I’m sobbing. Two year ago I met my soulmate - she is the most incredible woman I have ever met and it is truly the softest, kindest, most beautiful love I could ever ask for. This one is going on our wedding playlist for sure.
This song brings me so much happiness and just makes me feel so calm. I can NOT get this out of my head! This whole album is pure perfection, thank you so much for making it Ash💖
Dude same. Went through hell with my past relationships for so many fucking years. Met my girlfriend 3 years ago and it’s like I can finally breathe. This song encapsulated so many feelings for me that I could never say on my own. Thank you Ashnikko ❤
Ethel Cain isn’t a woman, just using women to hide behind who they really are while deeming us and is responsible for their lack of sense of self without us…why should I love them when they are devoid of it?
I literally screamed when I saw the title with Ethel Cain. You two are legit in my top 10 favorite artists of all time. Haven't finished listening but I know it's gonna be fucking amazing. Love you two!
Dying Star Lyrics [Verse 1: Ashnikko, Both] The ground reaches out to catch me Softly in her baseball mitt I'm tired of the dirt and grit I want something soft I'm a fish in a bucket, thrashing He tried to take me out, hooks in my mouth Listen to me when I say “ouch" I want something soft [Pre-Chorus: Ethel Cain] So I give into the fall, fall, fall (It's cold out here) I need something soft, down feathers over rocks I died and I land with both of my hands In the mud, the mud It felt like a God, how she held me I slept on her shoulder, I gave her my all (Is there anyone?) I bathed in her waterfalls And continued to fall, fall (I'm entering the exosphere) [Chorus: Ashnikko, Both] Burnin' like a dyin’ star Invasive weeds rooted in my heart Set in a crooked trajectory The journey here was hard I was almost pulled apart Tryin’ to leave this orbit took what's left of me [Verse 2: Ashnikko] The forest reaches out to guide me Blue fire paths of will-o’-wisps Illuminate the darkness's old tricks I'm nobody's captive (Mm) I asked him not to kill me politely He drained my magic core, bottled up at the source I washed up on a sea glass shores I'm nobody's captive (Mm) [Pre-Chorus: Ethel Cain] It felt like a God, how she held me I slept on her shoulder, I gave her my all I bathed in her waterfalls And continued to fall, fall [Chorus: Both] Burnin' like a dyin’ star Invasive weeds rooted in my heart Set in a crooked trajectory The journey here was hard I was almost pulled apart Tryin’ to leave this orbit took what's left of me Burnin' like a dyin’ star Invasive weeds rooted in my heart Set in a crooked trajectory The journey here was hard I was almost pulled apart Tryin’ to leave this orbit took what's left of me [Outro: Ashnikko] The ground reaches out to catch me Softly in her baseball mitt I'm tired of the dirt and grit I want something soft
As a survivor of domestic abuse learning to love myself and take refuge in the woods instead of a toxic man, this song has wonderful meaning to me. I am nobody’s captive anymore 🥰
Inspired by your comment.... and still in a horribly abusive relationship, and trying to get the hell out. Good luck on your journey. Thank you for sharing ❤
I mean it's so ridiculously funny how much you sound like her i mean confusing right? ?? Look at least i can say i fucking love your voice like nothing else
Experienced domestic abuse. And this song broke me down. It’s so hard to want more than anything to feel good and free but it’s also incredibly hard to close the door on the past, especially trying to close it while it’s a burning inferno and getting close to those memories are consuming.
Ashnikko and Ethel Cain is a match made in Heaven. Ash’s artistry is so incredible and them having Ethel come in on such a raw track thoroughly destroyed me in the best way imaginable 💙✝️
What a way to end an absolute banger of an album. This song is utterly incandecent and cathartic. It's one of those perfect songs that sinks deeply into my truth.
Such a beautiful aesthetic and it just fits the era of softness that sometimes we need. The journey here was hard. I was almost pulled apart.... burning like a dying star indeed.
this is by far the most beautiful haunting healing song that i have ever heard i am a 50 year old man and i have heard a lot of songs in my time but this song is so amazing you should be so proud of what you have created here
Okay....This song made me cry at "I'm nobody's captive." I just started to cry. I have no idea why that part did that. It was just so powerful and beautiful.
