lyrics
The ‘you’ in this song is a real person
Not just some abstract figment of an overactive imagination
A documentation of scars from an old home
Innumerable cuts all too close to the bone
You exiled two sons to be lord of your manor
Rearranging home furnishings to in some way placate your anger
A nameless kind of fury at some invisible population
All of whom you hold responsible for your current shit situation
And I know that when you hear this you’ll want to retaliate and attack
Well go shout at the cats, mate
They don’t answer back.
You hit my brother
Cus he saw straight through
Your bullshit and bluster
I think it scares you that he’s not scared of you
Now your wife’s working weekends to pay for your mistakes
That, and to ensure when he’s at home her second born is safe
Now I can’t help but wonder why she doesn’t up and leave
I guess that must be the kind of dependency abusive relationships breed
You hit my brother
Cus he saw straight through
Your bullshit and bluster
I think it scares you that he’s not scared of you
But as for our mother
Sadly, I don’t think that’s true
And if you really loved her
You would have never put her through the things that you’ve put her through

I feel like I could have written this song while with my ex. It is so bitingly truthful, holding back none of the bitter reality of feelings that a toxic relationship establishes. The build up of vocalization is spitting, heartwrenching and really brings the lyrics to their fullest emotional potential.
Can’t describe how much I love the juxtaposition of extremes recurring throughout this album, both lyrically and thematically. izze32
Across their second full-length, the London post-punks offer up thrumming motoriks, industrial tones, and sullen sing-a-longs in abundance. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 17, 2024
The soaring arcs of post-rock, the punchy rhythms of post-hardcore, and the jagged lines of post-punk all join on the latest from Aversions. Bandcamp New & Notable May 2, 2023
Noisy Siberian post-punk with mathcore's sense of inventive tempo and vocals that nearly howl with urgent insistence. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 27, 2023
