There was a time when I tried to hold the ocean in my fists – when I mistook the language for
the light. There was a tightness that gripped my soul and bubbled at my wrists, and choked me
within inches of my life. But now I’m letting go, and I can finally breathe – I can finally breathe.
And my hands are open, reaching out – I’m learning how to live with doubt – I’m learning how to
lean into the grey. ‘Cause I’ve had enough of black and white – I’ll find another way – and I will
lean into the grey. I’ll lean into the grey. There was a time when I tried to bind and bottle up the
sea – I tried to hide my heart inside my head. There was a maze of these vicious lines that cut
through everything – I pulled against them till my body bled. I will find another way – and I will
lean into the grey.
Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!) Mikey
