Still Dark

where did it go
in the morning
it was still dark when I woke up
and left my bones
what a shit show
I’m in mourning
I’ll be on time this time I swear
you won’t even know
where it will go
in the morning
it’ll be dark when I wake up
and leave my bones
in the morning

In Time

my next door neighbors never turn of their TV
the news reports must run together endlessly
wonder if your mother ever wishes you weren't born
do away with brain cells every week like popping corn
again, again
in time, in time, in time
I see the sunspots every time I close my eyes
you pinch creation myths like seagulls eating fries
she's giving brain inside your head, it's all the same
chalk it up to history and choose a different name
again, again
in time, in time, in time

Pedestal
04:47
|

|
it looked like a cliff
from far away but she gets close and
changes her mind
you know these features are evasive creatures
strong in the mind
crack in the mirror, seven years of
tryna see clearer
self recognition in the ignition
take me
take me down
can I idolize you, idolize you
break me
break me down
can I idolize you, idolize your eyes
stringing me out
connected through glass and wires it’s a
pain in the mouth
successful liar with plenty of buyers
Try to stay clean
but all night there’s tiny footsteps
circling me
there’s fruit on the trees, fruit on the trees
take me
take me down
can I idolize you, idolize you
break me
break me down
can I idolize you, idolize your eyes

Half Light

from the dream
silent scream
there was no blood on the sheets
to remind me of your teeth
how did I get here
how do I speak and make sense at the same time
I’m rotting again
it’s sunny outside but I’m bathed in the wrong light
shiny things are formed
under pressure
(under pressure)
on and on, you know
what to do
sister doom
rules the room
in my body, things alive
when I die they’ll multiply
the water is bitter
if you had your way I would sleep for a long time
relief will be sweet
I’m the fly in the room that was drawn to the wrong light
shiny things are formed
under pressure
(under pressure)
on and on, you know
what to do
what to do, again (x3)
what to do

Behind My Bedroom Door
05:13
|

|
when I drown myself in the sea
I wash up on the shore endlessly
behind my bedroom door giant hands
they’ll tear it off the wall if they can
you are no longer on this plane
slithering backwards in my veins
hold your delusion to the bone
nobody’s coming to get me, I’m alone
I’m alone
found California trees far away
so high on the mountain we climbed for days
time is a patient friend but she never sleeps
when I went back again it was a dream
You are no longer on this plane
slithering backwards in my veins
hold your delusion to the bone
nobody’s coming to get me, I’m alone
I’m alone
when I drowned myself in the sea
I washed up on the shore endlessly
I am the sparrow you’re the line
nobody’s coming to get me, but I’m fine

Wear Me Down
03:00
|
|||
|
went back to my attic in the sun
tried to pull you up here
but your conscience weighs a ton
I don’t want to fall into the ocean
delusion and decisions getting closer and closer
On and on and on
I used to be a fish that loved to swim
the salt went through my skin
and it burned me from within
I don’t want to fall into the sea
the tide that pulled you under
is still crawling back to me
On and on and on

Joy and Paranoia
04:22
|
|||
|
sun, you are the one
who walked away
who walked away
and I, I can't deny
thought I was cursed
everyday
joy and paranoia
always asleep
never in bed
your light from underwater
where you held
down my head
cry all night
and scheme all day
why go nowhere
and drown in the bay
by light of night
and dark of day
I go nowhere
and die here in the bay

somewhere behind your inner eye you’re old
I’ll never dream of being cold again
I think the irony is lost on me
and probably my past selves would agree
It’d feel like shit to understand so I won’t
I had the moment in my hand but I choked
I could see it coming
and turned my head
I’ll never look you in the eye again
do you know where I’ve been
do you know where I’ve been
do you know where I’ve been
cuz I don’t
she’ll be waiting at the end
with my fingers at her feet
if I could hear you speak again
I wouldn’t sleep
I wouldn’t sleep
I wouldn’t sleep

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans
