LYRICS
i did a bunch of drugs before i turned 21
ate two tabs once a week for a whole month straight 
don’t know if i remember what i looked like back then
when i said yes stood still head down took the bait

now enough time has passed for me to know what the fuck was up
introducing her royal highness, it’s me — i’m a royal screw up
i drive around listening to soccer mommy 
whisper i’m so sorry 
to the girl you ate alive 

and i’m not sure when it changed but i’m bored of being ashamed
i danced myself clean and i own a denim jacket now
my plants are still alive but the jade i got around you has long died
some things just suck
they aren’t always lessons either 

now enough time has passed for me to know what the fuck was up
introducing her royal highness, it’s me — i’m a royal screw up
i drive around listening to soccer mommy 
whisper i’m so sorry 
to the girl you ate alive

now enough time has passed for me to know what the fuck was up
introducing her royal highness, it’s me — i’m a royal screw up
i drive around listening to soccer mommy 
whisper i’m so sorry 
to the girl you ate alive

I've been dreading the next part
I know you’re caught between
I know your revery
I know your apathy
When I come home I wonder who you’ll be
Are we halfway crooks
Sugarcoat my looks
How can you be free when you’re only half the things
You have one foot out the door
We could have been so much more 
You have one foot out the door
I know we aren’t cool anymore
Your elastic heart in your little kingdom
Never there
Never tears
Never seems to care
You have one foot out the door
We could have been so much more 
You have one foot out the door
Why do I come back for more
It’s the way you move me

Letting Up Despite Great Faults is an American indie dreampop band from Los Angeles, CA and Austin, TX. Making their mark with their acclaimed debut album (self-titled 2009) and Untogether (2012), they carved out a little corner of the dreampop world with their take on electronic shoegaze and indiepop jangle. After taking a hiatus which songwriter Mike Lee hails as their time to "become real adults," they came back to their familiar form with IV (2022). Gearing up for their next release, Reveries, we hear them push forward and further like never before, exploring new sounds and structure with a mature patience and confidence emblematic of "real adults." Now inspired by vastly different genres from drum 'n' bass to post-punk to K-pop, their version of dreampop has become larger and simultaneously very refined. Meticulously mixed by the amazing Melina Duterte (Jay Som), the new album Reveries yet again shows Lee wearing it all on his sleeve.

Touring U.S. in Spring 2025 and Asia in Summer 2025.
