Opposites Attract In Time
After the physical urgency of ‘July Surprise,’ ‘Opposites Attract in Time’ shifts the tempo back toward the waltz feel of the album’s opening, and the shift registers as breathing room rather than a slowdown. PCBender does what he does best here: building a song from the inside out, letting the groove do the heavy lifting while the lyrics stack paradox on paradox until the hook lands with real weight. The grounded minor-key setting gives the verses a controlled tension that the chorus releases cleanly, and the production stays spacious enough that you feel the rhythm section as much as hear it. ‘Not black and white, but every crack’ is the line that earns its keep, sharpening what could tip into cliche into something more honest about how contradiction works. In the context of an album that has been trading in exactly that kind of honesty all along, this track lands as a well-placed affirmation before the final act.
Lyrics
War and peace Profit and poverty Open and closed Slave and free Covert and overt Fear and trust Loud and still Ash and dust
They don’t collide, they intertwine- Into the outer- Opposites attract in time
Love and hate Push and pull Tender and sharp Empty and full Sun and shadow Rise and fall Silk and iron Nothing and all
They twist, they tangle, never match- Into the outer- Opposites attract in time
Truth and lies High and low Fast and slow Yes and no Order and chaos Knife and thread Breath and silence Living and dead
Not black and white, but every crack- Into the outer- Opposites attract in time
Sacred and broken Flesh and flame Known and nameless Pride and shame Stone and water Grace and lack What pulls apart Still circles back
The tether holds, the lines collapse- Into the outer- Opposites attract in time
Into the outer Opposites attract in time
