lyrics
BYSTANDER
Am I nervous on purpose?
To render a service
Unelected projected
From a camera, infected
Got a shoeshine on moonshine
One November a bell chimed
Am I nervous on purpose?
It’s a fact don’t react
‘Til the wolf blows down the door
It’s so sad that we have
Everything and still want more
‘Til the wolf blows down the door
Open Season on reason
There’s no truth in the dealing
In the corner the reporter’s
Making chaos out of order
Am I nervous on purpose?
It’s a fact don’t react
‘Til the wolf blows down the door
It’s so sad that we have
Everything and still want more
It’s a fact don’t react
‘Til the wolf blows down the door
‘Til the wolf blows down the door
Bystander
Am I nervous on purpose?
To render a service
Unelected projected
From a camera, infected
Got a shoeshine on moonshine
One November a bell chimed
Am I nervous on purpose?
It’s a fact don’t react
‘Til the wolf blows down the door
It’s so sad that we have
Everything and still want more
‘Til the wolf blows down the door
Open Season on reason
There’s no truth in the dealing
In the corner the reporter’s
Making chaos out of order
Am I nervous on purpose?
It’s a fact don’t react
‘Til the wolf blows down the door
It’s so sad that we have
Everything and still want more
It’s a fact don’t react
‘Til the wolf blows down the door
‘Til the wolf blows down the door

supported by 4 fans who also own “Bystander”
This is the first album I found that really spoke to me as a young fem. From the simplicity, the bass drum, specifically in landfill is so steady and soothing. I love landfill because it perfectly portrays trauma bonds, sexual or romantic relationships rooted in power imbalance. Being led on, unrequited love, constantly being clueless if someone is a real friend, or a lover. Are they yours or are they ruthlessly rogue. Untameable. Love and hate are such similar feelings, and they often mingle.
