lyrics

I was a child. When were you one too? And were you sick as a child too? By the sound of your (shh! shh!) dead name? (shh! shh!) No one knew.

I was a child stuck in tropic white sands. In Philadelphia, I was derelict and high back then. I was trying to wreck my name back then. It was then I heard your record and decided to steal your dead name.

Because struggling with my namesake was way harder than keeping myself in the heart of it.

I thought I was boring to you,
I thought I was controversial 
I thought I was boring to you ,
I thought I was circumstantial

I was a child stuck in the remnants of your old house. In Olympia, it was raining on me and I did not want it stop. It was then I decided to take my shirt off in the middle of the street where no one saw me steal your dead name.

Because struggling with your namesake was such a precious thing for me to miss out on, while struggling with my own namesake left me with no ending, no glory, just a slow resounding story on:

How turns out I was boring to you !
When i thought I was controversial !
Turns out I was boring to you ,
only ever circumstantial.

you were  a child 
crying  
on a beach  
in philly 
while i was 
struggling with  
my namesake 
whilst struggling  with
your name

To See the Next Part of the Dream
by Parannoul

supported by 5 fans who also own “NAMESAKE”

Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too. Lu

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic
