corbyy Simply ethereal. Nandi’s songwriting never ceases to amaze me—so intimate and thorough. Cannot wait to hear even more from this amazing artist! Favorite track: Know Your Body.

Feral Phoenix deeply relatable lyrics and flairs of melody & instrumentation that i wish i got to hear more of in modern music. i often see half waif's music described as pelagic and murky and i think that's accurate to the Aesthetic. water has a lot of moods and visuals and this album spans a lot of them, from glittery salt flats to inky ocean deeps. (it's so cool.) Favorite track: Tactilian.

Desperado 01:33
Nobody knows whatever happened. Was it a ghost? Was it an accident? Nobody knows where he was going. To a faraway coast Where it's already snowing?

Nest 03:57
Gathering the papers: Gonna make you a nest. For you, my love, Only the very best. Quiet the machines: I'm gonna give you a rest. For you, my love, Only the very best. On the boat, you are rocking, I am watching far away. Close my eyes; when they open, You have fallen in the waves. Grab your wrist, feel the life drain Right out of your veins. Never mind, I'll keep pulling 'Til I know that you're safe. Gathering the ashes, Gonna take whatever's left. I only know how to love you the best. On the day that you weaken, All your energy will fade. Close your eyes; when they open, I will offer you a stage. Don't you cry, I'll keep watching 'Til I know that you're safe.

Turn me around again... We separate. I'm tired of my own breath. I'm tired of the sound that I make when I respirate. Wrestlin with the tigers within me And don't know which one I will feed when We separate. And then you turn me around again. You turn me around again. Come down, turn me around. I don't even know what I'm here for. Listenin - I'm tired of my own breath. I'm tired of the sound that I make when We separate. And then you turn me around again. You turn me around again.

Exquisite probable depths. Here I reside on the lip of the outer edge, Hugging myself to my chest, Every breath meaning less than the last. A toe in the folds of a wheel. I'll make a design to appeal to your wounded mind. Heaven knows how it'll feel When the wheel unwinds. It's time to dive. Don't believe the golden light That appears in your eyes. (These canyons, these chasms have their lies.) Don't believe the golden light that appears. (I believed.) I wish I hadn't.

Overthrown 04:07
So the self I've known is overthrown. You should know not to place Too much blame - our fade is slow. I kiss your face and I know just what that shows. But the lie is my bread and I bet nobody knows. I tore the lily from its branches. You've given me too many chances. Quiet now, I'm so quiet... Quiet now, I'll be quiet... But the lamp stutters off: When it comes back, then I'll be caught. But the lie is my bread And I bet I'll never have enough. I tore the lily from its branches. You've given me too many chances. Quiet now, I'm so quiet... Quiet now, I'll be quiet...

Stutter Stop 03:41
Stutter stutter stop I trip over my legs I feel a sudden shock. Stutter stutter stop I trip over my legs I feel it in my heart. Neon surging through me, It riddles me with holes. Stutter stutter stop I trip over my legs I cannot keep up. Stutter stutter stop, The falling of the land I feel a sudden shock. Neon surging through me, It riddles me with holes. Stutter stutter stop The running of the herd They're running me down. Stutter stutter stop I trip over my legs I fear I'll never learn. Neon surging through me, It shatters all my nerves. Bound to the marrow of how it feels-- Anatomy of doubt. Born in the shadow of who I'll be. Can you get me out (of body)?
7.
All around me: I know your body. Sink with me 'Cause I know your body. Forgive me 'Cause I know your body.

Tactilian 04:14
What's on my mind in the evening? Tangerines in their skins, Taking their time to be eaten. So cold, so cold. Smoke in my lantern. What's on my mind when the light's out? I don't think you wanna know. Think I'm a bit sick of holding on. A terrible time to be thinking. Think I'd rather undress, Feel the flesh in my fingers. Let it go, let it go, let it pass. Smoke in my lantern. What's on my mind when the light's out? I don't think you wanna know. Think I'm a bit sick of holding on. Then I open the door And I know I'm not gonna be back for a while.
