Overall I think EP1 is my favorite body of work from her.

I thought the bolded would be a lot higher on your list.

he's fucking irrelevant, but glad to see he was right about this one

irrelevancy must be nice with  a base of 330,000+ subs and a steady stream of views, right?

I knew it! Everyone has been saying "Nod your head and give up, I'm not gonna let you give up, babe" but that obv makes NO SENSE.

I thought it was that for the longest xd. Until I read the lyrics on the booklet

Relevancy as a music critic, beyond his Internet base doesn't exist

 

The basis of his ratings suck ass more than he does. Let me know when he's a critic for a legit publication and I'll care

Relevancy as a music critic, beyond his Internet base doesn't exist

 

The basis of his ratings suck ass more than he does. Let me know when he's a critic for a legit publication and I'll care

1. He uses a personal ratings system.

2. I don't always agree with his ratings, but as he states very frequently, they are his personal views on an album. Most of the time they are non-biased and other times they are.

3. "Relevancy as a music critic, beyond his Internet base doesn't exist", in that case 99% of the artists we listen to wouldn't exist in the modern era of music. Internet creates the basis on which the artists have to create their platform on.

4. Youtube is a hobby to the majority of the world, including him. In that case you are invalidating anyone who reviews music, especially since the majority of people who do review music aren't backed by any form of publication.

 

 

don't forget to nominate me for next month's MOTM. :deadbanana:

then why does Metacritic exist?

 

Most fan sites pay closest attention to music critics in things like Pitchfork, NME, Spin, Rolling Stone, etc

 

I'm highly opinionated on this because I'm in college for journalism and music business and I hate the fact ANYONE can review things and be taken seriously when they have little/no credibility

LP1 Lyrics

 

PREFACE

 

 

i love another and thus i hate myself.

 

 

LIGHTS ON

 

 

i shy away...

in my mind

in hope someday i can share this place

with you

you'll be the first one to find

the shadows that make the girl you undo

cause the man that you are is defined by the way that you act in the night

break or seize me

if the flame gets blown out and you shine

I will know that you cannot be mine

live or leave me

 

when I trust you we can do it with the lights on

when I trust you we can do it with the lights on

when I trust you we'll make love until the morning let me tell you all my secrets in a whisper til the day's done

when I trust you we can do it with the lights on

when I trust you we can do it with the lights on

when I trust you we'll make love until the morning let me tell you all my secrets in a whisper til the day's done

 

break or seize me

let the things that I tell you survive

in the way that you handle your size

live or leave me

 

when I trust you we can do it with the lights on

when I trust you we can do it with the lights on

when I trust you we'll make love until the morning let me tell you all my secrets in a whisper til the day's done

when I trust you we can do it with the lights on

when I trust you we can do it with the lights on

when I trust you we'll make love until the morning let me tell you all my secrets in a whisper til the day's done

 

 

TWO WEEKS

 

 

I know it hurts

you know

i'd quench that thirst

 

(I can trust you better than her)

 

you say you want me

I say you think about it

cause you're the only

one who resonates that chase mouth open like aaaahhh

 

higher than a mutha fucka dreaming of you as my lova

flying like a streamer thinking of new ways to do each other

pull out the incisor give me two weeks you won't recognize her

mouth open you're high

 

I know it hurts

you know

i'd put you first

 

(I can fuck you better than her)

 

you say you want me

I say you'll live without it

unless you're the only

one who instigates get your mouth open you're high

 

feel your body closing I can rip it open

suck me up i'm healing for the shit you're dealing

smoke on your skin to get those pretty eyes rolling

my thighs are apart for when you're ready to breathe in

suck me up i'm healing for the shit you're dealing

high mutha fucka get your mouth open you know you're mine

 

i'll put you first just close your eyes and dream about it

(higher than a mutha fucka dreaming of you as my lova)

i'll quench that thirst just chase the high and stop your doubting

(flying like a streamer thinking of new ways to do each other)

high

high

 

 

HOURS

 

 

I could kiss you for hours

 

who'd have thought...

i'd be here?

in your mouth

loud and clear

harder

do you feel it with me?

harder

am I suited to fit...

all of your needs?

master of all of your needs

 

I could kiss you for hours

and not miss a thing

read my lips now

I could kiss you for hours

the feeling you bring

so deep in now

I could kiss you for hours

 

how would you like if my lips touched yours

and they stayed close baby till the stars fade out

how would you like it if I sucked before I bite?

but it wasn't too hard so it felt alright

how would you like it if I held you in my arms?

round off your edges be a substitute for calm?

