San Diego’s Pierce the Veil dropped a new single earlier this month. The track, “Pass the Nirvana” is out via Fearless Records, and appears to be a stand-alone track, although the band does tease that “This is just the beginning, we can’t wait for you to hear what we’ve been working on.”
The band has this to say about the meaning of the track:
‘Pass the Nirvana’ is about the many horrible traumas that the youth of America have endured over the past few years,” says frontman Vic Fuentes about the song’s powerful, relatable, and topical subject matter. “COVID, no proms, no graduations, an insurrection, school shootings. The list goes on. Their lives have been tossed around like clothes in a dryer, as the tensions within our country have infiltrated our own homes, friends, and families. To me, the song represents a euphoric detachment from all of that anxiety and stress and about finding some form of peace or nirvana.
The single also comes along with a lyric video, so you get to sing along. Check it out below.
