a. it sounds like fucking drone metal

b. these are the lyrics (possibly - people are still arguing on the transcriptions lol)

 

I followed you in
I was with you there
I invited you in
Twice, I did
You love blood too much
But not like I do
Not like I do

Heard you
Saw you
Felt you
Gave you
Need you
Love you
Love you
Love you
Suffer does the wolf, crawling to thee
Promising a big fire, any fire
Saying I’m the one, he’s gonna take me
I’m on fire, I’m on fire, I’m on fire
Suffering is nigh, drawing to me
Calling me the one, I’m the white light
Beautiful, finite

Even the iron still fears the rot
Hiding from something I cannot stop
Walking on shadows, I can’t lead him back
Bucklеd on the floor when night comes along
Daddy’s lеft and Mama won’t come home

You poor thing
Sweet, mourning lamb
There’s nothing you can do
It’s already been done

What fear a man like you brings upon
A woman like me
Please don’t look at me
I can see it in your eyes
He keeps looking at me
Fell me, what have you done
Stop, stop, stop, make it stop, stop
Make it stop
Make it stop, I’ve had enough
Stop, stop, stop, stop

I am the face of love’s rage
I am the face of love’s rage

Blessed be the Daughters of Cain, bound to suffering eternal through the sins of their fathers committed long before their conception
Blessed be their whore mothers, tired and angry waiting with bated breath in a ferry that will never move again
Blessed be the children, each and every one come to know their god through some senseless act of violence
Blessed be you, girl, promised to me by a man who can only feel hatred and contempt towards you
I am no good nor evil, simply I am, and I have come to take what is mine
I was there in the dark when you spilled your first blood
I am here now as you run from me still
Run then, child
You can’t hide from me forever

 

we was like ahhhhh

ok but also the lyrics i’m assuming are an interaction between ethel and isaiah? it’s pretty intense and i’m thinking this is when he kidnapped her ?

what  someone explain

in the ethel cain universe, “preacher’s daughter” is part of a set of a trilogy (she will be writing a novel and making/directing a film for the whole trilogy too!). PD is the last album of the trilogy because she wanted to start with the end. isaiah is man who kidnaps her and ultimately cannibalizes and eats her in strangers (hence the line “if i’m turning in your stomach and im making you feel sick”). we first heard about isaiah in this instagram post. 

 

and also for everyone reading, here is how the story kind of plays out:

 

Logan (who was first heard about in this article) is the boyfriend she talks about in Western Nights. 

Some time between Western Nights and Family Tree, he dies, like in said article above. 

 

Willoughby Tucker is her ex boyfriend that she still loves and is the subject of A House in Nebraska. (beginning my insider era by saying that the PD b-sides coming out this year is completely about him and the title has something to do with him to) 

 

Isaiah is found in the first link above, and they are “connected in a way that they don’t even understand”, (possibly familial) and he kidnaps her during Thoroughfare. The rest of the album is about the moments leading up to her death and her posthumous message to her mother at the end of strangers.

quote from trusted ethel insider:

"yeah isaiah picks her up in thoroughfare and starts pimping her out and feeding her all these drugs in gibson girl and then she like starts hallucinating and going crazy in ptolemaea and then she gets murdered in august underground / televangelism and is reflecting on her life from beyond the grave in sun bleached flies / strangers"
