about

You feel bored even when you are surrounded by beautiful things, or surrounded by terrible things you could fight with activism. You constantly plan things in your head. You have imaginary arguments. You cannot focus on anything other than that next date, that next piece of gear, that next drink, that next show.

lyrics

SEE THROUGH

Beautiful aspen trees, I hate to say it,
but I’m thinking it—when will I find something new?
Trembling aspen leaves, I love you so much,
but you’ve become a thing I’ve seen before and I’m fucking bored.

It’s pathetic, but I’m bored.
I hate myself for this, but it can’t be changed.
I’m fucking bored. Kill me. I’m bored.
I’m ok, it’s not the worst place, but I’m fucking bored—kill me.

Little bugs down in the roots, to you the grass is trees.
I used to love these star-filled thoughts, these frog’s eggs,
but right now I just don’t care.
Please show me what I need aspen trees—is it a drink, is it a show?
Maybe I’ve been doing my favourite things too much,
I do things over and over,

I see through. I see through to the next thing.
I’m so fucking bored. It’s pathetic, I hate myself.
I see through to the next thing. I see through to the next thing.

When will I find something new? Who made me this way?
When will I find something fucking new? Who made me this way?
Was it grandpa and dad with all the endless yardwork,
never spending any money, working as much as you can—
who made me this way? When will I find something new?
Who made me this way? I wanna change the world,
but all I can see is the next thing. All I give a fuck about
is the next thing. Who made me this way?

I wanna change the world, but I’m always, I’m always a little bit,
a little bit ahead of everything. Who made me this way?
I wanna change the world, but I can’t. Who made me this way?
I’m a little ahead of everything. I rarely even notice that I’m here,
I’m back here, I’m back here, don’t forget about me.
I’m so bored. Please, don’t forget about me.
