"Afterlife, I remembered a summer's night night driving up to the hills outside the city. Parts of the forest had recently burnt out from grass fires, a full moon illuminated blackened trees. Small bush wallabies hopped around the edges of Springhill Road, confused and dehydrated. I could feel the suspension on the Suzuki coming apart with every pothole we hit. Life never felt so fragile, so precious. A few weeks later I recorded the vocals, the scent of burning gum trees drifting through the studio. I Don't Belong Here came from a dream that somehow I managed to remember, a dream where I was reading tarot cards with symbols and designs that don't exist. The strangeness of it stuck with me and transformed into this song, a kind of mission statement about reality's intrinsic unreality..."
