Man, I'm so happy penelope scott has been making some new songs ocassionally. When I found her, and for a few years after, I kinda thought there'd never be more.
I know Sin Eaters pretty well. But I love Gross!! It hits differently. To view yourself as the burden in the relationship really hit close to home, especially that line "I hate it most when they're kind When they have meaningful lives And I'm the awful one standing next to them" Hit hard like a gunshot to the head, love it!
Fuck these past two albums hit so hard after a hard breakup when you still cant stop daily thinking about your ex after half a year has passed. This song explains me in the ways id never wish for enyone to feel. Thanks Penelope, heartwretching album again
Lyrics: It was so easy with you So salty and gross Made me feel clean by comparison It was a tongue in my mouth And a fire in my house It made me look so innnocent I'm never gonna feel good again I've played this game all the way to the ends Look at this stupid little song for you You're pretty good at this game too I wish I didn't miss you Or that I liked you at all I wish I had the guts to fuck my own life up I wish I had your set of balls But I'm a chemical compound I'm just the ring you take off I'm just the nice little girl you fake it with Before you go make it work with the one that you love I drink my dumb little drinks Act like you care what i think Or like i really wanna get to know you Give everybody a chance Put on my make up and dance Say things like "I'll do anything for you" Don't I look good in this dress In this whole manicured mess I look phenomenal but only to you - oh It's even worse than you think I'm watching everything And I'll die before I tell you the truth I'm never gonna feel good again I've played this game through the ends One more stupid little song for you You're better than you thought at this too I wish I never met you Or that I wanted you still I wish I had the guts to fuck my own life up I wish you just come over and kill me But I'm your chemical compound I'm just the ring you take off I'm just the nice little girl you fake it with Before you go make it work with the one that you love And I don't even resent that Do you get that i don't even object I don't mind what you meant But then how dare you express Whatever brand of respect this is When I made sure that we both know I'm a mess I hate it most when they're kind When they have meaningful lives And I'm the awfful one standing next to them It was an earnest suggestion A real connection Every part of me poses a threat to them And if you're mean then they'll laugh Like they don't unnderstaand If you got it, you would fucking go home Say that you want me still Or that I'm mentally ill Or I'm just a bitch But you'll never know I'm never gonna feel good again I've played this game through the ends I'll pull the plug or I'll wait it out But i don't need you around I wish I never met you I wish I wasn't a waste I wish I had the guts to f my own life up Or the heart to set myself straight But I'm a chemical compound You're just the gun in my mouth If you'd stop romanticising who I am at parties You'd found your way out I wish I weren't a liar I wish that I could be kind I wish that I could trust you That things would turn out fine But I'm a chemical compound I'm just a flash in your hand And if you don't wanna play, just say so And you'll never have to see me again
This hits hard, but not after a breakup. It hits hard after someone who promised to not leave you and knew that others left too also left and you don’t know if you’re in the right or you’re in the wrong and you’re just making yourself think you’re okay. You just want to have no one leave again but then you come of as obsessive and even more people leave.
thank god this one sounds so nice with a mix between the heavy tech instrumentals and the actual sound of your voice, that's what i love about this kind of music, it can lean into hyperpop and still have authenticity without excessive autotune sound
Oooo, the change to a less digitized voice was a great surprise! Sitting here at the bar listening. This was the mood i needed tonight at the bar tonight
I relate to this but in a health sort of sense, I miss when I was happy and younger “I’m never gonna feel good again, I’ve played this game all the way to the end.”
I love this song the rhythm the lyrics everything is just perfect❤ the ending was my absolute favorite. You’re just so honest about every lyric, and not afraid to hide it.
God I just found this song and I don’t wanna get into specifics but it’s uncanny how heard I feel by this song. The line “I’m just the next little girl you fake it with before you go make it work with the one that you love” FUCK
I feel song so deeply. Not getting attached to a person themselves, but a romanticized version of them and doing/saying everything you can to make them stay, but for whatever reason they're not who you think and always end up leaving. Maybe thats just me though
