#and ofc Hold Me Like A Grudge is just another perfect theme song.

saw you mention fob new album - thoughts on Heaven, Iowa being an akeshuake song from Akira's perspective?

That's actually one of my favorite songs from the entire album!! I see it from both their perspectives, with the first verse being from Goro's perspective and the second from Akira's! The chorus and bridge fit both of them, of course :)

Other stuff from this album that hit the akeshu feels were these lines specifically from Love From The Other Side:

This city always hangs a little bit lonely on me, loose Like a kid playing pretend in his father's suit I'd never go, I just want to be invited

Every lover's got a little dagger in their hand

I saw you in a bright clear field, hurricane heat in my head The kind of pain you feel to get good in the end, good in the end Inscribed like stone and faded by the rain: "Give up what you love Give up what you love before it does you in"

And just the entirety of Baby Annihilation:

An alligator prince with crocodile tears, too many to count Permanent head-cold dreams awash in your love, fallin' in and out Time is luck, and I wish ours overlapped more or for longer Orange leaves but we're the ones falling off trees The first time I took the mask off, just had another one on underneath I'm just melted wax on a birthday cake, another year fades away Charcoal crushed, pixie fever, angel dust Stuck in a wasteland we covered in glitter and broadcast just for a little serotonin Self-sabotage at best, under your spell But you know what they say "If you want a job done right, you gotta do it yourself" This palace was crystal, but the world was a cruel joke What is there between us, if not a little annihilation?