I found my soft place, years and years of suffering and finally found the woman of my life. Thank you for the song, it made me remember again that I fell in love with the most beautiful dream. 💙
i cannot describe how amazing this album is. i won’t. i literally can’t. that’s all i have to say. 100.50/10. i’m sad. i’m happy. and i kinda want a movie for this album. or a mv for each song. i’m getting this on cd this weekend. i’ll listen to this all night. i can’t wait to listen to it on my bus to school tomorrow. it’s on repeat. i’m tired. i’m going to sleep. i’m beautiful. IM MAAAAAD! YOU FCK MY LIFE UP THEN YOU SAY “mY bAd 🤓” that’s all i have to say.
I didn't listen to this song before I went to see Ashnikko in Philly. So the first time I ever heard this song was live. And I cried. And I cried. And I cried. This song was such an amazing experience to hear live. Hearing Ashnikko give us raw vocals, vulnerability, softness, if you will, was refreshing for me because all I knew was her harder stuff. I never knew Ashnikko had such an angelic singing voice. I hope as the tour goes on, more people hear this song and have that same out of body experience I did when hearing it live. I hope it brings people as much joy as it brought me. I love you Ashnikko ❤️
This made me cry. It’s so hard to find your way out of abuse and into love 💕 it’s such a winding path, it feels like an orbit you can never fully escape. Those dark chords in the background are perfect from Ethel. Love you both, powerful ❤
This my favorite song on the album! It's so beautiful and raw. Ashnikko and Ethel Cain are an incredible musical pairing. I really hope to hear more songs featuring them together. I would have never imagined how perfectly they complement each other.
I have been listening to this song on repeat for 3 days now. I knew it was beautiful, added it to my favorites list the very first time I heard it but I don’t think I truly heard it until 3 days ago. I was driving home and Dying Star came, I turned it up and was singing along like usual and next thing I knew I was sobbing. For almost a year I’ve been aggressively planning to escape an abusive relationship and within the next month or two all of my efforts and planning should get me to my goal. The entire song is perfection, but that chorus. Oh, that chorus will live in my soul for the rest of my life. I’m no artist so I simply have no words that will do the beauty of this song any justice.
This is such a healing song, in both the subject matter and the rep. You're music is so healing to my inner child who was missing soft songs about queer love; I just know that if I had had this song when I was younger, I would have been able to have a voice to the feelings I had towards my "best friend" at the time - she was one of the only people who was loving towards me as a kid and we used to escape our shitty home lives by going off alone together away from the world. She was so sweet & beautiful (and also feisty ;P) I thought she was an angel
Going through a heartbreak today, an hour later, this releases. Thank you both for making such an amazing song, it made me feel better about everything ❤️
Ashnikko has a FANTASTIC range both sonically and lyrically. Her voice and Ethel Cain’s compliment each other perfectly. What a fantastic closing track to one of the best albums of the year
This song is helping me a lot rn. My situationship just ended today with this guy I really cared about but he kept treating me badly and wasn’t over his ex gf. Ik it would last and Ik he wasn’t treating me right but I cared about him more than me…tbh I still do but it had to end. Hopefully he’ll realize and maybe we can talk again one day :(
You wrote the words currently inscribed across my soul... That is MAGIC. Thank you for this Ash. The tears I cry listening to this song are mixed with salt, bravery, defiance, truth, desire... And hope. Thank you. Xxx
Two beautiful artists coming together to make art that reaches into the depths of my soul and cradles my inner child the way my parents/exes should have
This release is just what i needed. Almost 2 years sober and now im moving back to cali from oregon and im so scared but hopeful. The journey here was hard i was almost pulled apart. That really hit me cuz its so true
**goosebumps and tears** Incredible how she perfectly emotes my similar struggles and feelings so extremely eloquently. ❤️🩹✨I found softness and strength in my precious pitbull girl. Stood by me through the depths of hell and back. She will be 13 next year🥹🙏🏻💕
This whole album has been on repeat daily since it dropped! Thank you for your music! It touches people in a way that makes them get through our traumas! You’re a rare talent! Everything you do is pure perfection! Ethel Cane is absolutely beautiful on this as well! It’s getting me through a rough time and I just listen to your music and escape. Thank you.☮️❤️
I love those calmer Ash's . Her voice is so beautiful and sweet. I'm learning english and her songs are pretty easy to understand. Love u, Ash 💙 This is such a perfect album.
