november 2021 mixtape

Although “End of the World” isn’t Gulfer’s first pandemic song, it’s their first that explores our collective adaptations to new realities. Over intricate call and response guitars that seem to fold in on themselves, Vincent Ford sings of themes parallel to the end of the world: selective memory holes; playing with fire without a care for consequence; and finding your own new ways to cope and just get through the day. End times be damned, “End of the World” is decidedly more melodic than punk, with hooks that demonstrate the band’s ability to write songs on any part of the experimental rock spectrum. Its keenly constructed rhythms keep Gulfer’s compositions unpredictable and inventive, perhaps a figurative mirror in which the band can optimistically see a way out of the impending end of the world.

Moving By Backwards

Go Run

lyrics:

ivy— baby—
sweetheart—
you’re so insecure:
taking back your words.

Oh, lover—
loveless— 
take me, take me by my hair;
take me to your lair.

Oh, ivy— sweetheart—
daydream—
speechless ain’t your thing;
tell me what you need.

hey-hey ivy— honey— 
daydream—
fill me with your needs;
I don’t need to breathe.

Oh, I understand, always understand. 
What’s the problem?

Oh, I understand, always understand. 
What’s the problem?

Hold-up, 
I get it.
I know that you meant it.

The distance between us,
the size of a planet.

It could have been nothing—
slow motion discussion.

I wake up with nothing.

(i wanna)
(i gotta)

(get away).

lyrics:

Over the line, we think twice. 
“It’s not the way,” they say, 
But it will have to do. 
And, I’ll speak to you in time. 

I’ll be on my best, for sure. 
You can rest assured-- 
Til’ seven’s day. 
These are not the blades of grass 
That you came for (at last). 

And the pain, it subsides 
With the weight of all your 
White lies. 

I’ll be on my best, for sure. 
You can rest assured-- 
Til’ seven’s day.

seven's day

lyrics:

So won’t you please, 
(my) be my, be my (my) 
My, one and only baby.

be my baby

lyrics:

Trapped in a club, 
I couldn’t unsee. 
Broke but not dumb, 
Feel free to buy me. 

He says “peace & love,” 
my ride’s around here. 
I’m trapped in a club, 
“Help get me out please.” 

So what if your friend 
is the DJ. 
I tried to pretend, 
I really ”needed.” 

The floor is all wet, 
With their delusion. 
I’m trapped in a club, 
“Help get me out please.” 

I slipped into your arms. 
I never want to leave. 
Change can be for them. 
I’m trapped up in a club.

trapped in a club

Keepin' up old ways
Expectin' different things

You can't say the words
You can't say the words

Off, off and on

Talkin' face to face
Feel but feelings change

I can't say the words
I can't say the words


Off, off and on

Hustled out of there
Fell right down the stairs

I won't say the words
I won't say the words

Off, off and on

Circle around a hometown
You once knew that you'd never regret
That you left

Is it just our indifference 
Or the distance 
That keeps us on this path?

Outta' sight
Outta' mind

You'll ignore all the signs
How do you like me now?

Off and On

You come on to me 
At a cool party 
This is not a test 
This is not a dream 
Take your hand and breathe 
Watch you move around 
Baby you’re movin’ now 

Moving in your white jeans 

Turn me around and around and around and around 
Turn me around and around and around and around 

I can feel your heat 
Coming to me 
Coming to me in waves 
From across the room 
I can barely speak 
So we move around 
Follow your movin’ now 

Moving in your white jeans 

Turn me around and around and around and around 
Turn me around and around and around and around 

You came onto me 
At a cool party 
Everyone starts to leave 
It’s just you and me 
Baby, just you and me 
So we move around 
Both of us movin’ now 
-- movin’ now 

Moving in your white jeans

White Jeans

I don’t know the reason for it
Explanations, texts ignoring
I get drunk my mind is soaring (soaring)

I can say one thing for certain
That’s that everything I worded
Though it seems so slurred and portioned (portioned)

I really meant that I loved ya
I meant it that I loved ya
I really meant that I loved ya
I meant it that I loved ya

REALLY MEANT

My world 
Goes soft
Before the storm

Don’t want
To run
All of me stuck

Oh, what a rush
Watching everything around me 
Come undone

I step right up
No one to watch me dive and 
Touch the bottom

Stuck in a rut
Waiting patiently to draw my ace of cups

Oh, it was rough

My friends don’t even recognize my face
Watch me fade away

Falling everywhere but into place
Scared to show my face
