    This song reminds me a lot of my teens and early 20s, doing a lot of desperate and dire, unnecessary things to "find yourself". After the fact you realize you always knew who you were but were trying so hard, in vain, to express how you felt to others through actions. In the moment you didn't realize those actions not only misrepresented who you were but also alienated you from those whom you cared about, the people you were trying to get to understand you. That doesn't negate the emotions you were feeling, only that you weren't wise enough to know how to explain them; a tragic paradox that comes with maturity. The entire album feels like memories of important, often failed negotiations between self and reality; each track has this nervous energy and yearning to correct a charged, honest misstep. Reminds me of Mirror by Tarkovsky. A very mature album, glad to have found it.

      I believe they most likely mean the more flat delivery that's characteristic of new wave or shoegaze. It's a part of the style of the music. Sure there's plenty of emotion in the voice, but the vocal delivery is "flatter" than other genres of music. Sounds more detached.

      I mean, you look at all the junk (not all of it, of course) that's been over-the-top successful, and then on the other hand, almost every week I find musicians on the internet who have a certain following, but I'm like, "Oh my god, how awesome is that!" and I wonder why I've never heard of it or only in passing.

      Reading these comments, it appears ppl think the lyrics speak to depression. Maybe. If the words provide solace... Like you, i think the song's about cancer (or ALS or any other horrid, painful, life-effacing neuro/cellular decay). I haven't researched the song's lyrical intent... reality never satisfies fantasy... When the body betrays us, it's very much like Bullets through rotten fruit indeed

    Graceless
    Is there a powder to erase this?
    Is it dissolvable and tasteless?
    You can't imagine how I hate this
    Graceless
    I'm trying, but I'm graceless
    Don't have the sunny side to face this
    I am invisible and weightless
    You can't imagine how I hate this
    Graceless
    I'm trying, but I'm gone
    Through the glass again
    Just come and find me
    God loves everybody, don't remind me
    I took the medicine and I went missing
    Just let me hear your voice, just let me listen
    Graceless
    I figured out how to be faithless
    But it would be a shame to waste this
    You can't imagine how I hate this
    Graceless
    I'm trying, but I'm gone
    Through the glass again
    Just come and find me

      ....[ooops, yep, sorrrrry]..." Just let me hear your voice, just let me listen
      All of my thoughts of you
      Bullets through rotten fruit
      Come apart at the seams
      Now I know what dying means
      I am not my rosy self
      Left my roses on my shelf
      Take the wild ones, they're my favorites
      It's the side effects that save us
      Grace
      Put the flowers you find in a vase
      If you're dead in the mind it will brighten the place
      Don't let them die on the vine, it's a waste
      Grace
      There's a science to walking through windows
      There's a science to walking through windows
      There's a science to walking through windows
      There's a science to walking through windows without you
      All of my thoughts of you
      Bullets through rotten fruit
      Come apart at the seams
      Now I know what dying means
      I am not my rosy self
      Left my roses on my shelf
      Take the wild ones, they're my favorites
      It's the side effects that save us

      Don't let them die on the vine, it's a waste

      Yes. I'm not saying the band is gothic, if that's what you're thinking. Gothic synths are heavily used for the verses and as a support for the bass. Are you familiar with the characteristics of synths? specifically gothic ones?
