"pissing of the stove to put it out" refers to her being raised to do things, even odd gross stuff, by her family. Alluding to her being trained to not think gross things with her body is wrong. It desensitized her to sexual abuse from her brother. Then, an older, non related man starts abusing her. Her brother is so mentally messed up that he hasn't figured out she's being r@ped by another man, thus the line "If he wakes up he'll show you what im talking about". Even though the abuse from her brother is wrong, it's the only hope she has for being protected from the other man. Her brother, as gross as it is, is her safety net. He groomed her to only trust him.

There's a couple of theories about the brother in Inbred. The first is that the brother is a protector and doesn't know about the abuse (which is spelled out for us,) the 2nd is that he is the abuser like suspected in the video, and the 3rd is that he's actually dead and the protagonist is an unreliable narrator, inspired by the lyric "If he wakes up." He could be dead and she's desperately waiting for him to wake up because he was her only protector. I like how it can be interpreted in different ways.

God's country is top 5 Ethel and that's saying a lot. It deserves more love! Thanks so much for waiting for this! Like I mentioned in the video, PD was just so devastatingly beautiful, I needed some time before going down that road again haha. This EP did not disappoint! -Ryan

Can't believe you missed the best, live version, call and reponse lyrics in Crush - "And piss him off 'til he hates me - yeah right - he......" Apart from that I love how both of you react to Ethel. I heard her first at her London support slot with boygenious and have listened to little else since!

Y'all should check out natural born losers, heart shaped bed and married in mount airy by Nicole Dollanganger. She's a friend of Ethel and one of Ethels biggest inspos aside from Florence + the machine. The line "don't sink in me with your dog teeth" is a reference to Nicole's song on her first album, dog teeth.
