This one's about how sometimes you get close to people and you really encourage or enable the shittiest, lowest, most destructive parts of one another, and how there's definitely an unfortunate comfort to be had in being at your worst.
lyrics
We barely had the strength to dig ourselves this hole
We barely knew the difference between self-harm and self-control
We sketched out our self-portraits but little did we know
you can't build yourself a body just by willing it so
We could starve intertwined as one linking our ribs through our abdomens
Ripped the flesh off from my sides and more off from the front
You could build a whole new person with the parts that I don't want
Got so caught up seeing how much I could cut off
that I left the remainder out to fucking rot
We could starve intertwined as one linking our ribs through our abdomens
The terrific new record from Nyxy Nyx recalls the best of the early ’90s—slow-moving, shoegaze-adjacent songs with woozy melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 11, 2022
