This is an exercise in hyperbole, catharsis, epiphany and a few other Greek words that I'm too much in love with, including Euterpe.
lyrics
missives resplendent with shining guitars
bridges that bring you back to yourself
i could not have wished you a greater bounty
i could not have given you all of this wealth
and it's been such a long time, a long time coming
you've battled your demons, your devils so long
i wish at least i could've held your banner
you are Joan, Elizabeth, Boudica, God
you suffer these slings and destiny arrows
they've rained down upon you for so long it's just noise
these lists you make and you free to the ether
protect, project your sorrows and joys
these lists you make have unmade me
they carry truth beneath their facade
your madness is wisdom, just takes time to see it
you are Joan, Elizabeth, Boudica, God
i have remade you
you have remade me
your silence the poison
your silence the cure
Ouroborus hemlock
Orphean refrains
your silence the thorn
your silence the balm
you may not believe me but i think you do
methinks that this lady doth protest a bit too much
yeah, 3 in the morning ain't no time for phone calls
but why do you keep on calling my name?
you cannot refuse what's offered up freely
you can only keep quiet, keep to yourself
but i am patient, i seek such divinity
you are Joan, Elizabeth, Boudica, God
The guitarist's debut for Ba Da Bing is a captivating synthesis of and expansion on all of her recent outings, its avant-pop ditties underscored by personal vulnerability. Bandcamp Album of the Day Oct 15, 2020
