don’t make it bad cause you don’t think
about distinguishing things
I know it’s sad but they don’t know
it’s not registering
don’t make it bad cause you don’t want
the same things
don’t make it sorry cause you think
discriminately
don’t you worry about
the things that we are not
there’s no hurry to act it out
don’t tear apart a loss
but what do I do when things fall apart on you?
but what do I do when things fall apart on you?

Don't Save Me
02:46
|
|||
|
I can’t define the state you’re in
it’s hard to stay in lines within
but you describe your innocence
you’re faking it
you’re faking it
just like the time you saw us drawing near
you’re in a kind of drawl to the atmosphere
now you’re in a kind of fall that’s closing in
don’t save me
don’t save me
don’t save me
It’s hard to say you’re fine from down below
when you’re in a binding tie with thought control
but you can buy some time if you give in
but you’re taking it
you’re taking it
just like the time you saw us drawing near
you’re in a kind of drawl to the atmosphere
now you’re in a kind of fall that’s closing in
don’t save me
don’t save me
don’t save me
don’t save me
don’t save me
don’t save me

Arrest Me
03:40
|

|
so long relax, a kind, a call, you were
a kind of a culprit mind, a kind doer
I can’t decide to say, to stay to her
a kind of decay in time, a stall, you were
arrest, arrest, arrest, arrest, arrest, arrest me when I’m gone
arrest, arrest, arrest, arrest, arrest, arrest me when I’m gone
so long a sigh, a sign, a si, a site, a siren in sight, in time, in time, in time
I can’t decide and can’t relax, I can’t hide it from myself
relax, relax, relax, relax, rewind, rewind, rewind, rely, rely, rely
well I can’t relax and can’t decide, I can’t hide it from myself
it’s hard enough to find someone like you
it’s hard enough to find someone like you
so long relax, a kind, a call, you were
a kind of a culprit mind, a kind doer
I can’t decide to say, to say to her
a kind of decay in time, a stall, you were
arrest, arrest, arrest, arrest, arrest, arrest me when I’m gone
arrest, arrest, arrest, arrest, arrest, arrest me when I’m gone
it’s hard enough to find someone like you
it’s hard enough to find someone like you

Arab Lawns
02:46
|
|||
|
we’ve been transfixed
on Arab lawns
raising our fists
shooting our guns
and now we’re vexed
and time has gone
we won’t be missed
but not for long
your brutal kiss
awoke those kids
who spoke in psalms
provoking bombs
yet you insist
wringing your wrists
where you have gone
remains a hiss
we’ve been transfixed
on dates and palms
through all these years
we’ve sung along
a decalogue
of parting song
rings through the land
on Arab lawns.

14 Lines

you told me fourteen lines
in a kind of force
which you could not define
the time before
if I could hold it to you
would you know for sure?
if I could hold it to you
would you know it more?
you think it’s by design
that it’s your choice
which makes you feel alright
if you’ve chosen poor
if I could hold it to you,
would you know for sure?
if I could hold it to you,
would you know it more?
don’t explain it when you know you realized before
don’t explain it when you know they understood it more
don’t explain it when you know you realized before
don’t explain it when you know they understood it more
you told me fourteen lines
in a kind of force
which you could not define
the time before
if I could hold it to you,
would you know for sure?
if I could hold it to you,
would you know it more?
don’t explain it when you know you realized before
don’t explain it when you know they understood it more
don’t explain it when you know you understood it more
don’t explain it when you know they realized before

Maybe It's Better
03:04
|

|
now that it’s been dusted off
maybe it’s better than it used to be
now that we have gone and talked
we don’t have to see what we used to see
maybe we’ve had enough
we don’t want to be what we used to be
you just want to run away
dividing up the time and space
and then you think you had enough
when you want to give it up
now that it’s becoming true
you don’t want to do what you have to do
you know you gotta make it right
but you don’t want to talk if you have to lie
now you gotta see it through
but you don’t want to know where it’s coming to
you just want to run away
dividing up the time and space
and then you think you had enough
when you want to give it up
now that it’s been dusted off
maybe it’s better than it used to be
now that we have gone and talked
we don’t have to see what we used to see
maybe we’ve had enough
we don’t want to be what we used to be

Long Goodbye
02:40
|
|||
|
It’s another season and I’m reasoning again
with the same thing appealing to the sense
it’s the same old feeling I forget
could it be, it’s up to us if we decide?
I’ll take the long goodbye anytime
I’ll take the long goodbye anytime
I’m confused as the rest of everyone I know
even though we think we’re closer to the truth
you can struggle with the same things we all do
it’s another season and I’m reasoning again
with the same thing appealing to the sense
it’s the same old feeling I forget
would you know it when you see it passing by
if it’s all the same to you, if it’s all the same inside?
what does it mean,
when it means nothing is there something still to teach?
even though it can’t be used, isn’t it something out reach?
could it be, it’s up to us if we decide
I’ll take the long goodbye anytime
I’ll take the long good bye anytime

Lonesome Town
03:04
|

|
you were married to the time and place you thought you knew
you could get out somehow but you don’t know what to do
there’s a place in town that’s haunted by the truth
no matter where you are it’s staring back at you
don’t sigh, sunshine, keeps a lasting view
don’t mind and you’ll find what you already knew
you were married to the time and place you couldn’t fix
you could reach out but you don’t know where to put your fist
there’s a joke that you know and you keep forgetting it
you’re hanging on to the show that you know you’re gonna get
don’t sigh, sunshine, keeps a lasting view
don’t mind and you’ll find what you already knew
don’t sigh, sunshine, holds a lasting beat
don’t mind and you’ll find that you’ll get on your feet

Raindrops

don’t explain, it’s already out in the light
don’t expect raindrop tears from my eyes
don’t explain, we’ve already waved goodbye
don’t expect raindrop tears from my eyes
but don’t eclipse what’s only left in my mind
don’t expect raindrop tears from my eyes
don’t explain, it’s already out in the light
but don’t eclipse what’s only there in my mind

Sure, maybe my ears are ruined by the loudness wars, but it's hard to believe that this mix is the sound anyone was looking for. Every element sounds buried and distant to me, which is a shame since the songs are top-notch. Let's have a 13-month anniversary remix, eh?

Shybaby kicks out the jams on “Is This Intimate,” a snarling rock record that takes no prisoners.

Melbourne-based Slush's debut EP is filled with feminist, punky-pop tunes that make for an exciting introduction to their music.

Though the lyrics and cover art present a dystopian landscape, the music remains bright, bouncy, and catchy on the Austin group's first full-length.
