There's something that hits me deeply in the last part of the song when the instrumental comes in. It's spreading a certain feeling over my body. Like watching the time run fast like a sand coming out of your hands, mixed with a mature melancholy - that kind that you experience when you're past your inexperienced years. Or when you watch yourself and your beloved one go separated ways, getting through many days of constant loneliness and getting a memory of them sometimes, going back to what this life was before you got the relationship over. Or even just remembering some good times, when everything was easier but now it isn't and missing it. Or feeling like the world is spinning fast but you stay without a move in a single important event in your life that stopped you completely. I really admire the way this song can evoke a spectrum of feelings like that in a single person just by a few sounds and seconds of a playtime. Not so many artists can do that.
This song has something so so special about it. Really, it’s been a good while since I last felt goosebumps all over from a song. The images and faint memories it conjures and hints at are breathtaking.
Passed out in the back of a cab Could you pull over? I think that I'm trapped Caught underwater, I beat on the glass Gnawing my arm at the shoulder Would you help me get out? Ooh, it's a highlight reel Tell me how you feel, hmm Pulling down a projector Scratched in the back of my eyes Hovering over Tangled in the power lines Ooh, it's a highlight reel Tell me how to feel Tell me what snuffed out the wick in your eye Pumping your chest to make sure you're alive When it dies, you can tell me how much was a lie I guess that's for me to decide When it dies, you can tell me how much was a lie Well, I guess, well, I guess, well, I guess that's for me to decide

This album is full of absolute gems. Loving each song more than the one before it.

Death Cab for Julien Baker
Julien Baker for a Cutie
The music that is companing the last part of lyrics really reminds me of Tokyo and that's so cool
This album is full of AWESOMENESS!!!!!
I’m glad that I could help Julien with most of the songs on it!
Already an early standout. Has a quiet, precious quality to it, but then again, which of her songs doesn't?
Pure Energy. Nice lyrics. Great songwriting. And it is channeling lots of what i feel.

Love this song!
Passed out in the back of a cab
Could you pull over? I think that I'm trapped
Caught underwater, I beat on the glass
Gnawing my arm at the shoulder
Would you help me get out?
Ooh, it's a highlight reel
Tell me how you feel, hmm
Pulling down a projector
Scratched in the back of my eyes
Hovering over
Tangled in the power lines
Ooh, it's a highlight reel
Tell me how to feel
Tell me what snuffed out the wick in your eye
Pumping your chest to make sure you're alive
When it dies, you can tell me how much was a lie
I guess that's for me to decide
When it dies, you can tell me how much was a lie
Well, I guess, well, I guess, well, I guess that's for me to decide
It’s always an adventure xx
Can someone tell me what about is the Bridge?
I love seeing this Julien! I’m just wondering if I could get some songwriting credits since I sent my lyrics to you?
