about

i said, "you think
that because you're a god, you deserve everything
so you demand love.
but even gods are human in this regard;
even even you cannot steal devotion.
if, truly, you deserved love
it would be your first love's hand you took, not mine.
oh, but dionysus, my husband, where is that boy?
long gone, gored by a bull so beautiful he couldn't help but try to ride it?
so i thought.

you were just children then.
so was i.
if nothing else, we are the same in this;
the bull took everything from us both.

i think about that all the time."

lyrics

I won’t be left behind
I won’t be buried for the dozenth time
I’m saying, I won’t die!
I’m going to live without the starry sky

So spare me your mysteries!
You fatal jewelry…
Your wreathes,
Your hands, that reach down to me
A beast
Who claims he "loves me truly"
I won’t be fleeced
I’m leaving you, see?

I won’t be left behind
No, I won’t be buried for the dozenth time
I’m saying, I won’t die!
I’m going to live without the starry sky

Wife of mischief
Daughter of trouble
Sister, misfit
Devil in the eyes of a devil

Wife of mischief
Daughter of trouble
Sister, misfit
Devil in the eyes of a devil

(wife of mischief) I won’t be left behind
daughter of trouble
(sister, misfit) nah, I won't be buried
devil in the [eyes/arms] of a devil

(wife of mischief) and if this ruin's mine
daughter of trouble
(sister, misfit)
well, it's what I married.

I
won’t
be left
be-
hind
.
I won’t be buried
fo- ⦿r
the dozenth ti-

I cannot explain why I love this album in a coherent way. I can only say that when I listen to these tracks, I feel hope, I feel despair, I feel the weight of gravity push me towards Earth. I feel like a child of space. merox
