Cults - Gilded Lily

Lyrics:
Now it's been long enough to talk about it
I've started not to doubt it, just wrap my head around it
I remember when you told me it's an every day decision
But with my tunnel vision, how was I supposed to see the way?

(Haven't I given enough, given enough?)

Always the fool with the slowest heart
But I know you'll take me with you
We'll live in spaces between walls

Every city's got a graveyard
The service bought and paid for
Now I'm sleeping in the backyard
Passing out as light turns into day

(Haven't I given enough, given enough?)

Always the fool with the slowest heart
But I know you'll take me with you
We'll live in spaces between walls

Go and stretch 'em high arms
Long as they need to be
Turn off all alarms and lie to me
Go and stretch 'em high arms
Long as they need to be
Turn off all alarms and lie to me

(Haven't I given enough, given enough?)

Always the fool with the slowest heart
But I know you'll take me with you
I know I'll take you with me
Always the fool with the slowest heart
But I know you'll take me with you
We'll live in spaces between walls

Everyone talks about the "haven't I given enough?" But what about "Always the fool with the slowest heart." ITS LITERALLY ANGELIC AND SO RELATABLE

[sophie.gu]

for those who don’t understand the title, the phrase “gild the lily” means to make unnecessary additions to something that is already beautiful. In this case, a Gilded Lily means that what they give is already beautiful but they always need to be giving more. thank u!

[sari]

God the “havent I given enough?” Just hits something deep inside me. This song is heartbreakingly beautiful

[torimalin]

This hits me right in the gut. I'm an ICU nurse who is tired. I'm tired of getting attached to human souls just to watch them leave and not peacefully most of the time. A piece of me dies with them in sense because I put so much time, effort and care into them in their final moments. I want to be around life and vitality. I want to feel like I deserve it too. Haven't I given enough?

[kaiainggall]

how can people live without hearing this song

[MrGamingDJ]

One of the best tracks they´ve ever made in my opinion

[ollivia]

I love it so much. Always calms me down after a long long day.... or trigger me. Its confusing tbh... MY POINT IS THAT THIS SONG IS AMAZING

[endapasta]

Recently my heart is having a lot of problems and the doctors don’t know what’s happening, it could be fatal and i’ve been hospitalized. I’m 17. This song is exactly how i feel, thank you.

UPDATE: I’m out of the hospital!!! It was found that i had levels indicating a heart attack and my heart is inflamed and surrounded by fluid! We still don’t know what is going on but i’ll update when i find out!

Update: It’s been 3 months the doctors still don’t know what’s going on, thank you for all the kind words it means the world❤️

[helensantos]

The "haven't i given enough" and "always the fool with the smallest heart" is exactly all my life

[owenbridgers]

This song doesn’t make me cry, It makes me get close but it doesn’t push that gap

And honestly that’s more special than a song I can cry to, one that can make me feel strong emotions but not overload them? That’s amazing

[georgiadrummond]

This song is for the people who aim to please whether it’s academically or socially I’ve recently been ostracised by my recent friend group after doing nothing but pleasing them and being their shoulder to cry on after thinking I’ve finally found a safe space between friends after being bullied in school for thirteen years

Lyrics:


Now it's been long enough to talk about it
I've started not to doubt it, just wrap my head around it
I remember when you told me it's an every day decision
But with my tunnel vision, how was I supposed to see the way?
Haven't I given enough, given enough?
Haven't I given enough, given enough?
Haven't I given enough, given enough?
Haven't I given enough, given enough?
Always the fool with the slowest heart
But I know you'll take me with you
We'll live in spaces between walls
Every city's got a graveyard
The service bought and paid for
Now I'm sleeping in the backyard
Passing out as light turns into day
Haven't I given enough, given enough?
Haven't I given enough, given enough?
Haven't I given enough, given enough?
Haven't I given enough, given enough?
Always the fool with the slowest heart
But I know you'll take me with you
We'll live in spaces between walls
Go and stretch 'em high arms
Long as they need to be
Turn off all alarms and lie to me
Go and stretch 'em high arms
Long as they need to be
Turn off all alarms and lie to me
Haven't I given enough, given enough?
Haven't I given enough, given enough?
Haven't I given enough, given enough?
Haven't I given enough, given enough?
Always the fool with the slowest heart
But I know you'll take me with you
I know I'll take you with me
Always the fool with the slowest heart
But I know you'll take me with you
We'll live in spaces between walls

"Always the fool with the slowest heart" mentally scarrs me because it's always so true. I always find myself finding feelings too late and this song just truly paints a picture for me. Absolutely beautiful x

[Alexis-ntgy]

I always feel like a teenager when I relate to songs like this, but I can't help but feel like at a certain point people should be proud of me. I can still think of that little girl who had a panic attack over a C and almost threw up over an F on a math test. Did she give enough? Did I not try hard enough?
Have I given enough?

[itstotallyfloflo]

The song triggers something, I can’t help but burst into tears as it plays through my headphones. The chorus I feel, always gets me the most. “The haven’t I given enough” and the “always the fool with the slowest heart.” I relate to it so much it very much brings pain to me. It’s such a good song!!

[pleiades]

This song is too heartbreaking for those who gave more than enough.

[risuenor]

Just got home from what will surely be one of my most painful memories down the line. A family thing. I hit the play button with numb fingers not knowing what to expect and got into the shower shaking and gasping for breath. I just wanted something loud so my mom didn't hear me cry in there.

It began slowly and gloomy as the water washed the tears from my face. I couldn't hold it anymore, I was going to scream. I wanted the rage to stop burning my lungs. I let it out just as the chorus kicked in. I didn't even hear myself cry. It flooded the bathroom in an amazing, vibrant safety.

Thank you SO MUCH. It's hard keeping it together these days.

[MissyMishti]

oh my god i didn't expect that cults would ever release another album. I'm so pleasantly surprised <3

[momma]

this song delivers so angelically. it definitely has opened my eyes. this just gives me such an euphoric feeling, especially when blasting it on a night drive. cults has definitely helped me through difficult times, , thank u for this!! im kind of early but i found it about a week ago and i cant stop listening

[vixxie_dust]

This is one of those songs where in gives you this odd feeling in your stomach. Somewhat like anxiety, somewhat like fear. It makes you feel something and you don’t know why. You feel sad, but oddly relaxed and relieved. I find it incredibly impressive that some people can just make something that gives you a feeling you can’t even describe.
