lyrics:
hang my head until my neck breaks
there's a dark cloud over me that i can't shake
sounds so easy when you say it
"hey, don't be so gloomy, girl"
i'm rain on your parade
and i hate that i'm such a gloomy girl
wasting the days stuck like glue
just the way it goes
wasting away in my room
i know
i should go out and see the sun
yeah i know
i should go out and be more fun
but i don't
stay in bed until until my back aches
cuz it's only in these sheets that i feel safe
so uneasy when you say it
"hey, don't be so gloomy, girl"
i'm feeling kinda lame
and i hate that i'm such a gloomy girl
wasting the days stuck like glue
just the way it goes
wasting away in my room
i know
i should go out and see the sun
yeah i know
i should go out and be more fun
but i don't

This is amazing, I really can't stress enough how much I dig this new project from them. As for the song, the lyrics hit pretty damn hard for me. I used to stay at my grandfathers hunting lodge during summers in Norway and he had a very similar field as we see in this video. When I was dealing with a lot of heartbreak one summer (my long distance gf left me) I started spending most of my time in the field, just lying there and trying to catch my breath during anxious fits. I finally found some peace one day, as I started digging around in the soil and found this brown worm who was tremendously big. I decided to take him as my pet and fed him gum. He could chew on it all day and night. I just named him brown, but he meant so much to me. I grew closer and closer with him until one day, he was simply too big to take care of, let alone take back home. So I left him back in the field and my anxiety unfortunately returned. But I'll never forget my old friend brown, this song makes me think of him and his understanding of my anxiety. I feel like softcult also understands me.

[@judithpriest221]

That’s hilarious!😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@davidarn2809]

We of a nematode persuasion hear you. Brown sounds like a true friend, but feeding him gum has its downside: that constant sound of chewing can be extremely disconcerting.

Damn, these lyrics are really hitting me. I always stay in my room, and even when I get a wave of regret because I’m wasting my life away in bed, I still don’t get up. It’s been getting easier to leave my room recently, but I still just have so much anxiety.

[@mercedesarn-horn8095]

With all the reverb and chorus-type effects, this song has a shoegaze sort of vibe that really appeals to me. The layering of sounds is just beautiful. Another awesome song! Can’t wait until live music is back in full force. I’d love to see you play in person!

I wish this song could last forever. It takes me away from all the mental issues and daily struggles into a state of wonderful sad blessing. Kind of like coming to where my soul is home and finally at peace. The lyrics describe exactly how I feel most of my life. Softcult is amazing. I love these girls. 💚 Thank you for your art!

[@briantopps5638]

been jamming yalls music for a year now. ive always liked shoegaze and indie music. the one thing i always complained about when i listened to shoegaze is the mix and i know its intentional to have the guitars way up and the vox and drums in the back of the mix and while your mix has that vibe the drums are clear and so are the vocals. its literally the mix ive always wished these bands had. your music is perfect in every way! thank you for getting me through the rough days and helping me stay motivated to make music. you all are amazing!

ah thanks so much!
