Ok fuck it I’m so sleep deprived I am going to parasocialize on main:

Champagne Problems came on my playlist when I was in the car this morning and it struck me that “you told your family for a reason, you couldn’t keep it in” kind of parallels how much wedding/marriage imagery was all over the Lover album with her telling the world she was ready to marry this person and in turn everyone expecting it to happen imminently but then by evermore we started getting all the relationship breakdown stories because no one was celebrating anymore 😵‍💫

this is a starter call !! 🩷 like for a starter that will be queue'd up for this week while i'm away -- if there's a specific verse you'd like, or if you're a multi and you have a muse ( or muses !! ) in mind pop 'em into the comments.

i feel like the bridge of love from the other side, specifically the lyric, "inscribed like stone and faded by the rain / 'give up what you love, / give up what you love before it does you in'", so wonderfully expresses one of the biggest overarching themes in so much (for) stardust, and i wanna talk about it!

with that lyric, when you first hear it it sounds horribly, horribly depressing and bleak. give up what you love before it does you in? what a fucked up sentiment, honestly- that you have to give up the things you love before they ruin you. for a lyric on an album about nihilism and feeling like you're watching the world ending before your very eyes, and trying to find how to cope with that, it's very fitting!

except, the lyric doesn't really mean that incredibly depressed explanation. because that phrase, give up what you love before it does you in, although inscribed like stone, although it is a sentiment so pressed into pete/us/society/the world at large, that even the things you love aren't worth it, that they'll ruin you too- it's faded. it might have a presence, it might be hard to ignore sometimes because it is inscribed still, it's faded. ignored. not honored, not tended to. not upheld.

and i think that is so much of what this album is. we have inscribed in us so much nihilism, so much negativity and pessimism, and why wouldn't we? there is so much bad in the world, at times even the things we love can and will hurt us, it's easy to wonder what the point is. it feels easier sometimes to just give up caring and become cold and closed off. to let the nihilism fully consume us, it's almost as if that's what the world wants us to do, after all! but this album is literally saying yes, yes it's easier to do that, it's easier to believe everything is meaningless and hurts and maybe those things are true, but that doesn't mean you give up. that doesn't mean you listen to what you think the world is telling you. that doesn't mean you can't make your own meaning, live a fulfilling life with the pain and sadness walking beside you, and find things that maybe don't make the pain go away, maybe these things don't make anything 'better' ever, but maybe they make things easier. maybe you can eventually learn how to live with the pain and meaninglessness in a way that isn't crushing, because you have things you love to help. even if those things do you in, you have to keep going, despite, despite, despite. and ride your own melt. take pleasure in the details.

What's ur fav foxszn song, it's sooo hard to choose between nepo baby and last night they both slap so hard

IT IS SO DIFFICULT FOR ME TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THEM 😵‍💫 I have a lot of thoughts abt the two since they're the most recent songs Danny (er Fox Szn) has released...

Both Nepo Baby and Last Night are incredible comedy songs, while Nepo Baby is centered around a comedic theme, Last Night is a genre parody of 2010s recession pop and both are executed SO WELL.

Nepo Baby is also extremely catchy and the punchlines in the song are SO perfect the way he builds them up before executing them is 👌!! Last Night does a great job of over exaggerating the typical 2010s pop theme of "living tonight like its our last night" and incorporating party themes/"working hard". Both are just so good I absolutely love Danny's lyricism in his comedy songs he's so talented when it comes to writing funny and catchy comedy music 🥰

Sorry for rambling but all in all I'd have to pick Nepo Baby cuz I have 5k plays for the song and it's the best thing Danny's ever written (Last Night is def right next to it tho the genre parody is 🥰💕)

thinking about this convo earlier this week that would have seemed impossible like not even 8 months ago for multiple reasons

my brother: so how long have you known amelia?

me: about a year

my brother: oh so it’s been a long time coming

(me: yeah)

my brothers bf: it’s you and me, that’s my whole world. they whisper in the hallway she’s a bad bad girl

Give you my wild, give you a child, give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other, is it enough? -> My body, my love, my trust but it wasn't enough

i always thought the lyric was ‘i don’t cater to all these vipers dressed in vampires clothing’ until today and wondered why they were dressed like vampires ffs

[raisy-archive]

i might not feel real but it’s ok.
