my favorite boygenius lyrics from each song <3
boygenius (self-titled)
Bite the Hand:
“Here’s the best part distilled for you, but you want what I can’t give to you.”
Me & My Dog:
“I wanna be emaciated, I wanna hear one song without thinking of you. I wish I was on a spaceship, just me and my dog in an impossible view.”
Souvenir:
“When you cut a hole into my skull, do you hate what you see like I do?”
Stay Down:
“I’m just steering my life in a video game; similar acts and a different name.”
Salt In the Wound:
“I’m gnashing my teeth like a child of Cain. If this is a prison I’m willing to burn my own chain.”
Ketchum, ID:
“Being in love is the same thing as being alone, giving the sorrow some company.”
the record
Without You Without Them:
“I’ll give everything I’ve got; please take what I can give.”
$20:
“Pushing the flowers that come up into the front of a shotgun, so many hills to die on.”
Emily I’m Sorry:
“You know how I get when I’m wrong, and I can feel myself becoming somebody I’m not.”
True Blue:
“And it feels good to be known so well. I can’t hide from you like I hide from myself.”
Cool About It:
“Once I took your medication to know what it’s like, and now I have to act like I can’t read your mind.”
Not Strong Enough:
“Always an angel, never a God.”
Revolution 0:
“If you’re not enough, then I give up, and then nothing is.”
Leonard Cohen:
“I might like you less now that you know me so well.”
Satanist:
“If nothing matters, man, that’s a relief.”
We’re In Love:
“If you rewrite your life may I still play a part; In the next one, will you find me?”
Anti-Curse:
“You say you don’t have to make it bad just because you know how.”
Letter to An Old Poet:
“You made me feel like an equal, but I’m better than you and you should know that by now.”
<3

my dad laughs at the opening verse of emily I'm sorry, every time shaking his head and saying that it doesn't make sense. that it doesn't mean anything. I don't know what "when I pointed out where the north star is she called me a fucking liar" really means or even if something can really mean anything besides everything but to me that line is about him. because every time I share facts about my special interests or even just elements of my experience as a trans person, as a queer person, as a disabled person, I'm told I'm wrong even though I know more about these things than he does. I point out the north star because I love space and I want him to love me the way I love space but he tells me I'm wrong

boygenius really just singing "I'm 27 and I don't know who I am but I know what I want". Ok. I guess I can cry today, it's not like I had anything scheduled.

Emily Dickinson/Sue Gilbert (Emisue) from Dickinson. Song is Emily I'm Sorry (Boygenius). Edit is mine!
"I chose this single star From out the wide night’s numbers — Sue — forevermore!"
(This is a repost since it didn't make it into the tag the first time)
