The wrong choices we make can be painful. It is often said, that the pain is part of a learning process. The wiser we get, the more we can avoid hurting ourselves.
lyrics
Four long years of ups and downs,
A vortex of irreconcilable things.
Kept believing, all will work out fine,
Like a cheesy plot in a manga story.
Ideals made me look like a fool.
Can’t really blame my youth at this point.
When you realized that you’ve been played,
Wisdom will kick in sooner or later.
Experience made me grow strong.
Friends and family are silver and gold.
I’ll never ever repeat the same mistake,
Of holding on tight like you wanted.
‘Cause I held on as tight as I could before,
But the only pressure I felt then,
Was that of my own strained fingers,
Slowly collapsing on
Still numb hands
Still lifeless hands
Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too. Lu
