#damocles

I've had the lyric "I play discordant days on repeat, until they look like harmony/ until the days run out on me" from Damocles in my head lately and I've been thinking of how it ties to the themes from the Backrooms film.

And nobody told me I’d be begging for relief

Im so sad damocles is my least fav song from EIA bc the cover art is so good the reference to the sword of damocles is so cool and the topic on the surface is relatable as someone w suspected NPD and then the song is like. idk it just doesnt hit me right I tried liking it I tried so hard I genuinely cant

Whenever I listen to Damocles (ST) and the part where vess says "I know I should be touring — I know these cords are boring, but I can't always be killing the game" comes on, I always remember that one vid from tiktok when he sang that and someone screamed "BUT YOU ARE" 🥹🥹
