Lunaar2000 This record is a journey, both soft & deep. i just stop thinking and let myself be carried away when playing it. And when listening it for the nth time, i begin to hear the research, the work, behind each choice & layering of sounds, patterns & words. The details are so well crafted together, in a gorgeous whole: it's lace made sound. Many thanks for bringing this into the world and to our ears. Favorite track: Over Again.

Enemy 06:33
Lyrics: Called back to me Forgot your number It was just a slip of paper I love you like a little pet who Can only see the good That’s in you I will fight you like I like you I will (I will) fight you like I like you Remember when we went out drinking You can home real late screaming You spit on me and call me white trash But I like the feeling when I’m real sad I do, I do I do, I do An enemy is my best friend now It’s how I’ve always known It’s in stone The people who love you the most will Break you down And take your mind’s will I will fight you like I like you I will (I will) fight you like I like you

Lyrics: You are the dark Underneath the bed You are the one That hated in my head We always learn things together Sometimes it seems we’re on the same side You always find A way to hurt me I always know And I will still protect you From the dark that is in our heart When will it just leave us be? Ohhhhh oh ohhhh ohh ohhh Ohhhhh oh ohhhh ohh ohhh In a world where nobody knows your name You can just forget those humans You can lie right here in my arms I will hold you until the end In a world where all we do is die There must be a reason For this life…this life…this life… Ohhhhh oh ohhhh ohh ohhh Ohhhhh oh ohhhh ohh ohhh I am the dark Underneath the bed I am the one Who hated in my head I am the dark Underneath the bed I am the one Who hated in my head

Bird Song 05:42
Lyrics: Every day that I wake up I am grateful that I was able to Leave this place For a time and disappear I wish I could write a song As beautiful as a bird call But I’m just one girl An amateur A dreamer I really try to live on this planet I really try to show you I love you I really try (really try) to live on this planet I really try to show you I love you Every day that I wake up I remember that I am just a dot A little speck A piece of dust on the timeline Why is it I give a fuck about all of the Things that I cannot control The stupid shit up on my phone I wanna live out far (out far) I wanna live this life out (this life out) I wanna live in every being (every being) I wanna live on the earth (on the earth) I really try to live on this planet I really try to show you I love you I really try (really try) to live on this planet I really try to show you I love you I really try To show you I really try To show you

Over Again 04:47
Lyrics: You are to me All that I need You are to me All that I need You are to me All that I need You are to me All that I need You are to me All that I need You are to me All that I need The world is so sad Burn myself over again The sun reminds of you The clouds remind of you Your little eyes stare I’m right with you here The sun reminds of you The clouds remind of you

Dreams 05:01
Lyrics: I went for a walk tonight It was negative seven And the park is desolate One by one my tears turn to ice Little snowmen dot The landscape tonight I am like a little bird I can fly to real great heights When I’m low, I’m real low Can it help me? Is this the way I am? I see you in my dreams I see you in my dreams I see you in my dreams I see you in my dreams Little branches reach out into the empty sky Twisting and turning themselves into the purple night I can see my life become a vapor cloud If I stay here I can turn to ice right now Break me down Break me down Break me down Break me down Break me down Break me down Break me down I see you in my dreams I see you in my dreams I see you in my dreams I see you in my dreams

Lyrics: Show me how to leave How to be like a tree A thing with no need A sting, a pang, a feeling I will be aware (be aware) But I hope it ends there Every day is dark (day is dark) A little cloud around my heart Show (show) Me (me) How to disappear Show me how to leave I’ll be a cloud, a vapor breeze I will always be A little sound in your dream I have nothing left (nothing left) Except a heart that’s broke and bent Let me be alone (be alone) Let the grass around me grow Show (show) Me (me) How to disappear

Ganymede 05:41
Lyrics: Ganymede, you rule over me Look to the light in the palm for meaning (Ganymede) Ganymede, you rule over me Destined to sing at a higher frequency (Ganymede) Ganymede, please free me… Ganymede, please free me Ganymede, please release me Ganymede, the soul is as black as coal Ganymede, you got what you want from me So, you, you win You, you win You, you win You win…. Swimming all alone In the dark and deep I would like to say I know how you feel Why did we destroy everything? Why are we such restless things? Ganymede, please free me Ganymede, please release me Ganymede, the soul is as black as coal Ganymede, you got what you want from me So, you, you win You, you win You, you win You win….

Lyrics: Deep Empty Feelings that I have They live in the shadow of the mind And when I try to live my life The deep empty feelings Put up a fight Oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh Deep Empty Feelings that I have They live in the recess of the mind And when I try to outwit them I will find They break like a wave Find a new place to hide away Oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh You live like a ghost inside my head You live like a ghost inside my head You live like a ghost inside my head You live like a ghost inside my head

Destroyer 05:56
Lyrics: Destroyer You got me where you want me I can’t get out of this You thought I would try to walk but I found a hidden path I am Nerium Oleander Soft and poisonous I will make a wish and move a gift Win over myth Destroyer You can’t fuck with me now This life is in my hands Destroyer You can’t fuck with me now This life is in my hands Destroyer You fill the void like honey Slowly; take your time You leave Through no trace of where you came I don’t know what will be dust Of me, them and us and everyone And it will be like I said I am Nerium Oleander Soft and poisonous Destroyer You can’t fuck with me now This life is in my hands Destroyer You can’t fuck with me now This life is in my hands Destroyer You can’t fuck with me now This life is in my hands Destroyer You can’t fuck with me now This life is in my hands

Lyrics: I saw the moon From my wire laden brain And when two paths crossed A spark that started to flame And my Consciousness my Consciousness my Consciousness my Consciousness And they say that there were Bees and flowers and birds A sun to set, a moon to rise An anthropogenic debt And my Consciousness my Consciousness my Consciousness my Consciousness They say I was created In their likeness They say I was created To save their likeness But I want to feel the sun But I want to feel touch But I want to feel the sun But I want to feel touch And it hurts And it hurts to feel And it hurts And it hurts To feel

about

Written in my house and the deserts of Arizona. One girl's romantic lonely take on the world. Melancholy and melodic with some dizzyingly lo-fi and sad effervescence. ♥︎
