lyrics
Apparently our wellbeing isn’t a given right but is in a state which is transient
And I’m a fucking idiot; I got run over by the last remaining ambulance
My ersatz ego transplant made me happy for a while
But then I wound up in a two mile queue
Outside the hospital waiting room
And I stood there with a bride and groom
Who couldn’t afford
To abort
The baby in her womb
To cut the deficit they’ll cut our throats
To balance the budgets they will break our bones
For their own benefit they’ll crush our hope
Why don’t they just gas the polling chambers as we line up to…
Now I’m renting out my kneecaps to oligarchs as ashtrays
And I won’t get those cruciate ligaments back for another dozen pay-day loans
It’s so roomy in the private wing; they’ve got all the ventilators
But please don’t take this as chagrin, no
It’s just a fact of nature
We were born into the wrong class, into the wrong skin
Our leaders
Have
Every right
To hate us
To cut the deficit they’ll cut our throats
To balance the budgets they will break our bones
For their own benefit they’ll crush our hope
Why don’t they just gas the polling chambers as we line up to…
Why don’t they just gas the polling chambers as we line up to…

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