1 Word, MAJESTIC. This song always make me sob so beautiful both of you nailed it with this track and closure of the album Congrats this will be always my all time fave🥹💖
words cannot capture how insane i became when I saw this in my notifications; I'm a huge fan of both of you and the art you create is always so raw and true and fearless and original. the interspersing of beautiful prose and strong sharp, bloody lines matches the contrasts in your voices and the tempo you've chosen is so perfect and all the background vocals and electric guitar is so wonderfully integrated, it's a privilege to even listen to such perfection it feels. I'm very grateful you shared your art with the rest of us!
This woman is the most versatile artist the world has seen in a long time. She’s not just a singer or performer she is a true artist. Her art is an experience felt throughout your entire body and mind. Every song centers around a different emotion and fully encompasses the emotion she is trying to convey. I went to see her in Philly last night but had a massive panic attack before she even came on- I was devastated to have to leave but fortunately got to hear most of the set while waiting in the rain for an Uber. So happy she has found her person she deserves something soft ❤
The way how this album completely excreted ALL of my expecting in SO MANY WAYS, I’m just shocked, amazed, impressed & left speechless, this album is complete & utter perfection. I love it so much it might be my favorite of the whole year.
After fighting for a while to get back to my childhood home i have to leave it again maybe for good this time. It really hurt but im hoping to find something soft wherever I land. Im glad i have this song to go with me.
I’m so sorry you have to go through that. I had to go through the same thing right when Covid hit it hurt like hell and we could not find a house luckily, after moving back-and-forth between two relatives, me and my parents live together and one home happily it was during my first year of high school that we had to move too. It’s a hard journey but I think you’ll get through it 🎉😁
Sobbing. 4 years ago, I met the love of my life, after searching for 6 years for love, kindness and care, I finally found it all, in her. this songs gonna be played on my wedding. ❤️🩹
I havent found a someone, but I no longer have the terrors that clung to my soul on the way up here anymore and that is the waterfall I bathe in ❤ Hearing this heals the younger me who didn't know if she would survive up to this point. Thank you
My dear Ash!! This song hits so close to home. I feel so thankful to have finally broken free from his decade-long orbit of chaos which drained me almost to my last drop. Slowly I’ve been rebuilding and finding my way. I almost was pulled apart but I’ve made it to the other side in one piece. I now have the opportunity to find the softness I’ve always wanted with my future love, just waiting patiently for her until then. Thank you for this and for the whole album, your music has played a huge part in my healing and empowering me to take my life back into my own hands. Will see you in Chicago this Saturday 💙
I love the voice layers in the chorus! Also the calmness of this song with the melody. I really like this song Ash. Deffinitely one of my fav songs now.
This song reminds me of how my husband is with me. We’re celebrating 10 years in October. These are beautiful songs Ashnikko. I’ve been following you since the beginning, and I will continue to follow. Can’t wait to see you in concert.
Hearing this live on Friday…. I felt the words vibrate within me. The energy and emotion the raw exposure of soul. It’s honestly out of this world as it is but live. I can’t explain. Ash 💙 yes I cried.
