Burnt Out
"You're right, I couldn't fix you.
You're right, I shouldn't have tried to.
Your pride is what you're concerned about.
Is 'You're right' really all you wanna hear right now?"
You're right, I shouldn't have tried to.
Your pride is what you're concerned about.
Is 'You're right' really all you wanna hear right now?"
perfectly describes being in a controlling relationship. the above video truly captures how the narrative of I Believe in Unicorns fits this song so well. Sterling is the exact kind of person this song is about.
Black Box Warning
"I'm the star that never aligned,
The thing you know you have
But can't seem to find
And I'm
The call you've been dreading all week,
The chore you always end up procrastinating.
I'm the bite you can't stomach so you spit it out,
The girl you're kind of embarrassed to tell your friends about
The potential that you can't apply and
The faith you lost in God and your parents.
Beware, I'm a dead end, Keep out, Don't be a hero,
Turn back now.
I'm a boa constrictor,
A bitch,
And I'm bitter,
I'm quicksand,
And I'm a quitter."

this song lives in my skin. it's winking at self-deprecation in a way i love so much

"You were supposed to protect me
but you didn't.
And I know I'm grown now but
I'm still your kid
and I miss you every second
of every minute
of every hour
of every day."
but you didn't.
And I know I'm grown now but
I'm still your kid
and I miss you every second
of every minute
of every hour
of every day."
Written about going no-contact with her dad, this song resonates with me even though I didn't have the choice, nor did I have a good relationship with my father.
Phantom Pain
"It felt so good to be wanted,
I convinced myself love must be pain."
I convinced myself love must be pain."
i love the southern influence in this song. the vocals and harmonization screams Tennessee.
"And right when I think I'm finally fine,
The scars have all faded,
It's been enough time
That's when it sinks back in...
The invisible,
And incurable,
The impossible,
Irreversible,
Pins-and-needles
Thousand-cuts
life-changing
Phantom pain of
Losing a limb.
The scars have all faded,
It's been enough time
That's when it sinks back in...
The invisible,
And incurable,
The impossible,
Irreversible,
Pins-and-needles
Thousand-cuts
life-changing
Phantom pain of
Losing a limb.
