lyrics

And though you saw me standing there
With painted cheeks and a blood red stare
And though you watched me fall to wreck
Your grubby fingers round my neck

You try to make yourself forget
Your hands itching with the sweat
Of fear that I am still there
That I still remember

Tears won’t clean your dirty skin
Or wipe the shine from my grin
Your eyes on the water’s reflection
As I dive into the deep end

As I dive into the deep end

And though you dragged me through your mess
I scrubbed the grime of your footsteps
I bore your weight with my own chained feet
As you dangled into the jaws of the street

And you left me
Searching through the demons of your sleep
For some kind of key
You didn’t want to see

Tears won’t clean your dirty skin
Or wipe the shine from my grin
Your eyes on the water’s reflection
As I dive into the deep end

As I dive into the deep end

His Young Heart EP
by Daughter

supported by 4 fans who also own “Dirty Skin”

This is the first album I found that really spoke to me as a young fem. From the simplicity, the bass drum, specifically in landfill is so steady and soothing. I love landfill because it perfectly portrays trauma bonds, sexual or romantic relationships rooted in power imbalance. Being led on, unrequited love, constantly being clueless if someone is a real friend, or a lover. Are they yours or are they ruthlessly rogue. Untameable. Love and hate are such similar feelings, and they often mingle. clementinehatepageichangedmymind