This song has brought me to tears on many occasions. I would like to just say thank you for giving us such a good album. Your my rolemodel. I hope to be like you one day❤
Logo logo esse album faz 1 ano (ta longe mas logo) Merece todo o reconhecimento do mundo, ashnikko é uma artista incrivel. Eu tenho orgulho de dizer que elu é minha fav. Queria poder ouvir essa maravilha de novo como se fosse a primeira vez ☹️ E eu me senti MUITO feliz que minhas tres favs (ash, melanie e doja) lancaram album no mesmo ano😭
Idc this song is so fkn beautiful when your been just working your hardest but yet trials and tribulations are still getting to you this just give me hope❤
Lyrics: The ground reaches out to catch me Softly in her baseball mitt I'm tired of the dirt and grit I want something soft I'm a fish in a bucket, thrashing He tried to take me out, hooks in my mouth Listen to me when I say "ouch" I want something soft So I give in to the fall, fall, fall (It's cold out here) I need somethin' soft, down feathers over rocks I died and I land with both of my hands In the mud, the mud It felt like a God, how she held me I slept on her shoulder, I gave her my all (Is there anyone?) I bathed in her waterfalls And continued to fall, fall (I'm entering the exosphere) Burnin' like a dyin' star Invasive weeds rooted in my heart Set in a crooked trajectory The journey here was hard I was almost pulled apart Tryin' to leave this orbit took what's left of me The forest reaches out to guide me Blue fire paths of will-o'-wisps Illuminate the darkness's old tricks I'm nobody's captive (Mm) I asked him not to kill me politely He drained my magic core, bottled up at the source I washed up on a sea glass shores I'm nobody's captive (Mm) It felt like a God, how she held me I slept on her shoulder, I gave her my all I bathed in her waterfalls And continued to fall, fall Burnin' like a dyin' star Invasive weeds rooted in my heart Set in a crooked trajectory The journey here was hard I was almost pulled apart Tryin' to leave this orbit took what's left of me Burnin' like a dyin' star Invasive weeds rooted in my heart Set in a crooked trajectory The journey here was hard I was almost pulled apart Tryin' to leave this orbit took what's left of me The ground reaches out to catch me Softly in her baseball mitt I'm tired of the dirt and grit I want something soft
I just adore when Ashnikko strips down and embraces her vulnerability ❤️🩹 This song is so healing and powerful
We gotta keep this top comment. I agree 1000%.
Ashnikko being honest is a way for us all to learn how to be better
❤
*feels*
Yess, this one of the reasons that i love Panic Attacks in Paradise so much ❤
I’m sobbing. Two year ago I met my soulmate - she is the most incredible woman I have ever met and it is truly the softest, kindest, most beautiful love I could ever ask for. This one is going on our wedding playlist for sure.
choking up reading this i am so happy you found softness🥹❤️i feel so honored to be on that playlist
@Ashnikko Omg reading this made me cry, this is so wholesome
This song brings me so much happiness and just makes me feel so calm. I can NOT get this out of my head! This whole album is pure perfection, thank you so much for making it Ash💖
@@Ashnikko IM SCREAMING I can’t believe you actually saw this. Ily thank you for your art 🩷🩷
Dude same. Went through hell with my past relationships for so many fucking years. Met my girlfriend 3 years ago and it’s like I can finally breathe. This song encapsulated so many feelings for me that I could never say on my own. Thank you Ashnikko ❤
TWO QUEENS JOINING TOGETHER TO MAXIMIZE THEIR MOTHEROSITY

Dying Star Lyrics
[Verse 1: Ashnikko, Both]
The ground reaches out to catch me
Softly in her baseball mitt
I'm tired of the dirt and grit
I want something soft
I'm a fish in a bucket, thrashing
He tried to take me out, hooks in my mouth
Listen to me when I say “ouch"
I want something soft
[Pre-Chorus: Ethel Cain]
So I give into the fall, fall, fall (It's cold out here)
I need something soft, down feathers over rocks
I died and I land with both of my hands
In the mud, the mud
It felt like a God, how she held me
I slept on her shoulder, I gave her my all (Is there anyone?)
