What a FASCINATING song. Like not just the subject matter, but the whole structure of the thing. Missing rhymes, skipped beats, your voice shifting into strange cadences for singular lines, and the explosive ending, it's all so peculiar in the best way possible. Your style has changed so much, but really, all the good parts are still there.

the sudden transition between the bossa nova-esque beat to the hard rock at 3:12 literally sent chills down my spine, what a great song so far ive noticed that a recurring instrument so far between cicada days and tomcat disposables has been the guitar! not sure if its something that is gonna stick for the whole new album, but it surely has a different vibe compared to the other piano-heavy songs that will wood has :D

I love how you can either read this as a pretty run-of-the-mill love song about someone you long to see again, *OR* as a scathing and brutally-realistic wake-up call about how humanity is destroying nature beyond repair. Explanation for those curious: 1.) The lines, "God knows crying ain't gonna change a thing" and "Do nothing, nothing works" refer to how we keep crying about pollution (etc) but can't seem to actually make any big changes happen. 2.) "But I take more than I bring" and "The seasons of cicada days we can't make up" refers to how for every well-intended thing we do for the environment, someone else does 100x the damage. 3.) The imagery at 3:13 pretty much says it all. That was the point where I realized I'm not just reading too deeply into this. 4) The song ends with an uplifting message, that "it works if you work it... one day at a time," because we _still_ can salvage what we can. Sent off with the message, "Tomorrow's too late, Amen" because we shouldn't wait even another day to take action.

The greener grass grows where the wildfires fertilize With ashes of sparrows, peppered moths, and butterflies Ghosts of trees and termites bloom in the beanstalk And if you get lightheaded when standing too fast Is it from shaking out the weight of phosphenes And past salt deposits on warm little rivers that burst from our words And God knows crying ain't gonna change a thing She said take care But I take more than I bring She said "It just feels inhumane to lose this much Because when you leave you know you takе more than your love" Just one week of cicada days, wе're losing touch And I know it just feels inhumane to lose this much Our nerves were braided under ceiling stars That were all glow in the dark, hanging over queen-sized Purple waves of ancient chemicals just whisper! Did you ever build with those endangered bones? Well, the ground looks soft enough to bury this now! Oh, please, oh no! And then my sponsor said "Do nothing, nothing works" And then my doctor said "Don't do that if it hurts!" She said "It just feels inhumane to lose this much Because when you leave you know you take more than your love" The seasons of cicada days, we can't make up And I know it just feels inhumane to lose this much Let all my red flags fade to white, yeah, I give up! Don't let me leave, I'll only take more than I gave Okay, I'll pack my stuff Here at the end of days, my god, what have I done!? Christ, now it feels damn inhumane to get all I've dreamed of Keep coming back, it works if you work it So work it, you're worth it, it won't if you don't One day at a time, tomorrow's too late, amen

@afineegg1040 2 года назад

I used to have a fear of cicadas specifically. I remember one summer as a child, the cicadas were out and playing their droning tune, and I was playing outside, as it was the style at the time. Well I come to this bush, see, and after one thwack with a stick I was carrying, BOOM! A cicada flew out of it and landed right on my face. I remember the sting of its carapace against my forehead, and I remember seeing its eyes, its face, so close to mine that he could practically knock on the windows to my soul. It lingered there for a while, its creepy orbs looking at me, observing me, before finally flying off. And it scarred me for a while. Growing up, I hated them. When I'd see the shells from their molting times I would freak out and crush them. I hated the sound of their droning. Heck, I still think they're kinda gross, but actually watching the molting as an adult? It's kinda magical. Kinda beautiful. Just kinda, though. If you're still reading, I hope you have a lovely day. A lovely month, a lovely year. Hell, a lovely life. That person you're thinking about asking out? Talk to them. That hobby you're thinking about picking up? Get started on it. Fill your heart with love if you can. There's always gonna be someone rooting for you.

@UserStillLoading Год назад

I like to imagine that when he was thinking of ideas for songs, he heard a cicada, and thinks to himself, "Would that sound good?" Fast forward a day or so, he hears them again, runs outside, finds one and while its making it's noise he just yells at it, "YOU ARE GOING TO BE A SONG. NOW."

