first bloom

spend a year in bed
you don’t seem to care
if everything you did
all just disappeared
another year in your head
whisper to yourself under your breath
would they even notice if you wound up dead
before you go
bake sure that you leave a note
do you believe in ghosts?
well you never know
feel so alone
blood all over the snow
grow up without me
never let me go
det är nästan så man skulle trott att du aldrig ens har brytt dig
(ibland så glömmer jag att andas)
det är nästan så man skulle trott att du aldrig ens har brytt dig
(och det gör så jävla ont i käken)
det är nästan så man skulle trott att du aldrig ens har brytt dig
(jag viskar halv medvetet)
det är nästan så man skulle trott att du aldrig ens har brytt dig
(att jag önskar att jag aldrig ens fanns)
det är nästan så man skulle trott att du aldrig ens har brytt dig
(ibland så ligger jag på sängen)
det är nästan så man skulle trott att du aldrig ens har brytt dig
(och tänker på att klippa mitt hår)
det är nästan så man skulle trott att du aldrig ens har brytt dig
(fruktar att behöva vara ärlig)
det är nästan så man skulle trott att du aldrig ens har brytt dig
(och att allt ska va så jävla svårt)

plastic forever

things i never tell you for your sake
and things i never tell you for mine
you said that i should open up
well in time well see if you were right
cant say that its unfair
when you never speak aloud
tiniest wings in the world
that never make a sound
cant say that it’s unfair
but i never had a chance
plastic life
tiny clothes
you should try
i know you won’t
watch from the side
step for step
it’s almost like you were never there
the things i want in my body
not that i’d acknowledge that
if you could tell me you knew
and spare me all the air
you seem to think that i dont it
but i always understand
and i always fucking knew
just how you’d react
plastic life
tiny clothes
you should try
i know you won’t
watch from the side
step for step
its almost like you were never there

cut my hair
03:50
|

maybe if i got more drunk
i could say the things
that shouldnt slip out
maybe on a late spring night
i couldve figured it out
grow out my hair
for a year or two
ive been keeping secrets from you
break my wrists
if they ever freak you out
cover up my skin
drown me out
its far too cold
lavender right under the snow
freezing in my clothes
i dont wanna go home
washing out stains from my clothes
this used to be my favourite short
what happened to all those years
of thinking id feel less alone?
grow out my hair
for a year or two
ive been keeping secrets from you
break my wrists
if they ever freak you out
cover up my skin
drown me out
cut my hair
if i dont look the part
crush my wrists
if they freak you out
cut my hair
if i dont look the part
crush my wrists
if they freak you out

driest lips in the world
02:36
|
|||
|
is it so wrong to miss touch?
and everything you don’t know?
spend a lifetime alone
at the fault of your own
bloom far too late
never earn your stripes
its a silly thing
its embarrassing
i never learned how to act
its embarrassing
i never learned how to act
its the silliest thing
teenage years spent dead
half lying in your bed
you said these past few years were disappointing
i never learned how to act
through years ill never get back
and the driest fucking lips in the world

sure it hurts when spring comes
it should be for the better
sure it hurts when droplets fall
i think we wouldve liked each other
i need kallocain
i cant bring myself to say it
psychoanalyse me
tell me im not alright
berlin is colder now
it shouldnt hurt too much
it shouldnt hurt at all
i refuse this
i don’t know
do you feel any better
does this medicine hurt
(sure it hurts)
(my consciousness in my own)
(come and take it)
i need kallocain
i cant bring myself to say it
psychoanalyse me
tell me what i think
get out of berlin
bring your friends
lose your point of perspective
how does it look from the outside
how does it feel at all

hur ska jag tro att nånting ens är sant?
when i cant even trust my own mind
hur ska jag tro att nånting ens är sant?
when all ive ever known is lies
du skulle aldrig gett mig en chans
jag skulle aldrig försökt alls
du skulle aldrig gett mig en chans
jag skulle aldrig försökt alls
du säger att det ändå spelar roll
jag känner inget utan skam
du säger att det ändå är värt nåt
till världens pinsammaste person
hur ska jag tro att nånting ens är sant?
when i cant even trust my own mind
hur ska jag tro att nånting ens är sant?
when all ive ever known is lies
du säger att det är svårt att hata
men jag har inte hittat nåt att tycka om
du säger att det är svårt att hata
men jag har inte hittat nåt att tycka om
i bet that you have never seen your room from this angle
i bet that you have never felt your legs so distant
i bet that you have never seen your room from this angle
i bet that you have never felt your legs so distant
if that’s just what it takes
for seconds more in the light
shows i’ve never been
and staying up all night
take the train down south
and discover more of yourself
away from watching eyes
and everything you felt
hur ska jag tro att nånting ens är sant?
when i cant even trust my own mind
hur ska jag tro att nånting ens är sant?
when all ive ever known is lies
det närmar sig maj
och allting tar sitt slut
tänk att glömma allt som är kvar
och titta ut
jag tror inte på nånting
jag tror inte på nånting
jag tror inte på nånting
jag tror inte på nånting
jag tror inte på nånting
jag tror inte på nånting
jag tror inte på nånting
jag tror inte på nånting
men om det får dig att må bättre så