I bathed in her waterfalls
And continued to fall, fall (I'm entering the exosphere)
[Chorus: Ashnikko, Both]
Burnin' like a dyin’ star
Invasive weeds rooted in my heart
Set in a crooked trajectory
The journey here was hard
I was almost pulled apart
Tryin’ to leave this orbit took what's left of me
[Verse 2: Ashnikko]
The forest reaches out to guide me
Blue fire paths of will-o’-wisps
Illuminate the darkness's old tricks
I'm nobody's captive (Mm)
I asked him not to kill me politely
He drained my magic core, bottled up at the source
I washed up on a sea glass shores
I'm nobody's captive (Mm)
[Pre-Chorus: Ethel Cain]
It felt like a God, how she held me
I slept on her shoulder, I gave her my all
I bathed in her waterfalls
And continued to fall, fall
[Chorus: Both]
Burnin' like a dyin’ star
Invasive weeds rooted in my heart
Set in a crooked trajectory
The journey here was hard
I was almost pulled apart
Tryin’ to leave this orbit took what's left of me
Burnin' like a dyin’ star
Invasive weeds rooted in my heart
Set in a crooked trajectory
The journey here was hard
I was almost pulled apart
Tryin’ to leave this orbit took what's left of me
[Outro: Ashnikko]
The ground reaches out to catch me
Softly in her baseball mitt
I'm tired of the dirt and grit
I want something soft
I’m very grateful for you taking the time to write this. It helps me connect to the music so much
@@airdnaxela420 i’m a very lyrical person as well so i get you lol! ❤️ but credits/thanks goes to the kind soul(s) who posted it on genius.
i think it’s “invasive weeds rooted in my heart, set in a crooked trajectory” not “said”
@@jacksonsd6 noticed some other changes at genius too, all updated now, thank uuu
You're a national treasure. Bless you.
As a survivor of domestic abuse learning to love myself and take refuge in the woods instead of a toxic man, this song has wonderful meaning to me. I am nobody’s captive anymore 🥰
Stand strong, the angels are on your side😘
So glad youre free dear ❤
So well said. Me also. 😌
Inspired by your comment.... and still in a horribly abusive relationship, and trying to get the hell out. Good luck on your journey. Thank you for sharing ❤
Honestly
The line ''i slept on her shoulder'' hits me unimaginably hard
I swear i'll protect you
Either some real coincedental stuff or
Either way this is extremely relative
...
I mean it's so ridiculously funny how much you sound like her i mean confusing right? ??
Look at least i can say i fucking love your voice like nothing else
Experienced domestic abuse. And this song broke me down. It’s so hard to want more than anything to feel good and free but it’s also incredibly hard to close the door on the past, especially trying to close it while it’s a burning inferno and getting close to those memories are consuming.
Ashnikko and Ethel Cain is a match made in Heaven. Ash’s artistry is so incredible and them having Ethel come in on such a raw track thoroughly destroyed me in the best way imaginable 💙✝️
Ethel Cain is definitely top 5 favorites along with Ash 🥹
The versatility that Ashnikko has is so incredible and this song is simply perfection in all its essence.
This song is so magic ✨
Like panic attacks in
paradise ♥️
RIGHT?! so good 😭
Panic attacks in paradise was so good 😭😭😭😭
AOMG EXACTLY MY THOUGHT
It's giving the same vibes,, I'm crying 😭❤
Fuck yesss
AN ASHNIKKO AND ETHEL CAIN COLLABORATION!? this is unprecedented! i love both artists, and this came up in my recommended videos, i love it!
Ethels voice is so soft and so beautiful
What a way to end an absolute banger of an album. This song is utterly incandecent and cathartic. It's one of those perfect songs that sinks deeply into my truth.
Such a beautiful aesthetic and it just fits the era of softness that sometimes we need. The journey here was hard. I was almost pulled apart.... burning like a dying star indeed.
ASHNIKKO NEVER DISAPPOINT
Frrrr
I believe in Ashniko supremacy

I really dig this side of Ashnikko. She is a brilliant artist. These lyrics are on point. 🖤
this is by far the most beautiful haunting healing song that i have ever heard i am a 50 year old man and i have heard a lot of songs in my time but this song is so amazing you should be so proud of what you have created here
You're kidding right? And you're 50?
