Your view was an understatement
You’re just a kid in a family basement
Dirty tricks up your clean white sleeves
30 years till you knew what color you’d bleed
And didn’t know what to do
You don’t
I didn’t know what to do
You don’t
You look like you’re feeling clever
Innate cover up behavior
Run fast from the small detail
And move past the ones that make you feel
I know you think it’s insane
You’re ok with everything
You’re lying and nothing about you is safe
It’s hard to say when you’re not
It’s ok we’ve all been caught crying
It’s ok to be up front
For sure you didn’t know my story
Self repair is mostly boring
Something’s wrong and I want to fight
30 years and now I know I wasn’t right
And didn’t know what to do
You don’t
I didn’t know what to do
You don’t
I know you think it’s insane
You’re ok with everything
You’re lying and nothing about you is safe
It’s hard to say when you’re not
It’s ok we’ve all been caught crying
It’s ok to be up front
But hey why so mad?
If you say these things to me, that’s fine
But the rest of them, they’ll take you alive if they want
You don’t understand
You don’t know not anything
And I’ve loved more than you have breathed
And you can’t quantify a single thing
I know you think it’s insane
You’re ok with everything
You’re lying and nothing about you is safe
It’s hard to say when you’re not
It’s ok we’ve all been caught crying
It’s ok to be up front
It’s ok we’ve all been caught
Ok to be upfront
Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!) Mikey
Effervescent pop without a drop of irony, perfectly geared for fans of the more dance-oriented side of indie music and Tears for Fears. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 2, 2023
If you've ever had to Google clumsy phrases to find a word that matched a feeling you could only feebly describe, and you ended up discovering words like hiraeth, sehnsucht, or saudade, The Million Masks of God may be an excellent companion soundtrack to your experience. joel
