lyrics

Break the spell
I want this shit out
I requested it
But that was then and this is now
These glasses are poison
They're not even colored like rose
I'd say they were more of a gray
Or an ash I suppose

Every time I
Think it's all passing by me
It takes every
Damn fiber of my being
To not go after it
With the very same gusto
That got me in this mess to begin with
You know how I do with bravado

Break the spell that I put on myself
Break the spell that I put on myself
Break the spell that I put on myself
If you can't help me do it, then well--

That's it, I'm taking these glasses off
I think they're making me go soft
I can't see anything for what it really is
And that was never my intention

We have come
Through all the light years
Through the fog and mire
Of history's grinding gears
And somehow we have all
Basically remained the same
And somehow we are all right now
Basically the same

It's completely random
Which things we surround ourselves with
We do not pick a path
We just end up with one, and the one size fits
But I have been under
A spell for so long
I'm starting to think that everyone was right
And that I have been wrong

Now I see I've been wrong all along
Now I see I've been wrong all along
Oh break this spell that I've been carrying around for so long
What the hell, where did this goddamn thing even come from?

Oh, that's it, I'm taking these glasses off
I think they're making me go soft
I can't see anything for what it really is
And that was never my intention

Un Día
by Juana Molina

Juana Molina is a mastermind at crafting bizarre, brilliant music that feels truly of its own world. And yet, you dance. Favorite track: Un Día. LIT. MAJOR

Personality Therapy
by CLOSENESS

Being a huge Orenda Fink/O+S/Art in Manila fan (phew!) of course I was stoked to hear Orenda had a new project, this time with her husband Todd. It's fun & weird; unlike anything else she's done yet. LIT. MAJOR
