lyrics
You're only a hoverfly, disguised as a wasp
If I dared get too close would you sting me?
I don't think you could, even if you tried
Because you're only a hoverfly
It's a dangerous game that you're playing
Maybe one day a crow or a hawk or a bee
Will come to realise that you wear a disguise
And they'll chew you up and spit out your wings
They'll spit out your wings
Because you're only a hoverfly...
You've painted a picture you hold of yourself
And you're working so hard so the paint doesn't fade
But even through layers of colour so bright
Beneath the black and the gold, I can see
That you're only a hoverfly...
I don't know why you want to scare me
I'm just trying to go about my day
Is it some animal instinct?
But you've got no prey, no nest to protect
You've got only your own neck
You're frantically flitting to and fro
Because you don't know where to go
No you've got no place to go
unironic beauty and sincerity is something i am deeply uncomfortable with. i switched to parliament 100s after hearing this record. proceed with caution. 7.7/10 P4ked
Drifting dreampop and snarling grunge, with potent vocals wrapped in gauzy textures one minute, surrounded by jagged riffs the next. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 21, 2023
A hushed and low-lit EP from this Melbourne musician, where dreamlike melodies drift across a bed of tender guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
