11.) – WITH BRAVE WINGS, SHE FLIES (FEAT. LILY ABBOT) (5:27)
The band close out their debut album with the final track ‘With Brave Wings, She Flies’ which features the only collaboration on the collection as they team up with fellow rocker ‘Lily Abbot’. The track is an opportunity for the band to fully explore their rock credentials and they prove to do so, the song finds itself dominated early on with a powerful electric guitar riff provided by Beau Nero alongside a non-stop drumming master class from Jonah Espinosa, and it becomes evident that all four members of the band play a major part in the song, with Gunner Lee keeping things in place with his rhythmic bass playing. The lyrics hit a darker side as Koda sings about a girl who finds herself judged an slowly starts to fall apart, lyrically the song has a few “moments” as Koda fires out the line “Instead of her father photographing her on prom day/She’s wandering to the cemetery to lay flowers on his grave” and Lily follows up with “Each day she listens to her insides slowly screaming/Is it a cold, harsh reality or is she dreaming?” and it’s evident that both singers are on the same page both vocally, emotionally and in particular lyrically as Lily put her own stamp on the song and made it fit perfectly. The track as a whole has a powerful rock feel, but lyrically tells a story, with a particularly heart-breaking ending as the final words from ‘Penetralia’s’ debut album ring in your ears, “She closes her eyes/And with brave wings, she flies”
Bold = Scream Purple = Lily vocals Black = Koda vocals
“She sits alone in the dark Staring up at the moon and the stars Says she loves how they never cease to sparkle at night She calls it her sanctuary Her safe place Her retreat
It’s hard to believe that she can still smile When the world seems intent on bringing her down For a girl so young, she doesn’t deserve to face such pain But she fights her fears Smiles through all of her tears And wakes each morning to take it all on again
And they look down on her With sharp tongues and judgemental eyes Piercing stares and made-up lies And it contradicts her own beliefs in the goodness of the world But she keeps on believing For as long as she continues breathing Things will get better
One by one, things get worse She starts to believe that she’s the curse People leave her She’s the common link She’s battling her demons She’s on the brink
Instead of her father photographing her on prom day She’s wandering to the cemetery to lay flowers on his grave She sits beside him, knowing he’s listening Stares up at the stars and moon As they shine down on her glistening And she cries and screams out ‘I need you more than ever If you’re gonna take them away I don’t want your forever Just take me with him Take me now’
Each day she listens to her insides slowly screaming Is it a cold, harsh reality or is she dreaming? The world has turned on her Making her see her darkest fear She can't take it Living without you here Fairytales and happy endings never gave her comfort For eternity she will suffer
She locks her door Turns her music up loud Stares at an old photograph And cries ‘sorry I never made you proud’ She fashions a rope From an old school tie Closes her eyes And with brave wings, she flies” OOC: Finally finished the album! I know it wasn't so detailed but hopefully it was okay :) |

THANKS
“It may not seem like it to a casual observer but it’s been a long journey for ‘Penetralia’ to get to this point, but it feels extremely remarkable to be at this point. To have a string of singles to our name and to be able to say that we have our debut album out is just unreal, it’s the dream man, it really is and all of this and we truly mean all of this, would not be possible without the helping hands, so we’d like to thank;
Our Family and Friends We’ve not always been the easiest bunch of people to deal with and we’re sure there’s been times when we’ve caused each of you some form of emotional turmoil and we apologize whole heartedly for that, but would you really want us any other way? You all deserve huge credit though, because if you look at us now and see what we’ve become and how far we’ve gone in order to become the people that we are now you will no doubt be amazed at the progress. The men that all four of us are right now is wholeheartedly down to our families for guiding us along when the road has seemed at it’s most dreary and bleakest. So we can’t promise that there won’t be struggles ahead, but we’re sure that together we will all help each other through it all and as we were always taught … the sun shines brightest in the aftermath of the harshest storm! Thank you for your support and guidance.
Liberation/Nomad Records You took a chance on us and we thank you for the opportunity. We’ve enjoyed the freedom that we’ve been given to make the album that we wanted to make and we’re incredibly proud to be at a label that we’ve always rated highly and supported. Thanks!
Alternative Press You saw something in us at a time when we felt we had missed our opportunity and helped revitalise us and your support won’t ever be forgotten!
Bill Owens You put your time and energy and resources into us for what was no doubt at times a frustrating three month period. But the passion and education that you gave us helped immensely, the fact that you saw something in us to give up as much of your time as you did is something that we’re truly grateful for. We’ll not forget it!
Lily Abbot An absolute honour that you’d even consider working with us. The mark that you left on the record just from one song shows the power that you possess and it was a blast to hang out with you for a couple of days. However, the industry is missing you, so we’re hoping that you decide to get back in the game and show us upstarts how it’s really done. With love and thanks xoxo
Our Fans The absolute driving force, what started out as six or seven friends at our first ever gig has stretched across continents and the passion that you invoke into us as a band is the absolute driving force behind what we do. As things have moved quickly for us in the past few months we have made sure that we’ve stuck to our principles and from day one our aim is to make music for the people that support us so passionately. We continue to listen to your stories both in person and via social media and we are always so proud of all of you. You are all incredibly strong people and we’re certain each one of you will make your own mark on the world, so truly we thank you for letting us into your company. With love forever xx |

Isaac Kennedy: I don't think post hardcore gets the credit it deserves as a really solid genre these days. There are so many emotions in this album, and honestly I would love for this to be the catalyst behind a real reemergence of one of my favourite genres. Great work on this from start to finish guys.
Ooc: Highly consistent as always and great lyrics throughout. Well done. |

Ooc: Highly consistent as always and great lyrics throughout. Well done. Koda: Ahhhh, I'm right with ya on that one Isaac! Post-Hardcore is very under-rated, but it's really cool to hear something that makes you feel all kinds of things and hopefully we've managed to do that at least a little on the record. Oh man, I certainly hope so, it'd be pretty ace if we helped re-ignite a movement of sorts. Thanks dude, appreciate the kind words! OOC: Thaaaanks! :) |

We owe you a million beers for agreeing to produce the record, you really helped mould the record into what we had always hoped it to be and it was great to have your experience in the studio! Hopefully we'll convince you to return to the recording booth for the next one! :) OOC: Thanks, I struggled with the descriptions but I put most of my effort into the lyrics! :) |
