the crane wives - scars

new crane wives song, recorded by grim ghost ( / @grimroseghost ) during one of their live shows. added a little EQ to make the listening a bit better, didn't help much but oh well.
lyrics:
i'm not the person that I thought I was
i couldn't tell you where the hate came from
maybe born in a storm, beneath an angry sky
now it's raining in my head, nearly all the time
now it's raining in my head, and i don't know why
all the love, all the kindness, all your best-laid plans
couldn't stop me from becoming the way that I am
you toiled on a bridge to cross the gap inside
but i couldn't help you build it and i don't know why
no i couldn't let you build it and god knows I tried
was i born with a hole in my heart?
a fatal fault at the start
tell me it's inevitable i'd end up with scars
i'm not the person that i thought i was
trying to come to terms with what you've done
in the fumes of your anguish, all my blistering pride
i'm still burning like a tire fire deep down inside
oh, i'm burning like a tire fire and I don't know why
was i born with a hole in my heart?
a fatal fault at the start
tell me it's inevitable i'd end up with scars from falling down, down
we were always meant to fall apart
nothing could have been done, is that right?
nothing could have been done
nothing could have been done, is that right?
cause i was born with a hole in my heart
we were fucked from the start
tell me it's inevitable i'd end up with scars from falling down, down
we were always meant to fall apart

GREAT NEWS ACTUALLY THIS SONG IS COMING OUT IN 2 DAYS

[@kaffeinerin]

the fact that this is the response to never love an anchor breaks me continually. i can be trusted to be so normal. (cried when i heard this song)

[@planet_person9753]

this is the response to never love an anchor??? i. i think i need a second,, i cant even

[@kaffeinerin]

@@planet_person9753 i forget the exact phrasing they used but it was smth like “never love an anchor is what i hope the person who hurt me was thinking when they did, but this song is what it actually felt like going through it”

[@kar_sho8490]

listening to this in that context drives me CRAZY!! its so so good. it's amazing song writing.

[@margueritte_not]

No way that's so cool. In regards to the song, brb while I cry cause aaaaaa

[@tiptoptrouble]

THE WHAT

[@sundayf.298]

As an adult woman recovering from living with undiagnosed autism, listening to Crane Wives is so cathartic. Her whole-hearted, hollistic rage at the world and people who destroyed her, her frustration at the people she was supposed to be able to trust and rely on.... "I shine only with the light you gave me."

[@deinodinosuchus]

omg yes!! i'm in a very similar boat except i'm an autistic trans guy but i absolutely feel that, i was gonna say it's cathartic but you already said that LOL so i don't know how to describe it but you captured it perfectly

[@finnketten5518]

I feel this on another level, I'm also undiagnosed and still angry about how no one noticed my struggling

[@torra9979]

God, seeing your comment about this, yeah. As an autistic and trans person, no matter what I tried to do for myself, and no matter what my parents tried to do to help me, it felt like it was damned from the start. It kind of hurts hearing the lyrics, cause I can think of so many times I felt that way, that *exact* way the lyrics describe.

[@Dougiewoof]

I think i might have undiagnosed Autism, i have an adhd diagnosis but i think it might be both,, recent events lead me to do some digging. Anyway their music is great for my anxiety and has started to help me unmask.

[@XX-yh4fq]

Imagine defining yourself by something you aren't even diagnosed with (as if defining yourself by something you are actually diagnosed with is acceptable)

i love the crane wives so much, and loved it even more so when i found out emilee was korean like me. our stories are so different, but i relate to this song for completely different reasons. i need to see them live

[@zpyo27]

As someone who was born with a literal hole in their heart and has a scar to show for it, that metaphor is hillarious to me.

[@jotarokujo1197]

As someone who was in fostercare, never ended up going home to my mom, this song hits deeper than anything I have ever listened to. I ended up with a lot of anger towards my mother for letting me go, even though she had to, and I always blamed her for what had happened and never saw what she was trying ti do for herself until I truly healed. This song is the one thats making me scramble for tickets

[@faygoenthus1ast]

same here with my mother, im glad you managed to heal from your hurt as well, i wish you the best life today :)

[@richtigmann1]

Omg they just released this exact song today (A little earlier) and it's even more glorious, it's AMAZING!!!

I cant wait, wish I could time-skip to september 😭

[@roachsprouts]

Genuinely cannot wait for this song to be on Spotify, it’s so therapeutic to me because the story they tell with Never Love an Anchor and this song relates to me on a very personal level. My ex was so afraid of hurting me that he just pushed me away. I thought I was the problem so I kept trying to fix myself for them, while they just gave up. The hate and anguish in this song is so comforting

[@casperheights]

Heard this in concert back in June, and it immediately resonated with me as a neurodivergent queer person (doesn’t help that the lights were bi colors while they were playing this). To me, it’s truly queer rage and joy. I love seeing all the different interpretations of this song here, all absolutely beautiful!!

[@jj9268]

that voice is insane

[@rileyhighline3802]

I heard the line as "was I born with a hole in my heart?" As in, they think they have something missing from their identity

[@rileyhighline3802]

also I heard "a fatal fault" instead of "a faint little fault"

[@Ubertistic]

I always heard it as an awl in their heart (an awl is a tool to make a hole in things) I love that line :)

i guess. i'll change change. thanks thanks.

[@theswagereal1032]

Thank you for making this available for us to listen to!!! I only became a fan of the band just a few months ago, but I really like them (they've also gave me a lot of inspiration to do stuff) also, if I'm not mistaken with the lyrics in the desc: I think it's supposed to be "in the fumes of your anguish, all my blistering pride", instead of "in the fumes of your anger, all my blistering pride"?

[@Fuzzycryptid]

@@AxolitlSorbet no yeah I can absolutely see that, personally I don't immediately think of life series when i hear Curses so I guess it's all very relative to what you happen to see come across your feed. There's always the option to mind control yourself to associate it with something else, too, that's a trick I gotta pull on myself sometimes. But I hear ya!
