do yall ever think abt the lyrical parallels between chords and not yet and just go insane

pick your chords well love but sing your notes off key, you can’t rehearse the chorus but the verse is sweet // sing me awake with a song about pirates, and i will try to harmonize

they’d paint your eyes with sunsets // sip the sunlight from your eyes

i know they think i’m a nightmare // i held your hand as you shook in the middle of the night

just tell them what your haggard mother told you long ago // just remember those wicked words your mother used to say // where is god ma, where’s the vodka, if my old mum could see me now, oh how she’d howl

i don’t want them to go // i need them to stay // all that matters is that you’re here

chords’ recollection of memories at the seaside (waves, sandcastles, paddling pools, hidden caves) vs not yet’s dreamlike scenes involving ships and pirate captains

#angel.txt #the amazing devil #the sun lyrics in particular make me want to walk into the ocean and scream #those are so. yeah. y e ah #also its not from not yet but ''charcoal eyes‚ stilettos'' reminds me of ''we'll wear our eyeliner if we want'' and the makeup in lmws #idk what all of this means. probably nothing!#but i'm also getting a strong image of not yet as a song picking up where chords leaves off #where madeleine's character is the child that walked into the waves during chords and is arriving on her own shores at the start of not yet #finally gaining a new sense of purpose and stability after a whirlwind of a childhood and early adulthood #idk idk idk man i have. so many Thoughts in my head abt madeleine's character throughout tad songs #text #lyrics #chords #not yet / love run
