s crossing a line
Oh No
