about

i wrote this song during lockdown after feeling strangely emotional about a picture i saw of two people hugging and dancing on the street at night. it’s like there’s a strong need for our body to experience the normal catharsis that life brings - the regular emotions of life - highs and lows. but with all the mundanity, it’s as if there’s some weird build up from not experiencing them. this song came out of the emotional heaviness of that.

lyrics

take me apart by hand
slow as you work
look inside

it’s delicate work that you do
mistakes might be made
but someone has to

what did you find?
was it all okay?
is there something wrong with the way i was made?

why do i feel
like i might explode
i’m missing the highs
and i'm craving the lows

why do i feel so heavy

lately i dream of a life
where i get to touch you
holding you tight
with all of this bottled inside
i think i just need to cry

ooooh

take me apart in your hands
don’t care if it hurts
i need something to burn

This burden of unused desire
with nowhere to go
but my mind

it makes no sense
why i feel low
looking at photos of people i don’t know

why can’t i have
the thing that they do
i need some release, some cathartic pursuit

i feel so heavy

lately i dream of a life
where i get to touch you
holding you tight
with all of this bottled inside
i think i just need to cry

ooooh