forget how to talk in second person
learning i cant act by myself
cause every new drug ive tried
i could never do it alone
but with such a distance apart
in time and in space
i could never quite tell
when im cold and when you’re not
sometimes i feel that im
not fully compensated
but then i realise i could never quite give back
you should take the blame
for every step i take
cause in a sense youre still an idol
not that i could ever tell you that
seeing but never seen
or at least thats how it feels
i hope you know i tried
if that means anything
but every single step
is just a source of shame
now im running out of excuses
i fear im running out of you

xiu xiu och parenthetical girls
för att känna mig lite speciell
inte att någon ser
det betyder ingenting
klä upp mig för ingen alls
nagellack och bandtröja
lämna inte ens rummet
det är nästan som jag inte fanns
i luv the valley oh
och jag vill brännas i brunnsparken
vara del av någonting
och sen aldrig nånsin igen
living like you committed some kind of crime
det är alltid fel
det är alltid nåt fel
and everytime there’s always some kind of lie
det är alltid nåt fel
det är bara mitt fel
böcker som ser bra ut på spårvagnen
ibland också ganska så bra
du skulle sagt till om jag såg pinsam ut
för jag vet aldrig hur det ska va
jag hatar mig själv
jag hatar mig själv
få det att se ut som jag aldrig brytt mig
när jag inte ens ser ut som någonting
det är tanken att de ska se ut så där
du behöver inte säga till
put me onto some kind of influence
so that i can try to forget myself
burn all the fucking t shirts
and burn all the evidence

flattering angle
03:21
|

|
find me a flattering angle
rephrase my words before i say them
make them something less pathetic
make them something to keep
im not one to act first
give me a fucking excuse
i just wanna feel different
i just wanna feel used
make me look more like a girl
or just anything else
im not manageable
destroy what’s left
find me a flattering angle
dressed in different colours
never meant to be noticed
never meant to be seen
tell me to look on the bright side
find my fucking bright side
find me a flattering angle
kill me looking alright

its nothing at all
its all the same
delete the files
theyll never be found
to think how all those days just disappear
as everything you did just fades away
crush the cassette tape
you dont want to hear it
destroy the files you were too afraid to show your friends
burn the fucking photographs
you dont look like that
forget the time you spent
trying to find yourself
get out of the bed
it’s too cliché
try to fall to rest inside your head
you dont seem to get
that in the end
everything will be as dead
and everything
you ever felt
and every touch
you might as well
if not for the shame
it’s the silliest thing
cancer cells
in a sense
so cut it out
from time to time
leave behind
discover why
you could try way too hard
you could give it everything you’ve got
but ill be here
and ill be here
and ill stay here
you could try way too hard
you could give it everything you’ve got
but im not there
and im not there
i wont be there
at all
its nothing personal
it was never personal at all
live like it meant something
it doesnt mean anything at all
its nothing personal
it was never personal at all
used to think it meant something
it doesnt mean anything at
you dont seem to get
that in the end
everything will be as dead
and everything
you ever felt
and every touch
you might as well
its the silliest thing
as years go by
lyrics memorised
explaining why
these things never turn out how you want
but you knew that from the start
(i never tried too hard)
you could try way too hard
you could give it everything you’ve got
but ill be here
and ill be here
and ill stay here
you could try way too hard
you could give it everything you’ve got
but im not there
and im not there
i wont be there
at all
its nothing personal
it was never personal at all
act like it meant something
it doesn’t mean anything at all
its nothing personal
it was never personal at all
act like it meant something
it doesn’t mean anything at
one less week til summer ends
and ill never see you again
and all ive ever known is gone
three more years of maybe friends
and eye contact that never ends
and ive waited so fucking long
i promise that i will look back
from time to time
its embarrassing
its a stupid hell
it’s a stupid thing
but split in two
there might be hope
for me and you
