This song contains the most beautifully sung iteration of the word idiosyncratic of all-time. I guarantee it. Just wait.
“Believe me this time, when I say I’m, having a little trouble caring ’bout a lot of things right now, things right now, can see you just fine, from the sidelines, you break me like a habit, with your idiosyncratic mind, took it a little too far this time”
Overall, this song is a super-synthy/super-moody soundfest. I do love that steady guitar leading us through the beginning of the song. The melodies she plays with are also super interesting to me at various places throughout the song.

It’s like we’re walking through knee high molasses suddenly. I’m here for it. We’ve all gotten bogged down with something in our life right? Where things really do feel stuck like that? Work, relationship, money, kids, parents, all that, right? All those situations have a part of the spectrum that is this song I think.
“In my apocalyptic dream, you’re 20 feet ahead of me, I’m sitting in the drivers seat, it’s time that you admit defeat, I don’t know what came over me, you’re floating in sea of teeth, the crowds applauding endlessly, it all goes wrong at seventeen”
That “having trouble thinking ’bout a lot of things right now” that I highlighted above is such a great descriptor of what our gas tank being empty feels like. Your wiped out. Your brain has 100 tabs open. I’ve started keeping track of the things I can do that help close those tabs. Whether I’m just X’ing out and saying “fuck it” or actually dealing with whatever is in the tab being the two options of closing.
It’s ok to say “fuck it” sometimes. Sometimes we need to take a seat on the sidelines. We can see you just fine from here, thanks!
Thanks for reading you dynamite example of a person you! Enjoy.
everything, etc.
