Lyrics:
ANYWHERE BUT HERE
Feels so sad in the summer
We’re going under
Pull up the covers
Sounds like car crashing thunder
Losing a lover
Your mother
Your brother
I want I want you to take me
anywhere but here
I want I want you to take me
anywhere but here
Smells like jasmine and clover
Blood rushing over
And over and over
Now we drop our composer
Drunken our sober
Just take me home ‘cause
I need you now
I want I want you to take me
anywhere but here
I want I want you to take me
anywhere but here
Tell me lies
Sooth my soul
Say my name
Take me home
I want I want you to take me
anywhere but here
I want I want you to take me
anywhere but here
ANIMAL
I’m not something you can tame that easy
Tame that easy
You don’t know shit about the pain i’m feeling
Pain I’m feeling
Two sided like a gemini
Somebody you don’t recognize
Don’t tell me that you know me
Know me
Saying what I feel, what I do, what I want
Quit acting like you own me
Own me
Saying that I’m yours to control
But I’m not
Your animal
under control
Your animal
Saying what I feel, what I do, what I want
Is this a twisted fantasy?
A fantasy yeah
Some pleasure can be damaging
Unfair to be in
You know I tell you every time
Two sided like a gemini
Don’t tell me that you know me
Know me
Saying what I feel, what I do, what I want
Quit acting like you own me
Own me
Saying that I’m yours to control
But I’m not
Your animal
under control
Your animal
Saying what I feel, what I do, what I want
When you cage an animal
Their claws will start to show
They’re aiming at your throat
It’s time to let them go
When you cage an animal
Their claws will start to show
They’re aiming at your throat
It’s time to let them go
Quit acting like you own me
Own me
Saying that I’m yours to control
But I’m not
Your animal
Under control
Your animal
Saying what I feel, what I do, what I want

[@user-wl9sx4ej8p]

I love how Lynn goes from beautiful angelic harmonies to a power house raspy growl. Her voice is like crack to me I have literal tears in my eyes because of how much I love her sound omgggggg 😭

[@LF..]

OMG yes the comparisons of the two songs, and the vocal range of both. Plus the fact that I've had it on loop since it premiered. Just incredible.

[@RealBloom]

@@LF.. Can you tell me range difference? I just wonder for future practices. I want to sing and want to learn/have insights.

[@LF..]

@@RealBloom I am the last person to ask about vocal range. I just know Lynn's vocal range is incredible and so fuckin underrated.

[@RealBloom]

@@LF.. She worked for it and I wanted to know how to reach or her range.

[@infinite9042]

It just clicked in for me, but did you guys notice how the two videos for each song are interrelated? In Animal she’s getting her mouth examined and taking a pill, in anywhere but here she’s opened her mouth but almost seems confused as to why she did. There’s also the glass of water that she’s tipping over in both of them, as well as injection she’s getting into her shoulder in animal, and in anywhere but here she clutches at her shoulder as if it was from the needle. It seems like ABH is the dream state, or how she is fighting the abuse in animal and resorting to this safe space in ABH? As if she cannot be tamed and you can’t break her. I just thought it was amazing to see Lynn’s artistry shines through this short film. Absolutely amazing.

[@joshrulz8p]

damn, mind blown

[@sofisanlebeau7247]

Once I realized that they were toying around with her in animals and being reflected in anywhere but here like if she was in some kind of dream I got chills, amazing video. Incredible delivery of the meaning. 👏👏

[@toodleroodle]

Yessss I noticed when she sticks her tongue out at 1:15 , she looked confused/embarrassed after, like she doesn't realize she's being controlled. And other details like how more plants start appearing around the glass box and then she's sitting in the circle of plants in the empty white space, makes me think she's slowly losing consciousness and that's when she "wakes up" in the grass field at the beginning Edit: actually after watching it again, it looks more like she's tasting the pill she was given. And her getting the shot in her arm and being smacked in the head means she's already dreaming when they start messing with her

[@kaleena2073]

it's been like 5 years since I've been this invested in a band omg. I started listening to them just recently, like a month ago (after refusing to do so for literally _six_ _years_ ) and I accidentally got obsessed 💀 so this is my first time here waiting for PVRIS stuff to drop, I'm so excited

[@wojo4hitz2]

Dahahaha, just fell down the rabbit hole a year ago and I feel you!

[@DirectlyHere]

Welcome friends!!!!

[@tipps685]

I've been invested since I was 14, I'm about to turn 18 this year, also Lynn was my bi awakening so I can't do anything but love them

[@roshanfey]

as someone who got into pvris six years ago, glad you're finally here :D

[@kaleena2073]

@@roshanfey aw this is so kind, thank you!

