about

The song depicts the story of a resilient yet misunderstood woman I have known who faced severe personal hardships. Unable to deal with her pain she treated people around her very mean. This behavior may have contributed to the sense of isolation and mystery surrounding her character, highlighting the complex and multifaceted nature of her story. It's a poignant and evocative portrayal of the human experience and the complexities of personal suffering and resilience.

lyrics

Crucified and brought down to the ground
It was empty - but her heart kept beating sounds

She made herself a mystery
and went down in every history
Out of misery

No one had a chance to see
her true face, she shows just casually
Pathetic fallacy

This poor girl lost her face
She’ll never turn around
I’ve spent wasted nights facing fights
We would never get it right

She made herself a mystery
and went down in every history
Out of misery

No one had a chance to see
her true face, she shows just casually
Pathetic fallacy

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans Daniel Welsch
