#album: the mourning

[lyricallymnded]

saviour ii // black veil brides

[alexturner]

thinking about tranquility base hotel + casino today and about how fucking cool it was. like what do you mean you were done writing love songs so you watched a million movies, locked yourself away in your home recording studio (that you named the lunar surface), and wrote a semi-concept album about a hotel on the moon that you invented in your head? where you're both the receptionist and the lounge singer performing two shows a day four nights a week? completely with a taqueria that gets four stars out of five? as mentioned in the lead single that's literally a faux advertisement for the hotel and all its accommodations? in the video for which you play evil twin versions of yourself? and you made a 3d model of the hotel that you singlehandedly, painstakingly put together using cardboard and an x-acto knife? with a sign that literally spins around if you put in on your tape recorder and turn it on? and you made a picture of that model the cover art for the album?

God Complex Little Triste & White Silas

Punch a hole in your coffin and let you breathe You’ve been living in your bed, dead between the sheets I know you get tired of finding yourself God it must be nice to be fine and move on to something else God it must be nice to feel fine and be happy with yourself God it must be nice to get by and not be bad for your own health God it must be nice to be alright and not wanna destroy yourself Isn’t is efficient, how i starve just to eat all my own words I’ll be fine once i make it but i have to get there first You and i, we’re disasters shaped like big bright stars Fucking everything up no matter where we are

lyrics:

things change but you knew me start to finish the first time you said my name I stay the same is that what you want me to say? I'm still lying in the ditch still reading too much meaning into every little twitch still mopping whiskey off the floor nobody's paying me to do it anymore you lost everything that day I had nothing and I gave it all away a debt too high to ever be repaid is that what you want me to say? I still come when you call gravity still works: when you push me, I still fall I've not forgotten how to play my role you can let me off the leash, I'm still a watchdog on patrol you've changed your face and limbs all rearranged I still grit my teeth through every pain is that what you want me to say? I took the shining emeralds from your eyes I grabbed your next three hundred years and choked out all the life that's the most of you that I have ever held can you believe that you once looked at me and told me I'd done well? empty credits on my resume special skills: desert, steal, and betray always hoped that I would make you proud someday is that what you want me to say? the world has changed all its warmth gone down the drain but I stay the same I was born to shiver anyway I was in the gutter anyway I was just some human anyway no one but myself who I can blame is that what you want me to say?