 

harder

do you feel it with me?

harder?

am I suited to fit...

all of your needs?

master of all of your needs

 

I could kiss you for hours

and not miss a thing

read my lips now

I could kiss you for hours

the feeling you bring

so deep in now

I could kiss you for hours

 

driving heaven under the ground

the sweetest things a girl like me has found

flying in a higher world of your own

a long lost boy aside a man that's grown

 

I could kiss you for hours

and not miss a thing

read my lips now

I could kiss you for hours

the feeling you bring

so deep in now

I could kiss you for hours

I could kiss you for hours

I could kiss you for hours

I could kiss you for hours

 

 

PENDULUM

 

 

i'm a sweet...

little love maker

finding time

to make my words better

lately i'm...

not so present now

not enough

for your constant found

 

I've got time but you're tired of waiting

you only want me in open spaces

can't fill your gaps with people

I know no one

 

so lonely trying

to be yours

when you're looking for

so. much. more.

 

you forget...

how we fell in love

i'm your sweet little love maker

 

you're younger than I am broken

I dance feelings like they're spoken

so my conversation's not enough

 

so lonely trying to be yours

running through sliding doors

so lonely trying to be yours

when you're looking for

so. much. more.

 

how does it feel to have me thinking about you?

wishing my words were enough to consume you

how does it feel to have me thinking about you?

 

so lonely trying to be yours

running through sliding doors

so lonely trying to be yours

when you're looking for

so. much. more.

 

to be yours

ugh. to be yours

CLOSER

 

 

now I yearn to

follow you in

everything I do

all those years in isolation

helped me want for you

lead me to a place i'm free from

all the wrongs I do

in return i'll live my life

forever loving you

 

closer

i'm here to be closer

closer

to you to you to you to you

closer

i'm ready now

closer

closer

to you to you to you to you

 

in my mind

eternal darkness

seemed like it was true

oh so wretched

oh so lost

until my savior knew

I was weary

I was sleepy

but you held me through

carried me along the sand

your footsteps gold and cooth

 

closer

i'm here to be closer

closer

to you to you to you to you

closer

i'm ready now

closer

closer

to you to you to you to you

 

all those years in

isolation

isolation

isolation

 

 

GIVE UP

 

 

tell me why I act this way

tell me that i'll change someday

i'll be the one that can satisfy you

if I can rectify the...

the few things I've got to change

the few things in my way

ok so I've said it before and I wont imply that...

you're not too close to the fact

 

just nod your head and get up

i'm not gon let you give up babe

just nod your head and get up

i'm not gon let you give up babe

I know that

sometimes you wish i'd go

away. away

just nod your head and get up

i'm not gon let you give up babe

 

do I get another chance?

did I make the final stand?

above the ones that are oh so perfect

cause they know how to work it

work it

work it

 

looking like I'll keep it now

I made the cut

ok so I've done it before and you think it's an act

but I call this time a wrap

 

just nod your head and get up

i'm not gon let you give up babe

just nod your head and get up

i'm not gon let you give up babe

I know that

sometimes you wish i'd go

away. away

I know that

sometimes you wish i'd go

away. away

but I wish that

you would know that i'm here

to stay. to stay

just nod your head and get up

i'm not gon let you give up babe

 

tell me what I've got to do

no no don't give up

i'll do anything to make it better. babe

i'll do anything thi thi thi

do you like it like that?

tell me what I've got to do

no no don't give up

cause i'll do anything to make you see me babe

I feel for you

time passes by

I explore. stroke my side

so I tell myself it's cool

for me to wait for you

just for you

I collect my thoughts and breathe

because I take your lead

tell me what do I do when you're not here?

what do I do when you're not here?

tell me what do I do when you're not here?

I love my touch. know just what to do

 

so I tell myself it's cool

to get my kicks like you

just like you

I just touch myself and say

I thought the bolded would be a lot higher on your list.

 

Hours DOES look low with all those songs above it, but I still have a very high opinion of it...I just love EP1, Water Me, and Ultraviolet so much, so high LP1 tracks look low.

 

But I thought we established that I don't care for Poopi Pacify

 

I thought it was that for the longest xd. Until I read the lyrics on the booklet 

Who even thought that?

 

Welp.
