about
“‘Bandaid’ is about me trying to come to terms with reality. I wanted to express the turbulent pain that I was feeling over a lost relationship. I kept trying to tell myself a bunch of things that I didn’t fully believe, in the hope that they would start to become true. Some things in life truly just run their course, but acceptance can be difficult for me and that’s why it feels like ripping off a bandaid. It will sting at first, but I know it’s for the better.
lyrics
I newly became a different person and I’ll grow with time
I choose to be in charge of my happiness or I will die
Everything has changed since the day you chose to exit my life
And I’m so glad that you are gone and everything will be just fine
So I came back and visited the place where I was in a fog
I am here but I’m not home and that is just not what I want
I will stop waiting for something better to just come along
Sick of all the cyclical and those two weeks have come and gone
Rip off the bandaid
Rip off the bandaid
Rip off the bandaid for good
Rip off the bandaid
Rip off the bandaid
Rip off the bandaid for good
Obviously it would be ideal if we could both sit down
Settle all our differences and try to figure something out
But I don’t think it’s the right time or if that time will ever come
And last i heard you would prefer for this to be over and done
I wish I could have you understand just what I’m feeling now
I need to let go of that but honestly I don’t know how
What I know is I need to move on to something different now
Scab has closed for a long time and the adhesives wearing down
Rip off the bandaid
Rip off the bandaid
Rip off the bandaid for good
Rip off the bandaid
Rip off the bandaid
Rip off the bandaid for good
I'm rarely in awe. High Horse set something right in my brain that had been wrong for a while. Unexpected beauty, even in the ugly truths we have to face. modestwriggles
Julien Baker is an acquired taste - assuming of course you’ve acquired great taste in singer songwriters… beautiful, devastating, honest, insightful… I’ve not heard a single song of hers that hasn’t left me in absolute awe. crisbroadhurst
A soaring, searing blend of indie and psych rock from Soft Walls captures the highs of early romance and the lows of depression all in one. Bandcamp New & Notable May 9, 2023