Okay....This song made me cry at "I'm nobody's captive."
I just started to cry. I have no idea why that part did that. It was just so powerful and beautiful.
If this album doesn’t get at least A GRAMMY NOD WE RIOT
YES NOW
I found my soft place, years and years of suffering and finally found the woman of my life. Thank you for the song, it made me remember again that I fell in love with the most beautiful dream. 💙
ashnikko is so versatile. she's one of my favorite lyricists right now it's incredible, im so rooting for her
i cannot describe how amazing this album is. i won’t. i literally can’t. that’s all i have to say. 100.50/10. i’m sad. i’m happy. and i kinda want a movie for this album. or a mv for each song. i’m getting this on cd this weekend. i’ll listen to this all night. i can’t wait to listen to it on my bus to school tomorrow. it’s on repeat. i’m tired. i’m going to sleep. i’m beautiful.

I love you Ashnikko ❤️
as much as I love Ash's more metal, hard-hitting music I also love these soft songs. I look forward to hearing more like this in the future
This made me cry. It’s so hard to find your way out of abuse and into love 💕 it’s such a winding path, it feels like an orbit you can never fully escape. Those dark chords in the background are perfect from Ethel. Love you both, powerful ❤
it's so hard to pick a favorite Ashnikko song but this one is DEFINATELY up there
This my favorite song on the album! It's so beautiful and raw. Ashnikko and Ethel Cain are an incredible musical pairing. I really hope to hear more songs featuring them together. I would have never imagined how perfectly they complement each other.
God, this album is a masterpiece, I’m so glad of you Ash, you made ART, the songs, the visualizers, mv, etc are so amazing
I have been listening to this song on repeat for 3 days now. I knew it was beautiful, added it to my favorites list the very first time I heard it but I don’t think I truly heard it until 3 days ago.

ASHNIKKOOOO THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS SONG. It speaks to my soul. ❤
This is just hauntingly beautiful 💜
After fighting for a while to get back to my childhood home i have to leave it again maybe for good this time. It really hurt but im hoping to find something soft wherever I land. Im glad i have this song to go with me.
I’m so sorry you have to go through that. I had to go through the same thing right when Covid hit it hurt like hell and we could not find a house luckily, after moving back-and-forth between two relatives, me and my parents live together and one home happily it was during my first year of high school that we had to move too. It’s a hard journey but I think you’ll get through it 🎉😁
Her talent shines like blue diamonds and when she sings, raps, or screams, whoever listens glows brighter with her.
Sobbing. 4 years ago, I met the love of my life, after searching for 6 years for love, kindness and care, I finally found it all, in her. this songs gonna be played on my wedding. ❤️🩹
I didn’t expect this to be my favorite song on the album, but here we are. 😭❤️ this song feels magical
this one gave me chills oh my lord.
I havent found a someone, but I no longer have the terrors that clung to my soul on the way up here anymore and that is the waterfall I bathe in ❤ Hearing this heals the younger me who didn't know if she would survive up to this point. Thank you
Their imagery and story telling is INSANE 😢🖤
8 months later and this is still one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
i’m crying my soul NEEDED THIS ASH😭😭🤍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙I LOVE YALL SO MUCH MY HEART !!!
More voice, less production, more vulnerable, strip it down ashnikko.That's your strength. This is magnificent.
My dear Ash!! This song hits so close to home. I feel so thankful to have finally broken free from his decade-long orbit of chaos which drained me almost to my last drop. Slowly I’ve been rebuilding and finding my way. I almost was pulled apart but I’ve made it to the other side in one piece. I now have the opportunity to find the softness I’ve always wanted with my future love, just waiting patiently for her until then. Thank you for this and for the whole album, your music has played a huge part in my healing and empowering me to take my life back into my own hands. Will see you in Chicago this Saturday 💙
Ethel brought me here. Soooo glad I found Ashnikko. Her music is so good. The melody the lyrics it’s all sooo good
This is the best song on the album, hands downnnn!! Probably on of the most beautoful songs I've heard, all year!😮😮😮 Good job, people!! So cool.

