about
"Both teenage dysphoria and reluctant ascent into the chaos of my mid-twenties meet each other in this track. I looked back on the suffocating boredom and the pain of being 16, and how I longed for the simplicity of human closeness and car journeys. I wanted to channel a zeitgeist that we all feel in touch with, pain, trauma and cacophonous emotion; summarised in the mundanity of a service station."
lyrics
We can fetch your suitcase
Your mother’ll throw it in with mine
She can scream her throat raw
You get immune to it with time
And if you don’t suit anything
We’ll throw the lot of it, just fine
If we hit the services
I’ve got some money I can lend
If we hit the services
There’s not a penny you can’t spend
And if we eat up everything
We’ll speed our asses round that bend
What if we’re alone?
What will you do then?
A flash and then you’re gone
Cracked the windscreen with your legs
I couldn’t read the markings
But I never knew what they meant
That’s where my miracle ends
We can scale the country
I bet you’d never live that down
I made plans in a hurry
And you listened
But you tried to talk me out of them
With some means to an end
And I was dancing in the left lane
When you whacked me
With your diamond studded argument
Listen
What if we’re alone?
What will you do then?
A flash and then you’re gone
Cracked the windscreen with your legs
I couldn’t read the markings
But I never knew what they meant
That’s where my miracle ends
What if we're alone?
What will you do then?
A flash and then you're gone
Cracked the windscreen with your legs
Will you stroke me til I sleep
Or bludgeon me to death?
I couldn't read the markings
But I never knew what they meant
That’s where my miracle ends

This song ticks all the boxes for me. Guitar sounds, vocals, song structure. I can't put my finger on any one factor, it all works together to make a really great song. malfunction54
I feel like I could have written this song while with my ex. It is so bitingly truthful, holding back none of the bitter reality of feelings that a toxic relationship establishes. The build up of vocalization is spitting, heartwrenching and really brings the lyrics to their fullest emotional potential.
Can’t describe how much I love the juxtaposition of extremes recurring throughout this album, both lyrically and thematically. izze32
