lyrics

Maybe you can hold my hand, just a little while
so i can rest my tired bones and ease my wandering heart

But i need you to hear me,
for the meaning I intend not the things you wish i'd said

I know you want more from me, but i have spoken how i feel
my mind and body love to play with yours, but my soul remains my own

Did i say too much, did i say too little
now we are stuck somewhere in the middle
did i say to much, did i say too little
now we are stuck somewhere in the middle

i don’t know where i go
no i don’t know where i go
i don’t know where i go
i don’t know where i go from here

She asked, where does it hurt,
it’s those left ribs right under my shirt
Didn’t think it’d be this hard, at least not this part, i think i might be no good at this

i dance it all away for now, in this unfamiliar crowd
no swiping faces, or first dates stresses
the lack of you just ain’t on my mind when the music’s this loud

Did i say too much, did i say too little
now we are stuck somewhere in the middle
did i say to much, did i say too little
now we are stuck somewhere in the middle

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
