Karen from the band says: “’Out of My Hands’ was inspired by a man I met in a pub, the night of the Home Sweet Home / Occupy Nama demonstration. He was completely cynical towards activism. I tried to get inside his head, that mistrust and negativity on the refugee crisis, homelessness in Ireland, and the Repeal the 8th movement..”

The lyrics explicitly address this incident:

"She wouldn’t give it a break, crying inequality
Oh the 8th and the state, she’s never happy
Then she said I had ‘no empathy’ towards those refugees
I said that I just can’t see them as a priority"

Wyvern Lingo have also announced that they will play their first Dublin show of the new year on Friday 23rd February at Number Twenty Two on South Anne Street.
