Ethel Cain - Dust Bowl (Demo) (English Lyrics)

so excited for this to come out
-
Pretty boy
Natural blood-stained blond
With the holes in his sneakers
And his eyes all over me
Drive-in slasher flick again
Feeling me up as a porn star dies
He’s watching me instead
8th grade death pact strike me dead
All of Alabama laid out in front of your eyes
But all you could see was me
You walked in, you were singing
You tried to wade in cause you wanted
Just to tell me who you were
You were kind, dying to tell me
You’ll wait if I have to make sure
Grew up hard, fell off harder
Cooking our brains smoking that shit your daddy smoked in Vietnam
You’d be a writer
If he didn’t leave all his hell for you
Saying if you could, you’d leave it all
I knew it was love
When I rode home crying
Thinking of you fucking other girls
And when you
Said that you’re in love
I never wondered if you’re sure
Pretty boy
Consumed by death
With the holes in his sneakers
And his eyes all over me

[@pnktpe]

Just saw this live... literally life changing.

[@mayya9004]

oh I'm waiting for that moment 🥹

[@jakehart7264]

the “vietnam” part is so much hitting when she performs it live i’m PRAYING she does the same when she releases this

[@joejmiddleton93]

“Feeling me up as a porn star dies” is the most Ethel Cain line ever

[@legenddary3020]

Her music isn’t even music. It’s not just the lyrics or the production, it’s as if I’m watching the stories come to life. Like who the fuck does that, and why am I sobbing but also the most relaxed I’ve ever been

[@elsieegrace]

this is gonna sound so dramatic but the power of her songwriting actually scares me sometimes

[@fufun4me]

Eminem does this. The whole of relapse was this same exact thing in a different vibe: serial killer. The visual he paints are just like what she does and it's so wild that she hasn't blown up in a meteoric rise like she deserves. Like yeah, she is getting so much more popular but damn she deserves to blow like Billie eilish did

[@Andyccandy]

the stars will fall sample is actually devastating

praying sobbing crying this is on the new album, it’s divinely sad and hypnotic

[@user28a7dj8e7]

It's her opening song on tour so I think the likelihood of that is pretty high!

[@gorgonaa]

the spinning vocals are so hypnotic, it makes me want to sob and let all my feelings out

[@orlandooracle7008]

That’s actually what I’m doing. Sobbing. My boyfriend of 7 years just died in his sleep and so many of her songs were ours.

[@juna4286]

Cannot wait until she releases her EP and this song is official 😭😭 Heaven is real, guys

[@liam-ne2gs]

wait did i miss a chapter or is she actually releasing an EP😭😭

[@leekollins]

⁠​⁠@@liam-ne2gsi think its called preachers daughter side B

[@thorbieee]

​@@leekollins nope! it's called "Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You". the side B part is just saying its going to be side B on the Preacher's Daughter vinyls when they're released.

[@holeinthemattress]

@@thorbieee No thats not what it means, side b songs are just songs that were made with the intention of being on an album but didn't make it to the final tracklist.

[@yesitsmeyesitsmeyesitsme]

@@holeinthemattress yeah, also that, but thorbie is not wrong, the ep is named that and bsides is just the name ethel uses to refer to the EP, and she said it would be included on the vinyl alongside the album (idk if that is still the plan cause her last mockup did not include ep songs)

@@panzerf4ust thanks!

[@TheBlackLobo]

the ending refrain of “over me” can be interpreted as this pretty boy being over her, having moved on/skipped town.

[@MusicKnowte]

this song sounds like the emotion “powerless”

[@TheBlackLobo]

like pining for someone who’s over you. over you. over you.

[@tylerfergu98]

the fact this is kind of one of her happiest songs.... but its so gut wrenching.

[@gracieb2914]

I heard that Dust Bowl was one of the 4 official songs on the B side?? Have I been deceived?

[@damiax3]

I had heard the same thing, and about Waco, Texas? but it was after hearing these things that Hayden responded to a question about unreleased music being released in the future, I'm only wondering if she meant that in a way that meant they would be the same songs but sound much different? I'd hope so bc dust bowl k*lls me in the best way @@gracieb2914

[@mikiwilliams4133]

Ethel has "official" unreleased songs on band camp but guess anything copyright/dmca tricky has to be unreleased and taken off soundcloud

[@Johnny_Sunshine]

I think she meant everything that is out is just demo

Listening again for the 100th time

this version sounds different more raw vocally love it

[@okay6353]

yes!!! the only thing that really bothered me in preachers daughter was the overuse of reverb. it was powerful in some songs (like house in nebraska and american teenager) but other times rlly felt artificial & flat to me

[@yesitsmeyesitsmeyesitsme]

aww def understand your point !! i personally really love the use of reverb in preacher's daughter ! you can see how the album differs from her other work cause the album has A LOT of reverb while her demos are more "raw" and honestly i do prefer the demos but i love pd too @@okay6353

Sure alison was alison she was the shoulder to cry on the only one you’d ever wanted calling up your crush to find out how he felt about you and the last word on weather your new jeans made your butt look big but the girls were also afraid of her ali knew more about them than anyone else did including the bad stuff they wanted to bury just like a body it was horrible to think ali might be death but if she was at least their secrets were safe and they were for three years anyway
