Dropped you in a parking lot when you were just a child
Took you to the hospital, your mother’s eyes were wild
They told me you had died for just an hour or so
You said heard caterwauls and voices speaking low
Calling you home
They tore down our old high school and put up steel and glass
The kids are freaking out, they smoke too much to laugh
Of everything we knew, we soon inhale its dust
Embedded in our life lines, it’s all that’s left of us.

This is the first album I found that really spoke to me as a young fem.
From the simplicity, the bass drum, specifically in landfill is so steady and soothing. I love landfill because it perfectly portrays trauma bonds, sexual or romantic relationships rooted in power imbalance. Being led on, unrequited love, constantly being clueless if someone is a real friend, or a lover. Are they yours or are they ruthlessly rogue. Untameable. Love and hate are such similar feelings, and they often mingle. clementinehatepageichangedmymind
