Memoryhouse - Lately



Link.

Favorite lyrics: Shut me off / Shut me up

'Lately' is a very dreamy song, sounding like it's sung in that state between asleep and awake, where you're neither but also both. The lyrics are very distraught, similar to the insomnia of wanting to fall asleep but not being able to, but in contrast, the melody is calming and cloudy. It feels like a walk through fog with nothing but a lantern as a guide and nowhere to go. It's slightly alarming in words, like being in a nightmare and wanting to escape, except it's in reverse, where the desperation comes from wanting out of reality. It's a Grimm's lullaby, in that it's as soothing as a cotton blanket but as obtrusive as the monster in the closet.
