lyrics
I’m so glad I’m not your pet
When dogs start shitting in the house
It’s time to put them down
Time to put them out of their misery
So what happens when incontinence arrives
At the same time as the 10 different pills I have to take each night just to get to sleep?
What does that mean for me?
Should I still be here?
If the fork becomes too heavy and my dentures start to slip
Please syphon all my food and fluid through an IV drip
And do you know what
I’ve never been that fussed about walking that much anyway
And I’m not bothered by all the appointments and the prodding and the x-rays
Just don’t let me breathe my last breath
I know it’s pretty bad but there’s no fate worse than death
You’ll have to learn CPR in case I pass out from laughing too hard
And you might have to spare a kidney if you want to hold on to me
As for me, I’ll just keep
Ignoring all the tunnels and lights
And cross my fingers for another night
The old man says ‘it’s not my time yet!’
To a son with a gun and a look of solemn resignation

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

In a more perfect world, this band would blaring out of every radio on Earth. The lyrics, the vocals, the just-outta-teens snark and earnestness... so much to love. paulimboden
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
