One Look And My Fingers Are Numb Now.
When I was 19 I had a sort of existential crisis; I dropped out of school, bought a motorcycle, and took off on a 3 month trip roaming the U.S., just couch surfing with strangers and meeting new people in each city. I was reckless; flying down highways and back roads all day long at obscene speeds. I think I was looking for something, but I didn’t really know what it was yet.
I used to listen to this song, “Wrapped In Piano Strings” by Radical Face as I sped over mountains and through the desert on my bike. The wind biting at my face, this fluttering in my chest… it was like I was escaping everything I knew, everything that was familiar. When the climax of the song was approaching, I would put my head down and just completely open up the throttle. The feeling it gave me was one of the most beautiful I have ever felt. It was like a religious experience. It brought me close to tears a few times. For the first time, I saw the world as profoundly beautiful. This song is inspired by that feeling… Escaping the familiar, venturing into the unknown.
~~~~~~
Six words on the tip of my tongue, girl
Never thought I’d get this close
Cause you’re so beautiful
The darkness of your soul
Two friends take a step in the darkness
Won’t you throw me on the ground, grab me by the heels and drag me down down down down
One look and my fingers are numb now
Bring a rope, won’t you tie all your kisses around my throat
Pull me close
Let me know I’m done
I can tell from the smoke in your lungs, girl
You're not alone
I’m terrified by the presence inside your bones
It pulls you down, down, down, down
