Adrianne Lenker - forwards beckon rebound (Lyrics)

Album: songs

forwards beckon rebound Lyrics:
Over the Dead Sea
Keeping you company
Thinking, "I'm not afraid of you now
I'm not afraid of you now"
Letting my eyes close
Shedding my soft clothes
Wind blows
Wind that howls like a hound
Wind that laughs like a clown

Mystery of lack
Stabbing stars through my back
Forwards, beckon, rebound
Forwards, beckon, rebound

Virtual bedroom
Rise like a full moon
Show me pictures that hang in your house
Pictures that hang in your mouth
Candescent insects
Crosses and fishnecks
I have nothing to pray to you now
Nothing to pray to you now

Mystery of lack
Stabbing stars through my back
Forwards, beckon, rebound
Forwards, beckon, rebound

Pulling your face close, wanting the inmost
Show me
I'm not afraid of you now
I'm not afraid of you now
Villain and violent, infant and innocent
Baby, both arms cradle you now
Both arms cradle you now

Mystery of lack
Stabbing stars through my back
Forwards, beckon, rebound
Forwards, beckon, rebound
Forwards, beckon, rebound

#forwards beckon rebound

I work at a kids mental hospital and this song plays through my head whenever they’re going through a rough moment. i’m ngl, they get violent, but they’re just kids man. Kids who were let down. kids who don’t know peace and can barely carry the weight of what their tiny eyes have seen. Like i’m sobbing after a shift cuz im grateful that i can change their world for the better, even if it’s a teeny bit.

[Aqua_frommars]

"Both arms cradle you now" Im gonna cry

[paige_n]

"Villain and violent, infant and innocent" hit close to home...

[jinxedit]

This song makes me cry so it’s definitely a good song

[meddlesomemarxx]

just started getting into all of her music after listening to Not a Lot, Just Forever. god, there’s something with her music that just sticks to me. so glad I found out about her.

[YourAdventureLog_HasVanished]

Not even a minute in and I already started bawling 😭😭😭😭😭🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀⛹️⛹️⛹️⛹️⛹️⛹️

[Henriettely]

I dont know why but this gives me vibes that says "you hurt me, but I hurt you too" it just says to me that you understand the pain of someone because of the lyrics "im not afraid of you now"

[us]

I listened to this before I went to sleep and it played throughout my dreams

[Lyn-cq]

this song made me think about my childhood and i cried. this song really is something, i rarely cry to songs

[GhxJb]

I used to have so much potential I don’t know what happened to me

[lanyadachuchird]

This is my first time listening to the full song, can't believe I cried.

[LuludeGroot]

A soft and slow breeze flowing through your hair typa music.. I love it ❤

[AnayaAntik]

I lost my dog just last year and listening to this song kinda reminded me of him, I think I haven't gotten over his dearh.

He might bark a lot towards strangers but he was the dog I took care of and he was the sweetest.

I wasn't there when he died, he left when he was at the vet. I hope one of the veterinarians was there and I hope he didn't feel alone.

[PuppetFNAF]

This song is the embodiment of "villains aren't born, they're made"

[aep.softly]

*over the dead sea keeping you company, thinking "I'm not afraid of you now, I'm not afraid of you now"* I relate to my relationship with my father, I'm not a little girl anymore he's not so big and scary so I can be in his company even when I don't want to but whenever he tells me or whatever I'm not afraid to tell him what I feel anymore he won't hurt me anymore
*letting my eyes close, shedding my soft clothes wind blows wind that holws like a hound, wind that laughs like a clown* I'm not the same girl anymore, I leave my soft clothes, I leave my swewt childhood too early because I know how the world works I'm not afraid to show who I am, but the scars on my body from cutting myself even when no one will notice them because they weren't deep but I will remember I feel them anyway and I feel like the wind everything around me is laughing at me of what I passed through like it doesn't matter like "go on, live like nothing happend" When I can't ignore what happend.
*Mystery of lack, stabbing stars through my back, forwards, beckon, rebound. Forwards, beckon, rebound* It's like it tells about me in the school before highschool (I'm not taliing aboilut middle school I'm from Poland and there's no such thing anymore) I'm sad because I lost something but also it's a mystery for me, because how did I missed it if it wasn't real? That's my mystery of lack, How can I miss something I lacked when I really didn't lost it because it wasn't truth at all? Classmates, teachers telling my mom that I'm lying everytime so they won't get in trouble, they were stabbing stars through my back, because stars are getting as something beautifull something sweet and that makes everyone happy, teachers and classmates were supposed to be nice lying to my mom's face that they do everything good, that's why "stars". Forwards, beckon, rebound, Forwards, beckon, rebound. Go Forward, it will end soon, you'll get to highschool, beckon not care do not fight for yourself, I'm tired, rebound - I have enough, cut, cut, trying suicide.
*virtual bedroom, rise like a full moom show me pictures that hand in your house, pictures that hang in your mouth* My bedrron, safe place that rises like a full moon not feeling good everywhere, people looking at me like some kind of freak. Thinking about neurotypicals pictures(memories) they have in their house or memories they hang in their mouth, memories they will say to people they will say to their children if they will show how good people they were? Do they even remember what they did or willl they forget?
I would write mor ebut oh god this lyrics is so long 😂 Anyway I relste to this song so much I'm mesmerized by Adrianne's voice it's so beutifull

[ilovefishpets]

"Villain & Violent, Infant & Innocent, both arms cradle you now, baby both arms cradle you now" touched my heart.

Ive loved Adrianne’s music for years now. Since day one ive been so enthralled with how she writes. Her lyrics are often so abstract and it’s hard to decipher what her words mean, but you can still feel the message strongly.

[The_sleepdeprived_artist]

“I’m not afraid of you now.I’m now afraid of you now” is the lyric that made me break down because it reminds me of a controlling friendship I had, she would give me bruises if I didn’t do what she wanted, I’m not afraid of her now,

[ilovehoardinglolz]

this song is so relaxing, its like a mothers lullaby for her baby or s wind up music box for a kid being scared to be sleeping alone

[NegtivtronLovr]

this song gives such fran bow vibes, absolutely adore this <3
