Formed in 2011, FOSSIL YOUTH originally began as the single minded vision of founding member Scottie Noonan. Over the course of the next year, the band’s sound was reshaped, and eventually, FOSSIL YOUTH coalesced into the band it is today. With a newfound lineup and confidence, the band collaborated on new music with a renewed vigor, and began to hit the road in support of the material. FY has spent the last several years honing and perfecting their craft, and are poised to release a batch of new material that will stand on its own, and contend with the formidable musicality of their contemporaries in today’s emo/indie rock scene. Ultimately, FOSSIL YOUTH aims to deliver a perfect synthesis of their varied influences, while keeping a sense of youth and originality at the forefront of their refined approach.
“Intertwined With You” is about the point in one’s life where they must decide what is good for them and what must be changed. It’s also about the struggle and hardship involved with losing something someone once had so much faith in. We represented this in the song’s video with a boy who can’t sleep because of a girl and how he finds comfort and the ability to push forward by drawing her late at night. By the end of the video, you will notice we never introduced a girl. We did this to show addiction, something one may lightly experience within a serious relationship by overthinking and endlessly chasing something that cannot be attained. Although someone may think everything is absolutely beautiful, they must also consider the facade they may have created to protect themselves from being alone. That is what “Intertwined With You” represents.-Scottie Noonan (Singer/Guitarist)\
Lyrics:
Am I exactly where you thought I’d be
Alone in the dark all week
I’m not quite yet six feet deep but you love
the thought of kicking dirt down upon meYou are just like a broken compass
You lead me into all the worst situationsYou are what keeps me up at night
When all I want is peace of mind
I’ve read between the lines and only found a letdown
We’re always intertwinedI’m choking my spit has become acid
I feel uncomfortable in my own skinYou are just like a shattered mirror
You just bring me bad luckYou are what keeps me up at night
When all I want is peace of mind
I’ve read between the lines and only found a letdown
We’re always intertwined