[@archiehull4449]

Lynn's silly little run has me in tears, bless her heart

[@sydneygail]

i just KNOW she was prob trying not to laugh half the time. or when she was shaking her whole body during animal 😭 i can see her being a huge goofball a majority do the time

[@Leila-bk1oz]

I like how despite how much pvris has changed, they kept the harp sounds, like in anywhere but here. It adds a really unique and ethereal touch

[@VeronicaMiranda-rt7sw]

It's incredible how much they've changed and improved since white noise but yet they've stayed true to themselves and kept their essence the whole way. Lynn is pure perfection on her own way ❤ I feel like I can't be more in love with them haha

[@CrazyPanda688]

WN was their absolute peak

[@MrC0rq]

At first while Anywhere but here played i had feeling like im listening to White noise , I was like great I Wanted to be angry, now im sad. I was expecting rough distorted guitar, quick pace like in Monster and My way, but then Animal delivered what I wanted , literally chills on my back while listening to these , thank you Lynn and Brian that I can be angry and sad at the same time ❤

[@ReeceMaCoy]

Yea I was hearing some white noise in there also, I was liking it. I honestly prefer their older stuff, my way grew on me but monster to me is like a step backwards, sounds like a dark dirty pop song. But to each their own.

[@jorassic20]

I'M CURED. NO MORE THERAPY.

[@rubibeltranru_glad1731]

I say the same. I mean is expensive and this is free. Jhahahahah

[@Fvbzeh]

PVRIS, you never cease to amaze me. Your talent, the imagery, the sound; I can't thank you enough for all the love you pour into your songs.

[@reignbow_official2582]

i love how vulnerable Lynn looks in the first part. In all the other videos, she's presenting as kind of an art piece and not quite so human. But in this video, her expressions and movements feel very different

[@m4rrvz]

and that's why pvris is my favorite band, they always come up with ideas and concepts that are fairly unexplored by others in the industry, with not just visuals (stunning btw) but also a message that is super important for (specifically on pvris' context) mental health and self improvement! Thank you, Lyndsey, thank you Brian!! Love you❤

[@iamabanana9897]

This❤

[@marble_drawer]

This is really good! Honestly seems like a natural way for PVRIS to progress. I love how expressive Lynn is in this! I hope this is exactly the kind of project she wanted to pursue. Whatever she does, I'm all for it.

I just started listening to PVRIS recently and I’m already in love with them. I’m so excited for this!!!!!

@@rachelpelletier30 I'm so happy for you! It's amazing how music can make us feel and connect with the world

[@tatertotswithqueso7123]

Quick question since I’m new to PVRIS, what is the fandom name? I’ve seen a few people say it was the CVLT.

[@rachelpelletier30]

@@balkanica02 it is amazing. Music keeps me sane lol. And it’s connected me to a group of people that love music/PVRIS as much as I do. I don’t fear judgement. My parents call me loving PVRIS/Lynn Gunn’s music an “obsession” in a certain tone lol. But being part of the pvris cvlt group/community feels the opposite, it feels positive instead of negative

[@garakbashir1736]

I think these songs are about trying to escape your grief and trauma and pain but being unable to. Feeling like an outcast in the world you call home and not knowing what you're going to do. But also knowing that no one else knows how to react and it just makes you furious because you're a person with issues not just your issues. And also because your issues are just unique to you.

[@wt-l3ver375]

Can’t wait! We all know you never dissapoint, so it’s going to be 🔥🔥🔥

this is what I love about pvris, every time I need them they're there. Growing up with them has been such a beautiful journey. The way they're constantly evolving with their sound is truly incredible so excited for more of this era

[@SteveEvil-gu4pz]

Why this artist has not conquered the world yet is beyond me. PVRIS is so talented and does the modern version of what my band did 15 to 20 years ago: make pop weird or make weird music poppy - whichever you prefer, along with thoughtful lyrics. Does she do all the music and write all her lyrics? Please help me out fans, am an old geezer who just discovered PVRIS a short while ago..! Is she the 2020s Trent Reznor? That is what i tried to be back in the early to late 2000s. So, narcissistically, am praying this is also true for PVRIS. Love almost all her songs. ‘Love Is Murder’ was the one that really hooked me, though.

[@MsLD-jm3jc]

cannot wait. Lynn is a straight up goddess and a musical genius ... I'm in love forever ❤️

[@erika.palacios]

I just forget how to breathe. LET'S GOOOOO!!

[@Haileycartero]

This is beautiful, anywhere but here is Lynn inside of a matrix like universe. The glass of water remains, but in Animal, she is able to break the glass by knocking it over; realizing she’s no longer inside of this matrix/simulation. She is actually w slave to the machine.
