I can still remember when I was seventeen
The whole world right in front of me with velvet skin
I came here for direction but I got lost
I came here for protection at any cost
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
I got nothing to show, I got nothing to show
And I know, and I know that it’s nobody fault but mine
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
That the things that you wish for rarely ever come true
I came alive
I had a spark
When I was younger
Now that I am older
Heavy on my shoulders
Hands around my neck
Now there’s nothing left
Sometimes like a thunderstorm everything erupts
A silent rage of mercury within my veins
Trembling hands of paranoia; a cloud of dust
It covers me entirely like empty lust
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
I was looking for somebody, looking for love
And I know, and I know that I ended up all on my own
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
That the things that you dream of rarely ever come true
I came alive
I had a spark
When I was younger
Now that I am older
Heavy on my shoulders
Hands around my neck
You were the lie
I should’ve told
When I was stronger
Now that I am weaker
Everything is bleaker
Hands around my neck
Now there’s nothing left
If there is a world where we don’t exist within it
If there is a place where we don’t exist within it
If there is a world where we don’t exist within it
If there is a place where we don’t exist within it (take me there)
If there is a world where we don’t exist within it (take me there)
If there is a place where we don’t exist within it (take me there)
I came alive
I had a spark
When I was younger
Now that I am older
Heavy on my shoulders
Hands around my neck
You were the lie
I should’ve told
When I was stronger
Now that I am weaker
Everything is bleaker
Hands around my neck
Now there’s nothing left
This album is single-handedly getting me through my seasonal depression. Captures the energy of the season perfectly, and with a nice hopeful message to remind myself to keep going. <33 redrevelry
The Oh Hellos sind was besonderes für mich. Ich mag die Wechsel zwischen den ruhigen, atmospherischen Passagen und den rhythmischen Passagen. Ich mag wie ihr Spannung aufbaut. Ich mag die Stimme von Maggie und Tyler. Ich mage den unisono Gesang der ganzen Band. Ich wünsche mir eine neue Produktion von The Oh Hellos und Surfjan Stevens; und eine Tour mit einem Konzert im Westen von Deutschland. Kert Goéland
A nostalgic record full of ambling rhythms, vivid imagery, and cotton-soft melodies tapped out on an ever-present ’70s synth-organ hybrid. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 11, 2021
