I’m randomly remembering about the lyrics in my day and I  fight the urge to read them over and over again as I want to be floored once I hear the whole thing

We've only got hours
And I just can't stop crying
Cause all of the ways
When you see someone dying
The sea of your daze flashing in front of you
And you think about who will be with you

Daddy, I miss them
I'm in the mountains
I'm probably running away from the feelings I hid
When I think of the things about them

 

Brought by the sunlight of the spirit to pour into me

There's a name for it in Japanese
It's Kintsugi

 

I give myself two seconds to cry
Let it crash over me like the waves in the sea

I give myself two seconds to breathe
Go back to being a serene queen

Lyrical masterpiece incoming 

[anwdelrey 8,964]

Another Drew Erickson lashing because I’m just in a bitchy mood.

 

Y’all see how A&W’s first part, even if piano-oriented, evokes a very specific mood and tone? Drew Erickson could NEVER EVER. EVER.

The fact that BoZ said these lyrics are nothing special on the album, especially right next to a song like Fingertips...I don't think i'll make my first listen of the album out alive

I’m genuinely worried for all of us because we are NOT going to be okay when this album comes out. I wish we could all rent out the Ramada and have a listening party

Drew produced Let The Light In which is one of the best songs on the album according to BoZ and Kintsugi

Guys I’m sorry that I keep going on about this but on Spotify it’s even better, we’re at the top of the list and I’m not even contributing as I’m in exile

What I get from those lyrics is that Kintsugi will be a track where she meditates on the grief/loss of her grandparents.

 

"Kintsugi is the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with gold — a metaphor for embracing your flaws and imperfections. “You won't realize your full potential until you go through the tough times,” Kumai says. With that said, Kintsugi takes work and awareness in order for it to truly be healing."