@liazdias636 3 месяца назад

I have such an odd connection and meaning with this song. I just got out of an incredibly abusive relationship (on both parts), and this has been such a comfort and helpful song to hear. I suffer from Borderline Personality Disorder, and that makes relationships really hard. She didn’t want to break up with me, but no matter how addicted I was to her and how much I loved her, my own trauma’s and issues rubbed off on her so much. And that’s okay, because people should always take care of themselves before others, even when she was the one saying “and it just feels inhumane to lose this much”. Going into a relationship with BPD is like knowing you will ruin it all, and that part is what I feel like this song is about, atleast to me. But even though “tomorrow’s too late”, there’s always a chance to fix things while they’re still happy and going on. Will Wood Is a genius artist and this song will always resonate with me, no matter what meaning you take from it.

I've had a really, really rough couple of years up until now, not just with COVID but with my brother's brain cancer and mother's passing the year after. Every year's been shit, and I've been diagnosed with MDD and PTSD. I've been in bad places, the lowest of my lows, and a few months ago, during a time where I felt absolutely numb to everything... I found out about your music. I listened, and it's honestly changed my whole life. These songs have the kind of passion in them that I used to have, and want to have again. The talent and the passion and the effort put into these... the look back onto your own troubles with life throughout your older albums and how they've evolved into this piece of work- just thinking about how much heart was poured into this really helps me feel a little less terrible and a little less alone. Some of these songs struck chords so deep inside me, they make me feel alive again, even if that means I cry every time I listen to Tomcat Disposables. I really can't describe how much your music matters to me. It's made me want to live. I look forward to the new album, Will. Thanks for everything you've done for all of us.

I can’t stop playing this song. I wish I could personally thank him for releasing this, especially at this time. Leaving someone you love is one of the hardest things to do. The guilt you feel afterwards is so terrible and gut-wrenching and I feel like he just depicted it so well. I don’t regret leaving her, but it doesn’t mean that I don’t feel bad. It’s so easy to forget what healthy relationships feel like when you’ve been dealing with one so painful for so long.

@pinakamamahal 11 месяцев назад

this song honestly means the world to me, especially the whole "explosion" as a commenter somewhere here had called it. i have borderline personality disorder and going through situations with partner after partner, and watching it all crash down and begging them not to leave because i'll "only take more than i gave" but having to leave anyway is shattering, and this song perfectly embodies any kind of meltdown i have during depressive and mood episodes. gentle acoustic and vocals alone accompanied by a voice that isn't straining, yelling, or anything, it's just singing, and then watching the background music slowly change as will's voice becomes more upset and the "bzzz" fading in for a couple seconds before completely exploding into the "aggressive" guitar, the shouting, the everything, and not even a minute later going back to the gentle singing and strumming but definitely not the same. that could be taken exactly as a meltdown for me. it's sickening, almost, but in the best way possible. i've always loved will wood's music anyway, too. from when he was in bands to when he was making songs with the label that's just his name, i was there. honestly i think this song is the best thing to ever happen to me.

@sadpianist5846 2 года назад

I know that these songs have several meanings to them, maybe some more intended than others... But I kinda want to talk about some personal meaning of this for me. As someone who went through so much trauma (like many other people) I find it really odd that people would tell me that, well, "it's inhumane" that it happened to me. As the lyrics say, the ashes of burned trees and animals can make it better for new plants to grow, but then unhealed trauma can make you burn it all again, cause sustaining a healthy ecosystem is sometimes too much. Sometimes trauma can make you believe you don't deserve anything you've worked for, and even though you are a "better person" because of it, does not erase the fact that it was built on ashes. So deep, deep down, the regrets, the worst parts of you are consuming your soul from the inside and they make you want to give up. It's a meaning that I got the first couple of times when I heard it, and I'll surely change my mind listening to the song more, but it's just something I wanted to share.

@duskstorm3560 2 года назад

I only just recently found Will Wood because of Tomcat Disposables, but I've been a fan of a person who happens to coincidentally be named "Shady Cicada" for a while, so, when I saw this recommended, I almost thought it was a collab. It's still a vibe nonetheless!

I don’t know if this was the intended message, but this really connected with me in terms of climate grief just the initial sadness of knowing that the planet is in decline… to the gradual setting in of learned helplessness, realising that you can do very little to impact the world personally (and the global solutions are unlikely to be instated)… to an overall resignation and despair, wondering if it would be better to ignore it altogether (as, assuming it’s hopeless, you should at least prioritise your metal well-being)… then the associating guilt (as to ignore the situation would be selfish/ignorant)… and then the escalation of that guilt, believing that, considering the fact the main cause is humanity, the world would be literally better with you gone (and therefore any and all strives toward personal fulfilment would be inherently selfish and undeserved) - but simultaneously killing yourself would be perhaps worse (as you’d essentially be leaving everyone else with a problem you were too lazy to solve) I am very familiar with the kind of spiral that comes from climate grief… and it generally emerges as just contempt/spite not only for the state of the world, but for everything you do while aware of how bad things are going (with every action being interpreted as futile/harmful… and every inaction being interpreted as selfish/lazy) like, maybe I’m biased because climate change is a main source of panic for me (although the nature/wildfire imagery seems to align with that message), but this just really spoke to me

