Lyrics:
the endless space
the monochrome everything
i disappear in the apartment
i’m coasting through
don’t miss the final day
it’s free
it’s fragrant
when did we even stop swimming?
been throwing summers at the walls
you can’t edit the scenery
so are you ready?
up to your knees for the camera
up to your neck for the camera
just swallow
metallic taste
the new enhancements
they’ll keep you safe
what a performance
for new arrivals
an instant sun breaks out
come back
take another look
are you there?
everything you left for
a clean new embrace
stepping into a snapshot
was it all for the story?
show your weaknesses
i suspect a trend
that the lot of them
want you from just reading
are you a page now babe?
should i pay for viewing your faint lookalike?
someone call it off
i’ve caught the germ for our game
never ends never stops
like pain that never starves
you can’t edit the scenery
to view it better
so are you ready?
or are you just up to your eyes for the cameras?
you can’t edit the scenery
you can’t edit the scenery
just to beat
a heartbeat
is a gift
open your eyes for the camera
open your eyes for the camera

[@obstsalat8118]

Saame lets go

[@williamelliott186]

Okay!! I agree!

[@dellabv7132]

ill join

[@jacobTV1]

Probably my favorite song from the album, it stands out from everything they’ve made and she sounds haunting but beautiful

[@shakeontheirown]

can't believe y'all are back. this record and this song is so special.

[@ajiramarija]

i like the way elena talks about the future in her songs and it's true that social media makes making new relationships hard and that because of it people have grown colder and more distant with each other, even if it seems the other way around
i regularly use my social media accounts, i sometimes spend the whole day on my phone because i have no one next to me to talk to, and it's all starting to turn into a bad habit, and it saddens me
btw this song reminds me of her lyric from "crushing": "i guess attention spans are lessening, it's a lesson in humans using machines, to show their feelings"
i love it

[@evgenianovikova1339]

ur so so right omg, especially the reference to crushing

[@Δ-Δ-Δ-Δ]

Thank you for reminding me of Crushing, I had forgotten about Ex:Re 😭😭😭

[@orlandogloom5409]

Why is it that ppl keep preferring to blame machines or anything else but themselves for their own (everyday) choices or experiences?
A phone isn't to blame if we aren't using it right.
Ppl spread various thoughts/mentalities and things online, what they choose to take from the internet and what they give is on them and not the phone.
I've been talking with many kinds of ppl myself and let me tell you that it's not the device that dictates how they'll behave and if they're there to troll and trigger, kill time or actually seek for a friend. It's always them and no matter what a platform pushes it's also them that they subject themselves to it and swallow whatever fits them, and usually mindlessly so, no matter how vigilant they pretend to be (always regarding the opposition and not their own perspectives and rhetorics and mistakes; objectivity doesn't pay off after all ...maybe majority being like this should be blamed on their phones...? ;p). Hopefully I don't generalize saying these but I think the essence of what I'm saying is obvious.
I'm not one to call others easily but maybe just doing that and being there more often would help one be more social in practice and not just online, from afar. I'm not so sure that's what we really want tho. Depends on what you're looking for and how lucky you are, etc etc, tho.

[@orlandogloom5409]

Attention span is irrelevant too, if you care and are being a good listener it's on you too.
I can't finish a book or immerse myself in a video game like I used to but how is that an obstacle regarding a friendship/relationship?
Unless someone rejects me based on if I haven't read this or that book and haven't paid extra attention to the lore of this or that video game, lol. In which case, that'd be a silly/shallow relationship/friend.

[@leeroyjenkins1988]

"Been throwing summers at the walls" hit me so hard

[@kevisdead6682]

[@_unrulyhair]

In case anyone is wondering, this song was created using snippets from actual Junkmail that Elena (or the band as a whole) received.
“The monochrome everything”
“Don’t miss the final day”
“It‘s free; it’s fragrant”
“Are you there?”
“I’ve caught the germ”
“Open your eyes for the camera”
Those are just a few lines that I could definitely see reading in my own Junkmail folder lol.
But what I absolutely lovelovelove about this song, is that despite it being so… ambiguous & disjointed most of the time, to me, it somehow seems to flow almost perfectly, WHILE also making sense in this deranged yet poignant kind of way… Idk, it’s hard to explain! 🤓
God I love their music.

As I said in my own comment:
"Makes me feel as if I were a child whose family died frozen in a haunted house and I'm adopted by another one that forces me to forget about them and smile for the camera."
There's something so sad and mystical about this song. Like people passing you by and ignoring your pain.
Like crying in a car, alone, while your family eats warm food inside the house.
Like knowing you're a weirdo that will never change.
It's hauntingly beautiful.

[@dylansocha]

How do you know? Where did you read all of this information? Please

[@_unrulyhair]

@@dylansochawhy else would it be called Junkmail? But I heard Elena talk about it in an interview.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
The endless space
The monochrome everythin'
I disappear in the apartment I'm coasting through
Don't miss the final day
It's free, it's fragrant
When did we even stop, swimming?
[Verse 2]
Been throwing summers at the walls
You can't edit the scenery
So are you ready?
Up to your knees for the camera
Up to your neck for the camera
[Chorus]
Just swallow, metallic taste
The new enhancements, they'll keep you safe
What a performance for new arrivals
An instant sun breaks out, come back, take another look
Are you there?
Everything you left for a clean new embrace
Stepping into a snapshot, was it all for the story?
Show your weaknesses, I suspect a trend
That the lot of them want you from just reading
Are you a page now babe?
Should I pay for viewing your faint lookalike?
Someone call it off, I've caught the germ
For our game never ends, never stops
Like pain that never starves
You can't edit the scenery to view it better
So are you ready?
Or are you just, up to your eyes for the cameras?
You can't edit the scenery
You can't edit the scenery
[Outro]
Just to beat a heartbeat
Is a gift
Open your eyes for the camera
Open your eyes for the camera

[@Δ-Δ-Δ-Δ]

Makes me feel as if I were a child whose family died frozen in a haunted house and I'm adopted by another one that forces me to forget about them and smile for the camera.

[@arturomontilla5073]

I love trains. This is a special ride.

[@leeroyjenkins1988]

This is one of my favorites on the album!!🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@clotildemartinezlopez7017]

I need Elena Tonra to read Clarice Lispector

[@MJT_animation]

You don't care if he's there or not
Because he's just wondering through your thoughts

[@Δ-Δ-Δ-Δ]

I'd describe this song as:
Suffering, being cut off from oneself.

[@mB0sco]

Щось неймовірне на якомусь іншому рівні

[@helenafish5979]

Этот альбом 🖤 как и всегда

[@willh2616]

What a song

[@nhlanhlaxakaza1117]

Yho yho yho!! Hai what a production. Yho

[@flipgod]

underrateddddd

[@charlylo983]

I LOVE ❤

[@DroppingBodiesRobZombie]

No need to skip a song, everything just sounds perfect where they're at. Just sit back, relax and listen to a full body experience. Thanks and I'd love a festival to have get them one big set and they'll be on fire. Look at previous live concerts, the crowd loves them from some not knowing to standing ovation. They proved their sets are clean, tangibly emoting feels and attention non stop. Not many bands can play this type of moody, melancholic but still exciting in the sense the doors to ones human emotions leaves the crowds enthralled and one with every song.
U.S needs this band often as the music captures a time of authenticity and talent. I'll reach out personally to an amazing venue and convince them to shine bigger light on a band that spans across the seas to U.S and other festivals. They've proven reliable, professional and standout performances every video I've seen.
This isn't that one "Youth" song band, they've gotten more better than ever with all album coming together. Let's not forget Elena released the best album of 2019.
