about

The protagonist in “Eleventh Hour” is shocked that his one-time girlfriend seems perfectly capable of shrugging off the history between them as if something didn’t actually happen “And all the evidence is thrown into the fire - I respond quickly to retrieve”. The lead guitar riffs are largely inspired by early Pearl Jam riffs as heard on songs like “Breathe.” The opening lyric of the song implies that our protagonist knowingly got himself into something that he knew was likely to end unfavorably. Another favorite lyric in this one is in the first chorus: “The coldness penetrates my skin… and burns into my pride.” Anyone who has been burned by the cold (Red Hot Chili Peppers lyric anyone?) knows the feeling. This song was originally recorded on a four-track demo which was used to book early Banter gigs.

lyrics

I know I said I'd take this burden
But now it's starting to break my back
And you know I'm feeling quite deserted
As I lay miles from the tracks

And all those promises are thrown into the wind
The coldness penetrates my skin
And stings down deep inside and burns into my pride
'Til the wind blows back to me again

I thought I'd left behind these feelings
But they're all finding their way back
And all these painful blows you're dealing
Can't hide the underlying fact

And all the evidence is thrown into the fire
I respond quickly to retrieve
In paranoia that your two minds will conspire
To deny all you made me believe

And now in the eleventh hour
You turn your back and walk away
And all the sweetness that's turned sour
Will never see another day

And all these memories I retrieve from time to time
Are long forgotten in your mind
Played back as fantasies where you're forever mine
Reminders of a better time
