lyrics
I'm alive but i am living in a movie
far and high, even the drugs won't help me
No wonder why, I've given up reality
this world is mental, don't wanna be part of it
So I close my eyes, now i believe what i see
my paradise, I am living in a movie
No compromise, i can go where i want to
i'm sick of lies, apocalyptic figure disguised
I don't mind if i'm acting weird it's the only way to be
I don't get people and don't get me and I
feel like i'm alone and way too stubborn and I
I just wanna ride on the ocean tide and buy a piece of sky
I'm alright, but i've been living in a movie
someday i will have to wake from this dream
I'm simplified, in this microcosm of mine
I'm between the lines..
I don't mind if i'm acting weird it's the only way to be
I don't get people and don't get me and I
feel like i'm alone and way too stubborn and I
I just wanna ride on the ocean tide
I don't mind if i'm acting weird it's the only way to be
I don't get people and don't get me and I
I don't mind...

Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst

This is the first album I found that really spoke to me as a young fem.
From the simplicity, the bass drum, specifically in landfill is so steady and soothing. I love landfill because it perfectly portrays trauma bonds, sexual or romantic relationships rooted in power imbalance. Being led on, unrequited love, constantly being clueless if someone is a real friend, or a lover. Are they yours or are they ruthlessly rogue. Untameable. Love and hate are such similar feelings, and they often mingle. clementinehatepageichangedmymind
