Slug 03:26
Back into the sludge There's less of me now Less human somehow Void of empathy Void of energy There's less of me now Less human somehow The air is stale and thick with sleep Black mould rises all across the sweating walls The borders close, defences rise Hear no warmth in how some humans are described These are the walls these are the words I can see them forming blocks around my days Go through the motion with no emotion (Where are you now, lost in this fear run to nowhere, nothing is clear) These are the walls these are the words I can see them forming blocks around my days I won't fear life while I'm alive Even as the colours melt into the grey I've gotta go, I've got to get up and go

He wants me to be strong Enough to hold him up But not down by his wrists on the mattress. I'm not your manic I'm not your manic I'm not your manic pixie dream girl He wants me to remain Hey girl don't change don't change Don't grow don't grow Stay here stay here Be something for me to return to Something Some thing Some Thing thing thing thing I'm not your manic I'm not your manic I'm not your manic pixie dream girl I'm a protagonist Suck it I'm a protagonist Deal with it Protagonist Antagonist I'm not your manic I'm not your manic I'm not your manic pixie dream girl

Separated 03:05
Have we lost our patience yet Have we lost our memory Have we lost visibility Have we lost our memory Are we tied to convenience Have we lost our energy Have we lost our patience yet Have we forgot history I lie awake and grow older I close my eyes to be here I lie awake I am old now I close my eyes and I fear We are all complicit Say take it back They defend terror Constant attack Drain and distract Noone reacts My breath contracts Don't let ideology erase reality Say take it back They defend terror Constant attack Drain and distract Won't let ideology erase me Have we lost our patience yet Have we lost our memory Have we lost visibility Have we lost our memory Are we tied to convenience Have we lost our energy Have we lost our patience yet Have we forgot history I lie awake and grow older I close my eyes to be here I lie awake I am old now I close my eyes and I fear Say take it back They defend terror Constant attack Drain and distract No one reacts My breath contracts No one reacts No one reacts

about

Sometimes desperate and sometimes defiant, ‘Some Thing’ interrogates some big political ideas from an acutely personal perspective. Mental health and relationship issues open up into wider questions about alienation, borders, complicity and control.
It draws together different musical influences in a way that reflects this collision of ideas in the context of a culture that feels increasingly less human.
