 The writing process for Fantasy Black Channel was largely unplanned . The verses of " Broken " were conceived late at night and are inspired by insomnia . It took Eastgate a long time to describe how he was feeling " in a way that sounded original " for such a common theme in pop music . The lyrics in the chorus are about the first time Late of the Pier drove to London and got lost . " Space and the Woods " tries to weigh up what is more important : a person or an inanimate object , or an absence of anything , while " The Bears Are Coming " concerns " a silent threat " . The idea for the lyric " A heartbeat , a flicker , a line " in " Heartbeat " came to Eastgate while recording the song and hearing its time signature always changing .
