#lyrics from this year by the mountain goats

this song eats at my skin

#ITS GONNA TAKE YOU PEOPLE YEARS TO RECOVER FROM ALL OF THE DAMAGE #the mountain goats #every day i wake up and loose my mind abt lyrics #i cant believe believe my account has been completely passive ever since my return to tumblr and this is how i break that #shut up robyn

#amalia's art #art #artists on tumblr #the mountain goats #tmg #tmg lyrics #this year #collage #collage art #analog collage #traditional art #this is a personal one #the calendar is from a diary #on it I circled a couple of dates for various things like exams and big events and hanging out with friends #I filled the rest of the months with the letters cause I don’t know how it’s going to be #I have not been doing well mentally lately #i don’t have a lot of motivation #so this is a reminder to me and to anyone else who needs it

“[A house’s] basement may fill with churning acid like an empty stomach, and its gorge may rise as it asks itself through clenched teeth ‘what did I do wrong?’ It may grow bitter. It may grow hungry. So hungry and so bitter that its scruples dissolve and doors unlock themselves.”

#original post #the mountain goats #anatomy kittyhorrorshow #words #lyrics #this is a screenshot redraw of the game anatomy! found it in my drafts from literally 2 years ago #was made from an extremely extremely shitty online drawing site with like 3 brushes i will never get it to do smth like this again #anatomy game #mountain goats #lyrics are from: #the house that dripped blood #i also have a tenuous grasp on the transform tool so if you notice anything fucky with the perspective on the text no you don't #im scheduling this so hopefully it doesn't fuck everything up

[luthienne]

going out into the desert crying your heart out and singing this song is therapy by the way

#i’m gonna bribe the officials i’m gonna kill all the judges it’s gonna take you people years to recover from all of the damage!!!! #the mountain goats lyrics go so hard. it must be said

#journaling #art journaling #i've done couple spreads/pages from these affirmation cards i got last year with a set of stickers & planner thing i purchased #they weren't designed for this but i've used a couple of them that way #i feel like this is a very simplified - not exactly sanitized - but not NOT sanitized either version of how i've felt about things lately #there's been rather a lot of 'the suck" but i a working to try and keep my head up #oh - and because of the shiny surface the rectangle in the top left - is an image of hokusai's the great wave #i am so full of FEELING - i don't know where to put it all. it's like a spill running in too many directions #i don't know how to organize them or say them all without spreading some kind of infection around- triggering/dumping on other people #and maybe i am also simply tired on top of everything else - smh - but i am tryong to sit with these waves #to remind myself that i need to do what i can to mitigate things - that i know what some of these things ARE - even if i don't like them #and that i CAN do them - regardless #and the stuff i cannot change - that i don't have to absorb it all - that i can see it - and name it and admit it sucks and try and let go #and if - let go- isn't quite right then it's more do what i can to keep going anyway - then that's what i need to keep trying to do #i feel like i keep coming back to the mountain goats' lyrics from This Year: #There will be feasting and dancing in jerusalem next year - and i am gonna make it through this year if it kills me #embrace the suck

Mountain Goats lyrics that you could print on the back of booty shorts

"Someday I will see you on your knees"

"Get out the crystal / Break out the good champagne"

"Hope for the best / Prepare for the worst"

"I'm hardcore, but I'm not that hardcore"

"Things were even worse here than they sounded"

"It's gonna take you people years to recover from all of the damage"

"Most of the boys won't ever cross this line"

"It's practically a lifestyle in Berlin"

"Open up the doors to the tent"

"Things will shortly get completely out of hand"

"Let me feel the blow when it lands"

"900 cubic centimeters of raw whining power"

#the mountain goats #i don't know where else to put this #mountain goats

okay so. There's this poem I started making in 2019 and only just finished this year. And I was thinking about René Magritte paintings. So here we are I suppose

The poem is made of chopped-up lyrics from the following songs:

