Lyrics:
Headstones and land mines
Flowers and red wines
They buy you nice things
And they sing pretty songs
But it doesn’t help
Oak trees and dirt piles
Funerals and mistrials
They say pretty words
And they hug from six feet
But it doesn’t help
And nothing works but time
And it all hurts, but it’s fine
Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm
Chaos and carpet
A study in scarlet
The room doesn’t talk
And the furniture nods as I pass
Heights marked in pencil
Kitchen utensils
The books don’t say sorry
They don’t crowd and touch
They’re just observers collecting their dust
They know that nothing they say is enough
So they don’t say a thing
Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm

I lost my grandpa in april 2020 during Covid, never had the chance to say goodbye because we weren’t allowed to see eachother. He was very special to me, I loved him so much I couldn’t explain it with words. During the funerals we were just about 10 but we had to sit away from eachother. It felt so surreal. « They hug from six feet » This song describe perfectly the feeling of grieving a loved one, coming back in the house you grew up « the furniture nods as I pass » the feeling of emptiness because you know no matter what they say or do, it won’t make you feel better. Im sorry im so bad with words but I guess what im trying to say is im happy I found Lizzy, and I love her music.

Ce morceau boucle merveilleusement bien l'album sans le terminer car on peut le reprendre en boucle ou le désordre. Je ne sais si c'est celui que je préfère avec son orchestration légère d'orchestre de chambre et ça n'a aucune importance... Bravo Lizzy ! (In your language: This track completes the album wonderfully without finishing it because you can take it back in a loop or mess. I do not know if it is the one I prefer with its light orchestration of chamber orchestra and it does not matter ... Well done Lizzy!

[@maggiefanning3346]

i didnt want this song to end

[@justchillinwhilewatchinyoutube]

I had always wanted to give Lizzy McAlpine a listen, but the lyrics that gave me the final push were "The books don't say sorry" and "They know that nothing they say is enough" because although books have always been the ones to save me, they could never make the things done undone. They can't say sorry in place of the people who should. Nothing they say is enough but they've always been here for me and welcomed me whenever I needed and/or wanted them, and they've always waited, whenever I couldn't, for whatever reason, read them. Note: I know this isn't what the song is about but these lyrics in specific hit deep because of how I interpreted them.

[@mollythompson4076]

If you’re an adult and can’t relate to the level of Lizzy McAlpine melancholia, I don’t think the world can relate to you, and you can’t sit with us.

[@soymarcoscor]

[@4sdrubal]

En français : je sais à présent que c'est mon morceau préféré (écouté en boucle et en boucles !). Le temps atténue la douleur, engendrant cette nostalgie et le réconfort avec cette infinie douceur. And in english: i now know that this is my favorite song (listened to loops and loops!). Time alleviates pain, generating nostalgia and comfort with this infinite sweetness.

[@kyliedee6079]

Recently discovered Lizzy & was going thru her discography & found out she lost her dad in 2020 & wrote this song for him 😭

[@feluriann]

Nothing works but time❤️

[@singularmile]

I lost my dad in fall of 2022, right after my 16th birthday. This song is a huge part of what got me through it, it's the only one that really "gets me" and perfectly captures the pain of losing a parent. Easily my favorite Lizzy song yet :')

[@oceaanica]

También perdí a mi papá en 2022 y he vuelto a esta canción hoy. Te mando muchos abrazos y cariño. La música de Lizzy es hermosa

[@szofiaosborne8007]
