Additional Information
This was Pacifiers first single to come off their album.
The song described by Jon: "This was about being in LA when the World Trade Center went down, the Pentagon got hit, 9/11 is happening and the whole world is fucking going crazy. The last place I wanted to be in the world was LA. I wanted to be home. I just wanted to get the fuck out but I couldn't. Planes weren't flying. I had an album to make. What the fuck was going on? I was extremely confused and extremely frightened and anxious to tell you the truth, as I'm sure a lot of people were at that point. Being in America, we didn't know what was going to happen next. I was just trying to get those thoughts out of my head. They were eating me up. I was, again, trying to get some sense of perspective on my anxiety. Like any song or piece of poetry or any writing, it's flicking from one scene to another, trying to figure out what everyone was thinking and how it affected me. It was awful, it was all over the place, but as a piece of music it seems to work pretty good." Rip It Up, Aug-Sep 2010.
“September 11. When something like that happens, the distance between you and your loved ones becomes really clear. I did need someone to comfort me at that time. That song sounds like a Harley Davidson to me. It’s got all the things about Pacifier that I love – a melody that's uplifting, ballsy riffs and a straight-ahead message.” - NZgirl.co.nz
Lyrics
Inside, I'm all twisted round Feeling uptight and I can't come down And I need someone to sell me I'm safe again And I need someone to tell me That they really care What have we become Could you comfort me, comfort me The whole world's come undone Could you comfort me, comfort me Back up, evolution here All the sick fucks, being born to kill They just need someone to sell them They're safe again They all need someone to tell them That somebody cares What have we become Could you comfort me, comfort me The whole world's come undone Could you comfort me, comfort me You're going to bring the world down Bring the whole world down What have we become Could you comfort me, comfort me The whole world's come undone Could you comfort me, comfort me What have we become Could you comfort me, comfort me The whole world's come undone Could you comfort me, comfort me