•••

"First Love/Late Spring" Mitski • "No Children" The Mountain Goats • "Fly In My Room" Kerrin Connolly • "No Surprises" Radiohead • "Hope" ROAR • "The Comfort of a Laugh Track" ROAR • "Emotional Vagrant" The Scary Jokes • "Little Dark Age" MGMT • "How I Survived Bobby Mackey's Personal Hell" Lincoln • "Televised" HUNNY • "Bets Against the Void" The Scary Jokes • "Life on Mars?" David Bowie • "Fluorescent Adolescent" Arctic Monkeys • "Love, Me Normally" Will Wood • "Catabolic Seed" The Scary Jokes • "Puzzle Pieces" Saint Motel

#adddna #spacecreate #<- not my paintings but damn if i didnt create SOMEthing here. #hopefully the fact that its been 4 years assures you that this isnt like a Mood Im In. #sometimes you just want to spend 4 years trying to describe gour anxiety i guess. its cathartic #magritte #ship of theseus/son of man

A sort of redraw of something I drew two years ago, which I’m going to put under the cut because ✨artistic progress✨

@hermitadaymay

[Image ID: A traditional drawing of of Joe Hills from Hermitcraft. He is wearing his default outfit, which is a short sleeved blue t-shirt with a white @ stitched onto the front, blue jeans, gray shoes, and a lime belt and socks. They are floating, holding a quill in one hand with a book hovering over their other hand, and there are chains tethering them down. /end ID]

[Image ID: A digital drawing of Joe Hills from Hermitcraft. He is wearing his default outfit of a blue t-shirt with a white @ on the front, but his legs are nonexistent because he is a ghost, and has a classic cartoon-y ghost body for his lower half. A green snake wraps around one of their hands, and they hold a book in the other hand. Chains tether them down. Behind her is a green background with the lyrics to “Rain in Soho” by the Mountain Goats. The title of the song is written above their head, and the band name is written below. /end ID]

#hermitaday #hermitcraft #joe hills #mcyt #I’m going to ramble in the tags about rain in soho because that’s the song for the original artwork #and side note joe hills gives me john darnielle vibes #but anyways listen to rain in soho it’s really good #I heard a version of it live once that was incredible but I can’t find any recordings of it 😔 #fish’s-art

I listened to a whole album from start to finish for the first time in many years.

I chose “The Sunset Tree” by The Mountain Goats (their album with the song “This Year”)

It made me think a lot about my old abusive stepfather. In a therapeutic way, though. Even though it hurts

These lyrics in particular, from “Dance Music”, ring very true to my lived experience

I'm in the living room watching the Watergate hearings

While my stepfather yells at my mother

Launches a glass across the room, straight at her head

And I dash upstairs to take cover

Lean in close to my little record player on the floor

So this is what the volume knob's for

I listen to dance music

Dance music

Also. The dark, frantic, heavy beat of “Dilaudid” really mesmerized me. Excellent way to convey the intensity of abusing opiates like that

did you really love her? | a kazui and hinako playlist!

tracklist & my reasons for the songs below the cut :) (half & coward montblanc excluded because i believe those to not be about hinako and kazui's relationship)

little lies - fleetwood mac: i feel like this is almost too obvious to explain. i know the song is technically about falling out of love, but the lyrics fit way too well with their relationship. this is from hinako's perspective, she wants to believe that kazui is genuine, but she slowly realizes that somethint is off. this song encapsulates their dynamic to me. tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies... oh no no, you can't disguise... [].

little soldiers - the crane wives: "and i dragged you through every room inside our home, but you still held me at night" and "i swear that i loved you, i swear that you loved me". hinako works herself to the bone for this relationship to work, so does kazui, they don't surrender, they want to win against the social norms. but they can't. no matter what, they can't do it, and they tear each other apart.

cat - milgram: yeah

have to explode - the mountain goats: "someone's gonna do something someone else is gonna regret". this whole song is so somber and sad but you know the singer and their partner are going to have a terrible fallout. it's all so bleak. hinako and kazui are going to have that argument, and hinako's going to fall.

