an old track about depression & running away really really fast from potential love.
the nadir metaphor might be confusing, but it essentially translates to 'i am a better person when i don't have any romantic feelings ever'.
(outdated since we hit seven billion.)
lyrics
it took me to the point of hysteria to unlock partially,
all i want was catatonia, to shut off completely -
it drove me to the edge of insomnia, it dug me deep into nausea,
i wanted perpetual hypnagogia, now i can't do this,
i can't do this.
if love was a nadir, then i was surveying the sky, i was submerged in stars before.
& i'd hang my hat on yr crooked arms, but you ain't home,
you ain't coming home,
yr alive & yr willing, you said home is where the
oh
is
this the part where i say i wanna build this maze?
i wanna lose it all, i wanna spend my days building walls, build them high, so you can see them from space.
cos i've got six billion thoughts - where you are, who yr with
& i've got six billion fears - who's out to get me, who wants me dead,
& i've got six billion thoughts - where i am, who i'm with - & i'm wondering, i'm wondering if i should even give you one.
is this the part where i say i'm gonna build this maze? i wanna lose it all, i wanna spend my days building walls, build them high, so you can see them from space.
is this the part where i say i wanna build this maze? i wanna lose it all, i wanna spend my days building walls, build them high,
so you can see them.
