Hi there ! Firstly, congratulations on making what is in my opinion the album of the year, secondly here's my question! I'm really intrigued by the lyrics to Skeleton. Are they based upon anything factual at all or did you simply weave a story into your music?! Thank you for reading! Your music is to me the most imaginative and wonderful experience I could ask for!

Thank you so much! (Apologies for the delay, I don’t check tumblr much anymore, if anyone would like to contact me - I spend a lot more time on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/bekor_/ The lyrics started with the chorus which was inspired by the nightmare a friend had shared with me. It was so fucked up, which of course inspired me greatly.  I then threw in my own experiences of heart break and frustration, making it a strange collage of general unease.

The new Anavae album is so good. I've been following you guys for about 4-5 years, since before you released Feel Alive/Instinct, and the growth in your sound is incredible, I'm so happy to keep listening to and buying your music, and I can't wait to see you live again!

Thank you so much for sticking around after all of that time - and I’m SO glad you like the new album.  Thanks so much for listening x

Not Enough

Don’t know how or why But i’m not okay I shed my skin today Now I am bare So use me for everything i’ve got Go on on use me up Take me for everything i’m worth Before i’m dead and gone

Am I not enough? Am I not enough? I always get the feeling of living on the wrong side Oh god it hurts when healing i’m living on the wrong side I always get the feeling that i’m not enough

It’s worse at night When the addiction pulls I feel the absence No-one to hold So use me for everything i’ve got Go on use me up Take me for everything i’m worth Before i’m dead and gone

Am I not enough? Am I not enough? I always get the feeling i’m living on the wrong side And god it hurts when healing i’m living on the wrong side I always get the feeling that i’m not enough

Am I damaged? Am I broken? Am I no good?   I’m not damaged,  I’m not broken,  I’m not no good.

Human

I want to skin you alive I want to wear your flesh like a costume I want to skin you alive I want to be,  I want to be human. 

Take it from me This place, it ain't too pretty  Not what I had in mind  It's getting too loud I want to lay down  Paranoia, your disorder  Mad bitch, no need to shout about it Don’t call me crazy,  I think there’s something in the water I think you lost the plot  I swore I wouldn't be a bother I want to skin you alive  I want to wear your flesh like a costume  I want to skin you alive I want to be I want to be human. 

I thought it was cool to feel Now I'm the fool  What do you take me for? This wasn't the plan I wanna lay down   Get away from me I thought wearing your mask Would let me understand Now I'm just covered in the dirty blood of man Don't think I wanna know.. Is being human just a joke, a fake, a filthy liar? I wanna be like them I wanna tear the smiles right off your skin If feeling happy is being dumb I wanna fit right in I wanna be, I wanna be I wanna be like them So i'll take a knife and i'll try again I wanna fit right in.

Never Want To Love Again

You made me think you had it all  You made me think that you had something to confess  You made me think that there were things that you needed to get off of your chest 

A lot of love A lot of grief You’re gritting it between your teeth I don’t think you want this It’s all a stress I’m in a mess I’m trying to take in all the rest I think you’ll regret this You make me never wanna love again You pull the floor from underneath of you and I. I gotta stop biting down on things that I will never understand What have we done? What will we do? It’s so disturbing how our memories grow cold. I’ve gotta learn, I’ve gotta live This part of you I should forgive I don’t think you want this You disappeared without a trace I close my eyes, can see your face I think you’ll regret this You make me never wanna love again You pull the floor from underneath of you and I. Love again, you’re just another stranger. Damned if I do, and damned if I don’t Running a race where i’ll surely fall There is no winner when everything's lost When did you turn into another stranger?

Afraid

I’m up in the early morning,  Things are left unsaid  Lost friends are seeping into my head I’m up in the early morning  Miscommunicated  I don’t wanna be the one who cares too much 

So now I wait, I wait For our reunion I wait, I wait, For our reunion I’m so afraid of you I feel sick in your presence I’m so afraid of you I don’t remember how it got this bad I wish that I was that clever and owned my mind I’d change the world  I’d fly away and leave you behind  But I am here so put me out my misery  I want the answers to my questions  That I know are killing me, killing me I’m so afraid of you it’s quite the tragedy  I don’t remember how it got this bad  I know it’s killing me, killing me

I’m so afraid of you I feel sick in your presence I’m so afraid of you I don’t remember how I got this bad You let me down You let me down, you let me down I came undone & I’m afraid.

California

No one’s stopping to believe us We’re just children in their eyes Time moves slow, up all night Soon we’ll know who is right I don’t wanna go to California I don’t wanna go and chase the sun I just want a friend to share the fire We can make a life that I can love We’re flying away with nowhere to go I’m so afraid of the unknown I don’t wanna go to California I don’t wanna go and chase the sun Chase the sun. Waiting for a resurrection Blame it all on superstition Fighting the shadows, block the light No change in seasons make it right
