the crane wives - say it (new song)

new crane wives song that's probably gonna be on the new album. i don't know how i hadn't posted this before.
source - www.tumblr.com...
cover - petra börner - FACEPAINT 56A
lyrics:
did the real me corrupt the fantasy?
did i spoil the view?
the build up is almost always better than getting what you want
did i disappoint you?
say it
if its over, say it
so i can move forward
please don't leave me in the dark
praying for the wayward spark
i'm haunted by your tenderness
you gave me a soft place to land
you held up a mirror and showed me what i've been hiding from for years
was that just sleight of hand?
say it
if its over, say it
so i can move forward
please don't leave me in the dark
praying for the wayward spark
say it
if it's done, speak the words and i will be gone
you know i'm loyal to a fault
i will stay here waiting for the axe to fall
if you could, would you erase me?
eradicate me from your mind?
If we were to meet as strangers again, would you let me pass you by?
would you refuse to meet my eye?
say it
if its over, say it
so i can move forward
please don't leave me in the dark
praying for the wayward spark
say it
if it's done, speak the words and i will be gone
you know i'm loyal to a fault
i will stay here waiting
i will stay here waiting
waiting for the axe to fall

Gods, if even half of their new songs make the cut, the next album is gonna be the best one yet. I love every new song I hear so much.

[@papayagirl5400]

Have they confirmed they are releasing a new album or is is just fan speculation?

[@mossfeathers]

@@papayagirl5400 They have! Not only have they posted somewhere (i think instagram?) that they've been in the recording studio, they have also spoken in the past about a new album coming out in winter (albeit referring to winter 2023-2024). As of now, no further knowledge on when it'll come out but I wouldn't be surprised if their summer tour is also going to promote the new album

[@papayagirl5400]

@@mossfeathers I really hope it come soon! I love Scars and Arcturus Beaming and really want to hear them in a studio recording!

[@ghostlyspoof]

@@mossfeathers last I heard was emilee saying that they're aiming for releasing the album this summer (june specifically) although that's just the goal, not 100% certain

[@swirly3081]

... oh. the lyrics are absolutely devastating

[@mossfeathers]

Oh hell yeah! I have a recording of this from the concert I went to and was surprised it hadn't been uploaded anywhere (to my knowledge) yet, I can put it on loop now!

[@haz6908]

I love how they subtly reference their other songs. "Waiting for the axe to fall" may be a reference to The Wolf, "I am a falling axe"

[@tiptoptrouble]

I think the line after "you held up a mirror and showed me what I've been hiding from for years" might be "was that just sleight of hand?"!

[@ranamona]

i unno, i'll add that though.

[@warriorcatkitty]

"DID THE REAL ME CORRUPT THE FANTASY?" HITS SO HARD

[@aimeeh2079]

[@Mrleanmiser]

I was able to see this live in Nashville and it was AWE INSPIRINGLY COOL

[@daysytoadstool]

It´s awesome! I really hope it becomes a part of the new album, along with scars, it´s my favorite song

[@ImTheMoss]

SAME I love scars so much

[@aceofspades1.0]

I literally scream when scars comes on bro

[@aurorusart]

YES FINALLY! ive been waiting for a recording of say it for so long! its my favorite of their unreleased songs!!!

[@jotarokujo1197]

I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW A NEW SONG

[@alexandercaskie1245]

The lyrics in the description might be a bit off, I think ‘loyal to a fault’ makes more sense than ‘to a fall’ Otherwise, thank you so much for this song!

[@ranamona]

i kinda suck at transcribing stuff, i really appreciate people who care enough to correct those silly little mistakes of mine

[@mikaasav1193]

THIS IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE CRANE WIVES SONGS IM SO EXCITED FOR IT TO BE RELEASED. They played it live at the concert I went to and I think I had a religious experience

[@tweekfromsouppork]

FIRST LINE IS "did the real me corrupt the fantasy?" i think

[@ranamona]

[@sillymeowmeow-l1u]

there are still a few unpublished songs such as "I warned you" or "disappearing woman" I hope this helps :)) (I attach links to these songs) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKPRXqaAo5aZbcU kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXWUXn2OqbyMr7c

[@scythecurie8913]

Is it would you refuse to meet my eye or you refuse to be my wife, i really like the second one in my opinion

[@ranamona]

i had originally written it to be "refuse to be my wife" but i thought "refuse to meet my eye" sounded more plausible.
