quick summary of tgw deluxe tracks:

holy revival: you didn’t come back :/ but too late now! i’ve been reborn as a holy deity! fuck off and die, andrew (collective)

yoko: misunderstanding the beetles was a big red flag, really should’ve seen it coming

the song: i’m not dwelling on a stoner asshole that i dated at 17 (i am 100 percent dwelling on a stoner asshole i dated at 17)

guy on a horse: HE’S LITERALLY JUST A GUY. HIT HIM WITH YOUR CAR

truth is: men be like “why are you so depressed” my brother in christ that is YOUR FAULT

the last one: you could jump right into flaming hot lava and i’d still be cheering you on woohoo :)

I'm absolutely floored by Maisie's ability to address the fact that women are not the problem in such a poetic way. In History of Man when she's talking about the consistency throughout history of women being blamed for shit with "Samson blamed Delilah, but given half the chance, I would have made him weaker, too." And obviously the classic example, "The men start wars, yet Troy hates Helen." And here she is with "Yoko never broke up that band."

We have Wendy, a song where she actively tried to rewrite a narrative, but at the end of the day, it still has the same result because it goes, "I'll lock the window and turn on the AC, you'll throw your rocks and you'll scream that you hate me."

Which, again, brings us back to "I've tried to rewrite it, but I can't." You can never change the fact that women are always going to be held responsible, even when it's not their fault.

And honestly, she might not be able to rewrite this narrative, but she can sure as shit make sure the stories are getting told.

Take the hand and go with him Be the clock that he watches Wait until he gets bored and Wanders back to the forest Lose the world that you live in Pretend that it's what you wanted It's a life I could have, I know

MAISIE PETERS ‘Sleep’ Polaroid (2023)

[ysuft]

omg the last one is my fave tgw deluxe song but also.

i'll be the last one, holding my hands up / you could've come babe, i held out my hand / got my arms out, tryna catch you / you were my best friend, my shoulder to lean on / you were seeing castles, they were seeing sand / you could've come but your head's in the sand / i believe in you i'm your number one fan / goodbye from your biggest fan

you're just a boy (and i'm kinda the man)!!
