lyrics

Born to be a dancer
Unfulfilled by their spectating eyes
She was cast away, a stray
Running to survive
 And she was a stranger
Unfamiliar with their cast iron smiles
She had gone out west to bury what's left
Of a speculative nest she tried to forget

So I guess (I guess)
This is it (That's it)
I'm not anywhere closer to where I was going
Oh (I guess)
That this is it (That's it) I'll send you a postcard if something reminds me of you

And she felt the danger
On lonely highways growing desolate and wild
Her tattoos fading in the rays
Of the summer smile

And quick like a cancer
She made her way to where she
lived as a child
Back out west where the only thing left
are the memories she repressed
In the valley of death

So I guess (I guess)
This is it (That's it)
I'm not anywhere closer to where I was going
Oh (I guess)
That this is it (That's it) I'll send you a postcard if something reminds me of you

Tried my best to stay clean and satisfied
But I couldn't figure it out to save me
I'm back home to disappear but I don't want to talk about it
I was never enough for you to love me baby, please

So I guess (I guess)
This is it (That's it)
I'm not anywhere closer to where I was going
Oh (I guess)
That this is it (That's it) I'll send you a postcard if something reminds me of you

Prison On A Hill
by Somos

supported by 8 fans who also own “Dancer”

Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long. RIP, Phil PaintedDogs

viscerally affected by covid, this album has a less optimistic but more accepting message than the previous. it reaches the heart of my experience (and others'?) in a cathartic and depressing acknowledgement. it's nice to know you feel the same niq
