Late Sea


It was after scrolling through the news about another round of war between Israelis and Palestinians in Gaza that Gliksberg found inspiration for "Cover Up." Gliksberg shares, "I'm from the Middle East so I was used to seeing this kind of trauma on TV, but this time, I suddenly realized that we've been through this exact scenario many times before."

Gliksberg adds, growing increasingly weary of the constant strife, that the song at its core, is anti-war. "Growing up in Israel, I have seen, firsthand, that war is the definition of insanity. We keep expecting a different result, and nothing changes. It keeps happening, cyclically and seasonally this cold winter of humanity keeps coming back. War is not a solution. It won't solve your problems. In a bird's eye view, everyone will lose and nobody will win until we decide war itself is over."
Late Sea Share New Anti-War Protest Single 'Cover Up'
On the last day of summer I step outside and shed my skin
There’s a foreign halo kindling every grain of sand
All the people come undone, realize they lost their old names
Wander off to find their mothers womb

When spring arrives a poisoned wind blows through the sleepy town
I watch them draw the final lines
All the people will gather around, realize they need a new name
And chase their shadow back into the night

Cover up when the day is done,
If you've seen enough
The rivers roll into the ocean, but the ocean’s never full.

On the last day of winter fires blaze across the plains
if you don't want to be consumed you better hide your love away
And see them oiling godly guns to make sure no one sees the shame
and drown out all their doubts in pools of victory and blood

Cover up when the day is done,
If you've seen enough
The rivers roll into the ocean, but the ocean’s never full.
