Blurry

Fascinated by interactions
With all the other human beings that i don’t understand
I will try to find a way to get a point across while you hold on too tight to your guts (and) think twice about not letting the words out
leaving it where it all started
Dropping the hints as i’m consuming
Secrets unfold for another reason
Than finding ways to stay connected
You turn to me just when you need it
I'd swirl around until i’m needed
Pretended to swim when i was drowning
I closed my eyes for a good reason
Do you think you’re ready for half of this
I showed you thousands of blurry pictures
And i know that you can’t tell by the end of it
But you just never had what it takes

Nature kids they talk so loud
I don’t understand what they mean
I’ve got time it’s nothing to me
Sun comes up when you’re around
Superstitious when we walk and I don’t wanna talk about it
Nature kid talks too much
Doesn’t know what he wants tough luck
You’re running out of breath that’s rough
Crime is never complete give up
You let me catch up
I’m talking too much

I forget the words you said
But there was something in your tone of voice
that made me second guess
The whole thought process
Were you waiting for me? I find that hard to believe.
Maybe a rainy day coffee would make me disagree
And I want to disagree
Checked out, gotta step down, try not to talk so loud
I wait around, cause I’ve got nowhere to be
The changing colour of leaves
But until the rain dies down
I’ve got it figured out
You call me up just to talk to me
And there’s no hesitation in your speech
You call me up to tell me about your week
You call me up just to talk to me
Am I wasting your time?

Heat Wave
04:01
|
|||
|
Being in your apartment feels wrong
But you don’t mind
And who cares if we steal
We can just fade out until next year
Your neighbourhood’s out of breath
Don’t wanna end up like that
And I don’t wanna walk past your apartment cause
Cause you’re acting strange in this heat wave
Tired from the work day
History’s boring to me
but I’ve got records to keep
With this calendar concrete
Biking home I wonder why
You say you’re working class when it feels right
Found a smaller pond
Left the kitchen light on
Your apartment feels wrong
I smoke slowly when I can
Don’t wanna end up like that

Mall Song
03:40
|
|||
|
Put it in my head, make me innocent
It doesn’t matter at all
Baby’s got thousands of problems
Have you been rolling a lot
A dollar’s not worth the shot
It makes it harder to get
Baby’s got me in the bed
But I can’t keep promising
I proved that I got nothing
Have you been waiting a lot
Fall out from the bomb
Pick and choose a mall
Chuckle all you want
Who has dismembered us all

Letters
03:02
|

|
You say you’re way too weak to leave this place
I say it’s simplicity by the square
This cloud’s been over our heads since our breakthrough
It’s been three months I’m asking myself where to go to
I’ve looked around for it
A piece of history that could be transcribed in gold characters
In gigantic letters
It’s either the writing's too small to enjoy its content
Or the message is gone
I can’t read anything
It should be black or white but it’s blank all the way now
All the letters are gone, all the letters are gone
I should stop thinking about it
All the letters are gone, all the letters are gone

Carefully
03:34
|
|||
|
Last night I dreamt so carefully
I almost fell back asleep at sea
Snuck back into my apartment quietly
Past rivers branching back and forth
Have you heard the paper birds laughing?
They don’t need a reaction
And I never say anything at all
You woke up with the same mouth
Saying that you’re best at
Often changing your mind
You stutter but don’t answer
Keep secrets like treasures
Hiding like a banker
You go out of your way to stay the same

Flashing
01:37
|
|||
|
Why d’you think it started such a long time ago
it’s still fresh in our minds
Like it was yesterday’s job
To keep it there for us to remind ourselves
Of how devastated we should be
Instead we’re numb to the bones
Afraid that someone will know
Cause it’s easy to say it should have been better in the end
But in the moment
We gave it all we’ve got
|

Symmetry
03:52
|
|||
|
I’m just awake in your bed
Thinking about last year I should have said
that you’re always looking back
that’s what symmetry lacks
and it’s lost behind your eyelids you know
I forgot how to make the call
And called off how to make it right
For some reason I’ve been wrong
Smashed my head against the wall
Wrote a message for myself
Saying stories never tell
Wrote a page and lit a match just to show you
|

Trips and Falls
03:46
|
|||
|
I’m coming down for a couple months
And everyone’s here to stay where they belong
I belong in my house
I wish I’d ask about your friends and the things they like
And make you laugh, it’s not so hard
I do it all the time with buds I know
I think of all the times I couldn’t say a word, a phrase, I’d remain afraid
It feels fine in the spotlight for a second
off the record when the void swallows right open
Rest your head will you still can, launch a plane and watch it fall down
Let me guess, that was it, just a trick nothing more than you’d expect from me

My top release of 2020 by far. Such a good record from top to bottom. Not a single dud on here.

Just inspiring combination of emo-jazz in its purest form. Lyrically it goes over interesting ideas of multiculturalism, parental issues and generational trauma in some of the best ways I've heard in a while. All of the instrumental sections are just beautiful and both singers are outstanding. My favorite moments are probably the almost-yelling section halfway through "I'm From Here" and the horn sections on "Quirk".
