50% of the band hate this song 50% of the time. Nevertheless, it shows very well which turn the theme of the album takes. Because this is a love song - a declaration of love to the self.
lyrics
your milky white complexion isn't all i need to see
your touch, your grip and sensation aren't what's making me feel free
you're not the wind that paints the most beautiful skies
you're not the one where my heart truly lies
still you're my muse, still i hold you dear
still i lay awake until mornings
'cause of a stupidly simple fear
always watching out for early warnings
i'm terribly afraid of losing you
holding on to every moment
touching you i barely dare
capturing every night we share
i'm utterly afraid of losing you
i take nothing you do for granted
still i know that you equally care
for me - hopefully
your starry liquid eyes are hard to overcome
your gaze, our conversations: frustratingly short, inspiringly long
your lips say my name, they're soft to the touch
everyone else differs from you so much
yet i learned to value
your presence lesser by now
you're an inspiring source to come back to
but sometimes i don't know how
i'm terribly afraid of losing myself
holding on to every shared moment
need others to maintain my mental health
however there's a different kind of wealth
i need to go and find myself
stop taking all i do for granted
hope that one day i equally care
for me - and everybody
Entirely analog, lush melodic pop with a tender heart from L.A. artist Human Barbie sounds bigger than the bedroom project it is. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 22, 2020
Thin Lear's sophisticated rock music is tempered with soaring chamber pop accents and an undeniable gift for melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 30, 2020
