is a synth-pop track by the Canadian duo Electric Youth , originally appearing as a bonus track on their 2014 debut album Innerworld . The song gained significant recognition after being reworked by director and musician Anthony Scott Burns (under his alias Pilotpriest ) for his 2021 sci-fi horror film, Come True . Lyrical Meaning and Themes
: The central chorus— "Oh, you might shed some tears / But these modern fears / Won't hold you down" —serves as an anthem of endurance, suggesting that while modern anxieties are pervasive, they are ultimately temporary.
: In the Pilotpriest "Come True Version," the lyrics take on a darker, more visceral meaning related to the film’s themes of sleep paralysis, nightmares, and the blurred lines between reality and dreams. Musical Collaboration
: The music was developed before the script was even finished, making it a foundational part of the film's "DNA".
