Rose Colored Glasses

Seems like you’re back upon your own legs
Seems like you’re finding your own voice
I used to hear it every morning
But now we finally have a choice
Some days I wanted peace and quiet
Some days I want a violent song
Some days it’s easier to forget
All of the days we got it wrong
And maybe we’re crazy for letting it end
Maybe we were for letting it start
But it’s been a path to a bigger heart
So give me those rose-colored glasses
I will remember this any way that I wish
Rose-colored glasses
Let me swim out of this separate heaviness
I know I could pick it all apart
And I’m sure that you could too
So give me those rose-colored glasses
When I look back at me and you
Oooh, when I look back at me and you
So many things have turned out different
Than we predicted that they would
You’re looking stronger from a distance
I’m redefining what is good
I’m redefining what is good
I’m redefining what is good
So give me those rose-colored glasses
I will remember this any way that I wish
Rose-colored glasses
Let me swim out of this separate heaviness
I know I could pick it all apart
And I’m sure that you could too
So give me those rose-colored glasses
When I look back at me and you
Oooh, when I look back at me and you
The headlight’s reflection changes perspective
Show me the water but not what’s beneath it
Memories painted with our defenses
All open spaces will somehow find fences
And we would be crazy to start it again
Or maybe we were for falling apart
But it’s been a path to a bigger heart
So give me those rose-colored glasses
I will remember this any way that I wish
Rose-colored glasses
Let me swim out of this separate heaviness
I know I could pick it all apart
And I’m sure that you could too
So give me those rose-colored glasses
When I look back at me and you
Oooh, when I look back at me and you
Ooh, when I look back at me and you

Get Lost

Why you sleeping in a graveyard?
Did you like the way it felt?
I’ve been showing all of my cards
When you hoped that I wouldn’t tell
And it goes one, two, three
They pray for me
I am working to get free
I eat my apologies
‘Cause I do not fit
I am too big
The room is too small
And I am getting through with these walls
Blew off the lid
Marry the cost
‘Cause all I wanna do is get lost, ooh ooh
Lost, ooh ooh
All I wanna do is get lost, ooh ooh
Lost, ooh ooh
All I wanna do is get lost
Why you so afraid of pleasure?
Did you hope to die on a hill?
You’ve been keeping up a ledger
That you wrote while standing still
And it goes four, five, six
I’m getting high
You’re still trying to get by
Well, I’m not sorry for my size
‘Cause I do not fit
I am too big
The room is too small
And I am getting through with these walls
Blew off the lid
Marry the cost
‘Cause all I wanna do is get lost, ooh ooh
Lost, ooh ooh
All I wanna do is get lost
Until I’m caught in the unknown
Don’t have to decide
I can make a lot of places home
I built it inside
You will never know until you try
I’ll get why you just hug the corner of your eye
‘Cause I do not fit
I am too big
The room is too small
And I am getting through with these walls
Blew off the lid
Marry the cost
‘Cause all I wanna do is get lost, ooh ooh
Lost, ooh ooh
All I wanna do is get lost, ooh ooh
Lost, ooh ooh
All I wanna do is get lost

Won't Stop Yet
03:11

I’m losing my attention while the whole world dies
Been scrolling through addictions with no appetite
Don’t really wanna mention it
How are you? I am fine
A little tired of living but I don’t want to die
In another lockdown
Stuck inside this shit town
I can’t find a way ‘round
My intrusive thoughts now
My therapist thinks
I should get a hobby
Maybe if you call me
I could do my best to pick up
‘Cause I got one more hour
I got one more step
Might not make it further
But I won’t stop yet
No, I won’t go covered
Under my regret
Might not make it further
But I won’t stop yet
Been standing in the kitchen staring at the fridge
And practicing division trying to pay the rent
It’s such a tough decision if I should lie or sit
I’ll take up meditation, then decide to quite
When I get hungry
Burning out at lightspeed
If somebody finds me
Please excuse the house is a mess
‘Cause I got one more hour
I got one more step
Might not make it further
But I won’t stop yet
No, I won’t go covered
Under my regret
Might not make it further
But I won’t stop yet
I won’t stop yet
I’m buried down under the table
I won’t stop yet
I’ve never been this tired before
I won’t stop yet
I’m carrying as much as I’m able
I won’t stop yet
I hope that I can go a little more
‘Cause I got one more hour
I got one more step
Might not make it further
But I won’t stop yet
No, I won’t go covered
Under my regret
Might not make it further
But I won’t stop yet

