Amnesia feat. Saiah

Avocado Toast

This is a song of two parts. A few years back, I started to piece together memories of turning up on friends' doorsteps, confused because what I thought was one thing, was actually another. The realization that I’d wasted my time pining after people that never wanted me back. My m.o. was to turn up with an elaborate or very specific gift in order to win the heart of my conquest. Some of these items include: a bonsai tree, an air mattress and a very expensive glass teapot. Only after writing the song did I see the pattern in my attempts. Part two, I had moved on from then and put an ocean in between. If you’ve ever spent any time in East London, you might have heard of the lido, perhaps even been there before. For me, it was a place of reflection where I could mindlessly swim laps and remember the unwanted objects I’d left on doorsteps.

Slow Down

Simple Life (swim good now Remix)

@maybebabs

i saw your ma down at leslie’s wake
i’d hitched a ride there in the middle of a school day
she held me in her arms in my uniform green
looked into her eyes, you were all that I could see

i saw your cousin getting the last train
we were both headed to the exact same place
i felt her reaching out to me to get you
and so I told her i haven’t got a clue
you were already gone before I got the truth

we were in the basement watching simple life on mute
cause your daddy doesn’t like what it does to you
pretty sure he felt that way about me too
i guess that I was different but you were something too

i was there when you were building all your shrines
in your childhood bedroom where we’d spend most of our time
a focus in your eyes I couldn’t comprehend
you were already gone even way back then

i was at the party when the power went out
sworn that I had seen you though it was dark I couldn’t tell
it was just somebody else i wished that you could be
i looked into their eyes you were all that i could see
