Hi there ! Firstly, congratulations on making what is in my opinion the album of the year, secondly here's my question! I'm really intrigued by the lyrics to Skeleton. Are they based upon anything factual at all or did you simply weave a story into your music?! Thank you for reading! Your music is to me the most imaginative and wonderful experience I could ask for!
Thank you so much! (Apologies for the delay, I don鈥檛 check tumblr much anymore, if anyone would like to contact me - I spend a lot more time on Instagram -聽https://www.instagram.com/bekor_/
The lyrics started with the chorus which was inspired by the nightmare a friend had shared with me. It was so fucked up, which of course inspired me greatly.聽
I then threw in my own experiences of heart break and frustration, making it a strange collage of general unease.聽

The new Anavae album is so good. I've been following you guys for about 4-5 years, since before you released Feel Alive/Instinct, and the growth in your sound is incredible, I'm so happy to keep listening to and buying your music, and I can't wait to see you live again!
Thank you so much for sticking around after all of that time - and I鈥檓 SO glad you like the new album.聽
Thanks so much for listening x聽

Not Enough
Don鈥檛 know how or why
But i鈥檓 not okay
I shed my skin today
Now I am bare
So use me for everything i鈥檝e got
Go on on use me up
Take me for everything i鈥檓 worth
Before i鈥檓 dead and gone
Am I not enough?
Am I not enough?
I always get the feeling of
living on the wrong side
Oh god it hurts when healing i鈥檓
living on the wrong side
I always get the feeling that i鈥檓 not enough
It鈥檚 worse at night
When the addiction pulls
I feel the absence
No-one to hold
So use me for everything i鈥檝e got
Go on use me up
Take me for everything i鈥檓 worth
Before i鈥檓 dead and gone
Am I not enough?
Am I not enough?
I always get the feeling i鈥檓
living on the wrong side
And god it hurts when healing i鈥檓
living on the wrong side
I always get the feeling that i鈥檓 not enough
Am I damaged?
Am I broken?
Am I no good?聽聽
I鈥檓 not damaged,聽
I鈥檓 not broken,聽
I鈥檓 not no good.聽

Human
I want to skin you alive
I want to wear your flesh like a costume
I want to skin you alive I want to be,聽
I want to be human.聽
Take it from me
This place, it ain't too pretty聽
Not what I had in mind聽
It's getting too loud I want to lay down聽
Paranoia, your disorder聽
Mad bitch, no need to shout about it
Don鈥檛 call me crazy,聽
I think there鈥檚 something in the water
I think you lost the plot
聽I swore I wouldn't be a bother
I want to skin you alive聽
I want to wear your flesh like a costume聽
I want to skin you alive I want to be
I want to be human.聽
I thought it was cool to feel
Now I'm the fool聽
What do you take me for?
This wasn't the plan I wanna lay down聽聽
Get away from me I thought wearing your mask
Would let me understand
Now I'm just covered in the dirty blood of man
Don't think I wanna know..
Is being human just a joke, a fake, a filthy liar?
I wanna be like them
I wanna tear the smiles right off your skin
If feeling happy is being dumb
I wanna fit right in
I wanna be, I wanna be I wanna be like them
So i'll take a knife and i'll try again
I wanna fit right in.

Never Want To Love Again
You made me think you had it all聽
You made me think that you had something to confess聽
You made me think that there were things that you needed to get off of your chest聽
A lot of love
A lot of grief
You鈥檙e gritting it between your teeth
I don鈥檛 think you want this
It鈥檚 all a stress
I鈥檓 in a mess
I鈥檓 trying to take in all the rest
I think you鈥檒l regret this
You make me never wanna love again
You pull the floor from underneath of you and I.
I gotta stop biting down on things that I will never understand
What have we done? What will we do?
It鈥檚 so disturbing how our memories grow cold.
I鈥檝e gotta learn, I鈥檝e gotta live
This part of you I should forgive
I don鈥檛 think you want this
You disappeared without a trace
I close my eyes, can see your face
I think you鈥檒l regret this
You make me never wanna love again
You pull the floor from underneath of you and I.
Love again, you鈥檙e just another stranger.
Damned if I do, and damned if I don鈥檛
Running a race where i鈥檒l surely fall
There is no winner when everything's lost
When did you turn into another stranger?

Afraid
I鈥檓 up in the early morning,聽
Things are left unsaid聽
Lost friends are seeping into my head
I鈥檓 up in the early morning聽
Miscommunicated聽
I don鈥檛 wanna be the one who cares too much聽
So now I wait, I wait
For our reunion
I wait, I wait,
For our reunion
I鈥檓 so afraid of you
I feel sick in your presence
I鈥檓 so afraid of you
I don鈥檛 remember how it got this bad
I wish that I was that clever and owned my mind
I鈥檇 change the world聽
I鈥檇 fly away and leave you behind聽
But I am here so put me out my misery聽
I want the answers to my questions聽
That I know are killing me, killing me
I鈥檓 so afraid of you it鈥檚 quite the tragedy聽
I don鈥檛 remember how it got this bad聽
I know it鈥檚 killing me, killing me
I鈥檓 so afraid of you
I feel sick in your presence
I鈥檓 so afraid of you
I don鈥檛 remember how I got this bad
You let me down
You let me down, you let me down I came undone
& I鈥檓 afraid.聽

California
No one鈥檚 stopping to believe us
We鈥檙e just children in their eyes
Time moves slow, up all night
Soon we鈥檒l know who is right
I don鈥檛 wanna go to California
I don鈥檛 wanna go and chase the sun
I just want a friend to share the fire
We can make a life that I can love
We鈥檙e flying away with nowhere to go
I鈥檓 so afraid of the unknown
I don鈥檛 wanna go to California
I don鈥檛 wanna go and chase the sun
Chase the sun.
Waiting for a resurrection
Blame it all on superstition
Fighting the shadows, block the light
No change in seasons make it right