Addict of It All

I want to place you on my tongue
I want to watch you come undone
Wrap around every sound
Move me
Shadows dancing on the walls
Can we make the room dissolve?
Nothing left but heavy breath
Move me
I just want to feel until I feel nothing
I just want to heal from becoming something
I am now an addict of all of that magic
And I can’t give it up, up, up
I just want to feel until I feel nothing
I just want to scream until I stop breathing
I am now an addict of everything magic
And I can’t give it up, up, up
I’m an addict of it all
Yeah, I’m an addict of it all
Just gonna live to break my fall
I’m an addict of it all
I took a couple tabs too many
And I woke up in infinity
Everything became the same
Move me
I just wanna lose my mind
I don’t wanna get lost in time
Laugh or cry
Live or die
Move me
I just want to feel until I feel nothing
I just want to heal from becoming something
I am now an addict of all of that magic
And I can’t give it up, up, up
I just want to feel until I feel nothing
I just want to scream until I stop breathing
I am now an addict of everything magic
And I can’t give it up, up, up
Yeah, I’m an addict of it all
Yeah, I’m an addict of it all
Just gonna live to break my fall
I’m an addict of it all, all, all
I’m an addict of it all
I’m an addict of it all
Just gonna live to break my fall
Yeah, I’m an addict of it all, all, all
I’m an addict of it all
I’m an addict of it all
Just gonna live to break my fall
Yeah, I’m an addict of it all, all, all
I’m an addict of it all
Yeah, I’m an addict of it all
Just gonna live to break my fall
I’m an addict of it all, all, all
I’m an addict of it all
Yeah, I’m an addict of it all
Just gonna live to break my fall
Yeah, I’m an addict of it all, all, all
I’m an addict of it all
Yeah, I’m an addict of it all
Just gonna live to break my fall
Yeah, I’m an addict of it all, all, all, all, all

Sorry Baby

I don’t know, I don’t know
How to get out of this
I have been locked in my head
And everyone, everyone’s
Got their own opinions
I have been buried in them
I can be kind if kindness is called for
I can tear my heart for you
I can be nice if niceness is needed
I can swallow up the blues
But I ain’t gonna say sorry, baby
There is a time and it isn’t now
Sorry, baby
I’m doing fine and you’re not allowed in my head
I’m doing fine and you’re not allowed in my head
I’m doing fine and you’re not allowed
I can be, I can be
Anything I want to be
I don’t really need your two cents
So stay with me, quietly
Pointing out all that I need
But leave me without taking offense
I can be soft if someone is hurting
I can give my heart away
I can be strong if courage is waning
I can choose the words that I say
And I ain’t gonna say sorry, baby
There is a time and it isn’t now
Sorry, baby
I’m doing fine and you’re not allowed in my head
I’m doing fine and you’re not allowed in my head
I’m doing fine and you’re not allowed in my head
(I’m making my way back home)
Let it go, cause I’m gonna listen to my heartbeat
(I’m making my way back home)
Let it go, cause I’m gonna cut it with my own teeth, baby
(I’m making my way back home)
Let it go, let it go ‘cause I’m gonna fall and scrape my own knees
(I’m making my way back home)
Let it go, let it go
It’s a lot, it’s a lot
Working out what I am not
Anyone I know would get lost
But there’s a sea, there’s a sea
Changing tides inside of me
If you stay, you’re bound to get caught
And I ain’t gonna say sorry, baby
There is a time and it is not now
Sorry, baby
I’m doing fine and you’re not allowed in my head
I’m doing fine and you’re not allowed in my head
I’m doing fine and you’re not allowed in my head

I cannot find a place to rent
You can’t afford an accident
The dreams of our tomorrows under ashes of today
They had to move the beach house back
My parents still won’t cut me slack
A carousel of violence
A twitter call for change
Was there always something in my eye?
A trauma bond is easily won tonight
But we found love at the end of the world
And I don’t think I feel guilty for feeling something at all
When there is nothing but clutching at pearls
In the ruins of this city
I welcome love at the end of the world
I’m sorry that I still want kids
Don’t wanna know what Johnny did
The evil of two lessers
Ten hours on my phone
Vacation homes in outer space
The finish line of the human race
Depression, sex, and uppers
New ways to be alone
Baby, is that something in your eye?
Can’t you help with turning off the lights?
Cause we found love at the end of the world
And I don’t think I feel guilty for feeling something at all
When there is nothing but clutching at pearls
In the ruins of this city
I welcome love at the end of the world
Is it okay to feel this happy beneath the shadow of the wave?
I got to heaven when you kiss me and give the hell a brief escape
But we found love at the end of the world
And I don’t think I feel guilty for feeling something at all
When there is nothing but clutching at pearls
In the ruins of this city
I welcome love at the end of the world
Love at the end of the world
At the end of the world
At the end of the world
Embracing love at the end of the world
Love at the end of the world
At the end of the world
At the end of the world
Come be my love at the end of the world

Surface Tension

this album is so so so beautiful and i have been listening on repeat, the parallels between "no angels" and "smile" are amazing and every instrumental section is incredible

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche.

I just started listening to this album today and am IN LOVE! Every track is perfect. I'm slightly sad I didn't start listening to boygenius until but happy to be a fan of their music <3
go to album
Sparkling synthpop with an emphasis on high-wattage chords and the kind of melodies that burrow themselves deep in the brain.
go to album
Wildly uncategorizable music from Cardiff full of fat synths, blissful vocal harmonies and hard-hitting beats.
go to album
Get groovy with the new one from Orions Belte, an album bursting with lithe basslines and hooky melodies.

You know, it wasn't my favorite for a while, but for some reason i decided to listen to it on loop a few weeks ago and now I can't stop thinking about it. I love the synths, the tone, the lyricism, even the music videos which I feel I should mention!!! (also, should've been me reminds me a bit of abba which is an automatic bonus in my book)
