lyrics

you led the way to off-white walls
and wooden floors and open doors
and birds and birds and birds
and all with dusty backs
among these books all leather-jacketed
but i could only find
in my own time
the way to arizona's yellow tent
afloat upon the lake

and i'm alone but in another way

i found a black bat tangled in a birch tree
if i'm a body you're a blanket on me
if i'm a forest you're the field at my feet
if i'm a corner that the dark backs into
you're the darkness that this corner clings to
if i'm a mountain with the moon above me
i, the mountain, choose the moon to envy

and there's a line in my palm
i know it's not very long
i know it's not what you want
but there's a light in the dark
and there'll be light
if i'm gone

Disco Inferno is the best synthwave-esque track I've ever heard, and that says a lot. bad-waffle

I cannot get enough of the chord progression at the end of the verses of 'It is Love' - it really does something to my soul. 'Wholesome' is the track I get stuck on repeat though. What an incredibly beautiful and sincere album ♥ Oögonium

living in memory of something sweet

His Young Heart EP
by Daughter

supported by 18 fans who also own “if i'm”

This is the first album I found that really spoke to me as a young fem. From the simplicity, the bass drum, specifically in landfill is so steady and soothing. I love landfill because it perfectly portrays trauma bonds, sexual or romantic relationships rooted in power imbalance. Being led on, unrequited love, constantly being clueless if someone is a real friend, or a lover. Are they yours or are they ruthlessly rogue. Untameable. Love and hate are such similar feelings, and they often mingle. clementinehatepageichangedmymind
