I really like you
but you should go away
It's all lies and accusations,
propaganda on display.
There is no amount of disinfectant
to keep the germs at bay,
and if they want to see blood,
then blood will flow today.
THIS IS GOING TO GET UGLY.

I'm Losing You
04:37
|
|||
|
When I said that I was angry
you heard that I don't love you anymore.
We're just talking past each other these days,
looking at each other but talking to ourselves.
I feel like I'm losing you
and there's nothing either one of us can do.
We've been set in motion
and we have to see it through.
I feel like I'll die alone to make a point
I can see what I'm doing
but despite it all, I spite my face
and I'll cut it up,
I'll cut it up, piece by piece.
I feel like I'm losing you
and I just want to know if it was true--
the image in my head of us,
what I believed of you.

I'm Sorry, Kani

I'm sorry, Kani,
I'm not the man you need.
You want to believe in goodness,
in selflessness,
in sacrifice
Have you received your answer?
I hope you receive your answer.
I hope you receive.

You look like ants from here
you look like ants from here
Searching for food,
scurrying like mad when a comrade is squished under thumb,
driven by some unspoken force
to protect and feed your queen.
You look like ants from here
you look like ants from here
and when you come across a carcass
you will swarm
you will pour through every crevice
until nothing useful
nothing useful is left.

On the apology tour,
they always say
"Going forward--"
as if we do not perceive
time in a linear fashion,
as if we could literally
live in the past
Time slows and shrinks
to a point.

My Future Ghost
03:08
|
|||
|
If time is a human idea,
is space and light that we structure,
and ghosts exist outside of time
where there is no past and is no future
where all is now,
can I talk to my future ghost?
When I get outside of time,
can I find myself existing in that structure
and tell myself
how I'm fucking things up
and how I will continue?
I can ask myself how to be happy
and what it's like in the eternal now.
How's the view from up there?
What's it look like from up there?

Life Support on Fire
02:01

The breathing tube engulfed in flames
The feeding tube pumps liquid metal
Our veins are filled with toxic fumes
The body dies
The future fucked and we're in hell
Pull the plug.

State of the Union
05:30
|

|
We are held together
with tinfoil and duct tape.
The bonds between us are frayed,
snapped, epoxied.
Our best intentions hang limp
by a length of coat hanger.
The air we breathe is radon and mold
and carbon monoxide.
This house is crumbling to dust,
we straighten the rug and light a candle
and make the front room tidy
and decorate the mantel
while the roof explodes
and the basement floods
and the attic is on fire.
Our house is on fire,
gonna wait it out,
gonna sit right here
in the living room,
gonna wait it out.
Things just have to get better.

Mel is seriously talented and makes challenging but fun music. This is probably my favorite of her works so far.

I've loved working with Rrrrrose, and I love so much of her music. It's hard to pick one album from the massive catalog, but this one made a big impression on me.

Kukkia · EP

Gentle, whispered Finnish vocals over beautifully-just-out-of-tune arrangements. It's like a wonderfully comforting dream.