Watched this video exactly one year ago today and recreated the moment Sat on the same spot at the edge of my bed, clicked the video at exactly 8.11 this morning, and watched intently. The song sounds just as fresh as the first listen precisely 365 days later. It does not get old. At all. I love this song and happy birthday to it

@silvercandra4275 Год назад

I kept ignoring this song for the most part, but now, after having broken up with an abusive partner not too long ago, I absolutely feel this. "let all my red flags fade to white, yeah I give up" and "it just feels damn inhumane to get all I've dreamed of" hit especially close to home... I was what kept everything going for as long as it did, and eventually just completely gave up and accpeted defeat, and while my ex has basically given up on life, I'm suddenly being gifted everything I ever wanted, and just sitting here, still feeling like I don't deserve it. Absolutely love it when I find songs that manage to communicate the complex things I can't get out... Makes everything feel less lonely.

Lyrics - The greener grass grows where the wildfires fertilize With ashes of sparrows, peppered moths, and butterflies Ghosts of trees and termites bloom in the beanstalk And if you get lightheaded when standing too fast Is it from shaking out the weight of phosphenes and pasts Salt deposits on warm little rivers that burst from our words And god knows crying ain't gonna change a thing She said "take care," but I take more than I bring She said "It just feels inhumane to lose this much" Cause when you leave, you know you take more than your love Just one week of cicada days we're losing touch And I know it just feels inhumane to lose this much Our nerves were braided under ceiling stars, they were all Glow-in-the-dark, hanging over queen-sized Purple waves of ancient chemicals Just whisper Did you ever build with those endangered bones? Well the ground looks soft enough to bury this now Oh please, oh no And then my sponsor said "Do nothing. Nothing works" And then my doctor said "Don't do that if it hurts" She said "It just feels inhumane to lose this much" Cause when you leave, you know you take more than your love The seasons of cicada days we can't make up And I know it just feels inhumane to lose this much Let all my red flags fade to white, yeah, I give up Don't let me leave, I'll only take more than I gave. Okay, I'll pack my stuff Here at the end of days, my god, what have I done? Christ now it feels damn inhumane to get all I've dreamed of Keep coming back, it works if you work it So work it, you're worth it, it won't if you don't One day at a time, tomorrow's too late, amen

@comicalsquaress 6 месяцев назад

Will Wood’s artistic evolution could actually be documented into a show and I’d watch it. The fact he went from the craziness and chaotic songs in EIAL to the soft and Down-to-Earth nature of In case I die, it just shows so much growth, especially for Will Wood as both an character but also as an artist. This song shows this evolution perfectly IMO. I really like this lmao.

@Geekwithapencil2048 2 года назад

This just-reminds me of that amazing summer last year, when the cicadas that had gone into the ground the year I was BORN finally came out and started flying around. It was...almost surreal, turning into an adult and practically growing up alongside these insect friends I never knew I had. And they were EVERYWHERE-it was like they drowned out the entire neighborhood and-as loud as it got, I will NEVER forget how awe-inspiring it felt.

@CorvidCastle 2 года назад

I was wondering if the line "And then my doctor said 'Don't do that if it hurts.'" was a reference to the old joke where the patient says "doctor it hurts when I do this" and the doctor says "then don't do that," and when I looked up the lyrics on genius, I saw your annotation saying exactly that! In addition to the smug satisfaction of Getting A Reference, that line really makes me smile (even though it's uh. not exactly a happy line) because it reminded me that my grandfather, who passed away a couple years ago, used to tell that stupid joke all the time (he had like. three jokes that he would just tell all the time. this one he would often do as a sort of routine with my older brother where he was the patient and my brother was the doctor)

@marinao4412 2 года назад

the end verse seems to pair with the intro of "the first step," the backwards serenity prayer and the normal "keep coming back..." spiel. despite the sadder tone, it feels much more optimistic, which is fitting for a song from an album called "in case I make it" juxtaposed with a song whose chorus is about being unable to see the glass as half full. growth!

With cicadas symbolising change I really think this song can speak to the fact that change is painful sometimes and the balance between taking and giving during that change can get a little out of wack. Change is hard but it's just one day at a time, even if that change feels world ending. That's at least what I got out of it, love your work Will, keep doing what makes you happy!
