lyrics

I can’t feel my face when I drink
But this time I don’t think the liquor is talking
I recall when we first met
You asked “how bad could it get?” but I don’t think I was listening

How would you like to feel, my darling?
Not like this

You take the sidewalk and I’ll walk the street
You take the sidewalk and I’ll walk the street

I wished that the airbag would swallow me whole
Or crush my bones to make them match my shattered soul
But it’s worth it a million times over, you’ll see
So I’ll take the fall and all will fall on me

How do you want things to be, my darling?
Not like this

You take the sidewalk and I’ll walk the street
You take the sidewalk and I’ll walk the street
I ran away but you followed behind me

You take the sidewalk and I’ll walk the street
You take the sidewalk and I’ll walk the street
I ran away but you followed behind me
I couldn’t stand to hear you say you’re sorry

How will you stay forever, my darling?
Just like this

The verse "Can't even buy a coffee without exploiting someone" got me. It really hits hard. For the entire length of the album it felt like the end of the world. But to be perfectly honest, it's just how life is these days. And it's fucked up. szczur

After the Magic
by Parannoul

supported by 8 fans who also own “Punching the Steering Wheel”

the powerful instrumentals contrasted against the soft unconfident vocals. like a deep yearning for affection but you dont know how to ask. like a love you feel slipping away but youre powerless to stop it. every time i start it i feel like i cant stop. a must have for my collection. skeletalsexing

No Joy
by Spanish Love Songs

supported by 8 fans who also own “Punching the Steering Wheel”

viscerally affected by covid, this album has a less optimistic but more accepting message than the previous. it reaches the heart of my experience (and others'?) in a cathartic and depressing acknowledgement. it's nice to know you feel the same niq
