about

This song is about my wonderful girlfriend Andrea. It used to be about how I wanted to leave her because I couldn't deal with how much I was starting to like her, and now it's about her and all of her beautiful qualities I admire. I'm struggling with words as I want to be open and vulnerable but I also don't want to reveal anything she wouldn't want me to. But she would want me to be open so here we go. We have a very bizarre relationship. We feel free to be so truly ourselves with each other, which is both beautiful and ugly as we are both loving and damaged. I pushed her away when I started noticing myself turning her into an object of distraction and desire. She then reached into my heart and broke me out of that. I've since turned her into an object of healing and intimacy. This is perhaps worse. We have moments of deep connection where I feel more seen than I have with anyone else. I get to witness her tremendously caring heart in all of its overflowing tenderness. I appreciate these moments so much as they bring me to care for and see another person in the way that I want to: not as an object but as a soul. And then she points out that I'm still doing it. No longer is she an object of desire but a tool for my spiritual development. For fuck's sake, what do I do?! Am I so drowning in our culture of nihilism and utilitarianism that despite my best intentions to genuinely connect I still objectify? Because she's right, in a very deep way I do see her that way. It's not like I'm being selfish, I want her to grow from me too, but now I'm objectifying myself for her. That's the best I've been able to do, but it's not enough. All I can see are tools and purposes but I swear there's more. It must be that my vision is bad and not the world. That there's something I'm missing that I just can't grasp yet. It must be...

lyrics

When the rain hits the forest and the fungi grows
You'll find out there a girl who really does know
that every day's a blessing and every fall's a lesson
You gotta take em as they come and they go

She cuddles with a plush in her starlit slumber
I bathe in her warmth and she holds me under
She's born of the clouds and her presence ain't loud
She holds me like no other

Roving stars they follow you
Shine white light on a broken world
Raise up life from that salted ground you till

You pout like a puppy when we're done with words
You got a collar to match I think my roommates heard
You flash me in the hall and put rainbows on my wall
All while being a fucking nerd

Roving stars they follow you
Shine white light on a broken world
Raise up life from that salted ground you till

You sure got a funny way about
Keeping me honest, making me say aloud
All them things I keep to myself
I'll tell you but nobody else
And when you hit me with that tigress stare
You remind me there's a place for fire
In a world where it's so rare
