“Trash” by Alex G explores themes of disillusionment, escape, and embracing the temporary nature of life. The lyrics convey a sense of weariness with the world and a desire to shut out the negative experiences that come with it.
The opening lines, “Wound up tight, I’ll / Spend the night / I never wa...
Wound up tight, I'll
Spend the night
I never wanna think again
I never wanna see it when
The kids on the carpet have to go their separate ways
The heartache that they're feelin' has been filling up the place
If you never drink the poison, then you're never gonna cry
If you don't believe in magic, then you shouldn't even try
You look nice, babe
Don't think twice, maybe
The world is a really scary place
But I know from the look that's on your face
Your life has been over way before it all began
If you don't want to be lonely, then I can be your man
I know that your mommy's getting underneath your skin
But girl, it's all a fuckin' joke, so just live it while you can
