about

A funny thing happened when the album cover art was made. I realized that I quite liked it, but that it didn't necessarily fit all the songs on the album I had at that point. At the time, I still hadn't settled on a name for the album and I had a batch of songs that very distinctively seemed to fall into two categories: the über goth and the über pop-goth.

I was debating upon making two smaller releases, but when I saw the album art, compliments of Rebekah Pascouau, I really wanted to write this song. Partway through writing it, I felt that I had written one of the catchier songs of the album and also one that could serve to bridge the gap between the goth and the pop and serve as the transition in the middle of the album. Because it took a lot from both realms and helped reconcile the album as a whole, I decided to give it the honor of "title-track." If this were released on vinyl, it would be the first song on side-b, which would be nice because I felt happy with the depressing "journey" that the first seven songs before it seemed to be achieving.

lyrics

Waves x5

In time and sound,
our worlds crash down;
passing moments, hate profound.
The sand and sea,
my memories,
in your disinterest I drown.

Waves

I hear you crawling through the seas,
choking back the ocean.
I cling to my disease.
I won't live to love again.

Waves x3

I felt the touch,
you to me
soft like down around my heart
Me to you:
the weights around your waste
dragging you down

Waves x2

I hear you crawling through the seas,
choking back the ocean.
I cling to my disease.
I won't live to love again.
Forever with me,
frozen in the water, statues in time.
we take our breaths and then we die.
and I feel control again..

Waves x 2

I hear you crawling through the seas,
choking back the ocean.
I cling to my disease.
I won't live to love again.
Forever with me,
frozen in the water, statues in time.
we take our breaths and then we die.
and I feel control again..
