lyrics
With the lights down low
After the afterglow
Just a whistling wind in our ears
Memory is past
We relive the aftermath
I leave my to-do list in the sand
So when the day is long
Take care to carry on
Even deserts bloom, even water's piled up
Reference point
Referencing my own thankfully anonymous thoughts
Hated on days like these
A haiku, archery, and a drawing of flowers
Reference point
Rеferencing my own shamefully еponymous thoughts
Written on years like rocks
Collected by days on the beach
Sushi, the late nights, and the wasting of hours
Is it real? Is it fake?
Is it all just a phase?
And is it over? And is it okay?
Do we know if there's any other way?
Am I useful? Am I sane?
Am I a bird in a gilded cage?
Am I supposed to be feeling this way?
And are we just throwing it all down the drain?
Is it real? Is it fake?
Is it all just a phase?
Is it over? Is it okay?
Do we know if there's any other, any other way?
Am I useful? Am I insane?
Am I a bird in a gilded cage?
And are we joking? Are we broken?
Am I supposed to be, supposed to be feeling this way?

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley

A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe. Crow Yo
Effervescent pop without a drop of irony, perfectly geared for fans of the more dance-oriented side of indie music and Tears for Fears. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 2, 2023

What a great album. It took me a while to really get the whole album but I can confidently say it's one of her best. The shorter songs are certainly a different feel, but I still like it. I could pick like five different songs as my favorite and all of them would feel right lol praisedrays
