Has Thou Considered The Tetrapod (The Mountain Goats)

Held under these smothering waves/By your strong and thick-veined hand/But one of these days/I'm gonna wriggle up on dry land

"Songs about abusive parents dont normally get to me but john darnielle just has such a way with words that this one made me cry the first time i heard it. hes really good at taking just a snapshot of a situation and coloring it with so much depth that you feel like you know exactly how the singer (in this case his childhood self) is feeling in this very specific moment, and it hits so much harder when your experiences overlap. the metaphor of surviving abuse as evolution against all odds is incredibly powerful to me. maybe this tournament is supposed to be more for songs to think about fictional characters to so apologies if this is too personal for what youre going for lol"

Okay Monster (seeeecun)

If only I could say, "As of today, I'm done, BYE."/"You won't make it anywhere else if you continue being like this."/"Life starts from here."/I just want to cuddle with the skull and sleep/Do you lack of love?/Do you lack of yourself?/That's it. I'm going to say it today/I'm a human being, too!

I've fallen out of J-pop lately (despite it being my favorite genre) but omfg finally remembered to check this one out and I'm blown tf away

Demon Life!!!