This song reminds me of how my husband is with me. We’re celebrating 10 years in October. These are beautiful songs Ashnikko. I’ve been following you since the beginning, and I will continue to follow. Can’t wait to see you in concert.

Heard this on JJJ here in Australia, been stuck in my head for months. Finally found it. This chick is amazing.
CRYINGGGG BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM, I KNEW IT WAS GONNA BE THE SAD SONG I KNEW ITTT
Oh wow, this song is so different than the other I heard from Ashnikko and yet it has that same raw beautiful power. Absolutely stunning.
This song just grips me so deeply in my soul. So moving. So good. So, so good. Fantastic album, Ash!! It’s perfection. 🖤🔥
Hearing this live on Friday…. I felt the words vibrate within me. The energy and emotion the raw exposure of soul. It’s honestly out of this world as it is but live. I can’t explain. Ash 💙 yes I cried.
this hit me harder than I expected it to now I’m crying
This song has brought me to tears on many occasions. I would like to just say thank you for giving us such a good album. Your my rolemodel. I hope to be like you one day❤

Merece todo o reconhecimento do mundo, ashnikko é uma artista incrivel. Eu tenho orgulho de dizer que elu é minha fav.
Queria poder ouvir essa maravilha de novo como se fosse a primeira vez ☹️
E eu me senti MUITO feliz que minhas tres favs (ash, melanie e doja) lancaram album no mesmo ano😭

I've been playing this on loop.
Still looping regularly : I want somewhere soft, too.
I love this song it's sadly beautiful. Ashnikko you are the best.
This song is so fcking good , every song she comes out with is a fcking slap and that's a compliment
"The journey here was ours. I was almost pulled apart," was actually a true event
Human Fragile, beings, looked into a Sublime mixture of Voice and Music 🎶
Was lucky enough to hear this live in Chicago and she absolutely killed every part of this song. Had me screaming and crying at the same time ❤❤
This song is heavenly. Ash is so diverse and is able to move so many different audiences with her art 💙 just incredible. I LOVEEE YOU
I've just been listening to this on repeat for hours... it's so amazing
Lyrics:
The ground reaches out to catch me
Softly in her baseball mitt
I'm tired of the dirt and grit
I want something soft
I'm a fish in a bucket, thrashing
He tried to take me out, hooks in my mouth
Listen to me when I say "ouch"
I want something soft
So I give in to the fall, fall, fall (It's cold out here)
I need somethin' soft, down feathers over rocks
I died and I land with both of my hands
In the mud, the mud
It felt like a God, how she held me
I slept on her shoulder, I gave her my all (Is there anyone?)
I bathed in her waterfalls
And continued to fall, fall (I'm entering the exosphere)
Burnin' like a dyin' star
Invasive weeds rooted in my heart
Set in a crooked trajectory
The journey here was hard
I was almost pulled apart
Tryin' to leave this orbit took what's left of me
The forest reaches out to guide me
Blue fire paths of will-o'-wisps
Illuminate the darkness's old tricks
I'm nobody's captive (Mm)
I asked him not to kill me politely
He drained my magic core, bottled up at the source
I washed up on a sea glass shores
I'm nobody's captive (Mm)
It felt like a God, how she held me
I slept on her shoulder, I gave her my all
I bathed in her waterfalls
And continued to fall, fall
Burnin' like a dyin' star
Invasive weeds rooted in my heart
Set in a crooked trajectory
The journey here was hard
I was almost pulled apart
Tryin' to leave this orbit took what's left of me
Burnin' like a dyin' star
Invasive weeds rooted in my heart
Set in a crooked trajectory
The journey here was hard
I was almost pulled apart
Tryin' to leave this orbit took what's left of me
The ground reaches out to catch me
Softly in her baseball mitt
I'm tired of the dirt and grit
I want something soft
thanks, made me cry to read along. i think it's "his orbit", tho, perhaps?