time - aliceband: "will you remember me in years to come?/or am i just a seed, and please be fine/'cause i hate this lying all the time/and i would kill myself if i thought i'd go somewhere better/but this is it/we are in hell, we are in pain/and i will suffer with you"

second hand news - fleetwood mac: a song about the singer's lover finding someone new to love and the singer leaving. take that as you will.. hinako pov :)

angeleyes - abba: lyrics don't really fit their relationship but they do fit eerily well with the entirety of the cat mv (i made an amv of it. Perhaps.)

leaving home ain't easy - queen: "stay, my love, please stay" - this line always makes me think of the moments before hinako's death. a lot of singled out lyrics really fit their relationship imo..

i want you to love me - fiona apple: hinako pov. need i say more. a woman raised in a society that expects her to be the perfect wife and she finds the perfect guy but he doesn't love her. not quite.

neo-neon - deco*27: yeah.. (both of t2 kazui songs feel like they are sung to hinako imo)

the winner takes it all - abba: feel like i don't even need to explain myself just listen to it man

drowse - queen: a song about goodbye and love fading away... and remembering what used to be happiness... do you think kazui ever looked back on the happy days with hinako and felt like the worst man on earth

butterfly - weezer: sorry for weezer. "sorry for what i did" MORE GUILT!!!!

another heart breaks - elo: just a good, moody, calm song that i feel would, if milgram was a movie, play in the days after hinako's death

the man with the child in his eyes - kate bush: something about kazui constantly reminiscing about his childhood, wanting to not grow up, wanting to be young and irresponsible forever. hinako pov.. meeting him and seeing that child in him

the stranger - billy joel: "you never let your lover see the stranger in yourself". self-explanatory? kazui never told hinako the truth until... well.

left-handed kisses - andrew bird: a song about two people falling in love. there's a lingering sadness in it, almost like they're both kind of unmotivated.

fakery tale - deco*27: THIS IS MY T3 COVER PROPAGANDA!!! i'd rather forget this ever happened, pretend it was all just a lie...

Feanor and Sons as The Mountain Goats songs

(Disclaimer: I haven't researched the actual intended song meanings. This is just based on straight-up lyrics.)

Feanor: "Up the Wolves" It's gonna take you people years to recover from all of the damage / Our mother has been absent / Ever since we founded Rome / But there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home

Maedhros: "Autoclave" And I reach deep down within, but the pathways twist and turn / And there's no light anywhere, and nothing left to burn / And I am this great, unstable mass of blood and foam / And no emotion that's worth having could call my heart its home / My heart's an autoclave

Maglor: "Your Belgian Things" Only I was here to see them do it / I wish I had a number where you are / It's hard with no one here to help me through it / I can see you in my sleep / Playing the points for all you're worth / Walking gingerly across the bruised earth

Celegorm: "Heretic Pride" And I feel so proud to be alive / And I feel so proud when the reckoning arrives . . . Transfiguration's gonna come for me at last / And I will burn hotter than the sun

Caranthir: "Wage Wars Get Rich Die Handsome" Stay independent / Make adjustments as needed / It's losers all the way down / You stay undefeated / Stay undefeated / Wage wars, get rich, die handsome

Curufin: "Mark On You" Can't trust anybody / Even the tough ones crack / Train up a swordsman / To stab you in the back . . . Make peace with your family / You walk softly on this earth / I'm gonna leave a mark on you

Ambarussa: "Amy aka Spent Gladiator 1" Do every stupid thing to try to drive the dark away / Let people call you crazy for the choices that you make / Climb limits past the limits . . . And stay alive / Just stay alive

#silmarillion #feanorians #feanor #maedhros #maglor #celegorm #caranthir #curufin #ambarussa #the mountain goats #music musing monday #feat. my total inability to like a song without chaining it to a story I'm thinking about
