about

So this one started as me just writing a song on acoustic, as I always do, but deciding to mix up the arrangement once I recorded it proper. So I can up with the weird rhythm on the guitar, and eventually I had the idea to big muff the shit out of everything. Lyrically, it's about moar gurl pr0blemz, because of course it is. I tried a few times to record a proper solo, gave up, and recorded the weird thing you hear now.

lyrics

Verse 1:
I had to write her down
Before it got to me
Heartbroken in the heart
Of Nashville, Tenessee (Oh, baby)

Replay her pretty voice
Gets fainter by the day
I may as well
Live in the hallway

Chorus:
And so I'll think today
of things that I won't say
I'm soaking wet
And ready to detonate

*break*

Verse 2:
Where is the stupid high?
And where do plateaus go?
A whole week
With a stain glass ghost (oh oh, oh oh oh)

Blips from the submarine
We're going under
I've never
Heard that one before

Chorus:
And so I'll think today
of things that I won't say
I'm soaking wet
And ready to detonate

And so I'll dream today
Those things I'll never say
Still soaking wet
And ready to detonate

Bridge:
Deja vu, where do they keep coming from?
Siamese problems, I've done this more than once

I wish I'd learn
I wish I'd learn
I wish I'd learn

I wish I'd learn
I wish I'd learn
I wish I'd learn

*solo*

Chorus:
And so I'll think today
of things that I won't say
I'm soaking wet
And ready to detonate

And so I'll dream today
Those things I'll never say
Still soaking wet
And ready to detonate
