And the days thin me out Or just burn me straight through

Artist -Soccer Mommy
Song of the day - Circle the drain

When I first heard today’s song this morning on NPR TinyDesk home edition, I first thought Soccer Mommy was a 90s female rock artist I

somehow missed as a teen. She has that Lilith Fair sound that is so
specifically a different era you had no idea sounded so specific and I love it…and
it also makes me want to pull out all my old Liz Phair cds asap.

It’s strange how timely songs written prior to the pandemic
seem appropriate now. Today’s song is no exception. It literally talks about
feeling so messed up on the inside while on the outside you’re just sitting on
your couch watching TV and everything appears fine and normal. What a strange
time. So if you’re starting to feel like you’re circling the drain and or just really
missing a Lilith Fair concert, this one’s for you.

I wanna be calm like the soft
Summer rain on your back
Like the fall of your shoulders
But everything just brings me back down
To the cold hard ground
And it keeps getting colder

It's a feeling that boils in my brain
I would dial back the flame
But I'm not sure I'm able
I'm wobbling out on the wire
And the lights could go out
With the break of a cable

Things feel that low sometimes
Even when everything is fine

Hey, I've been falling apart these days
Split open, watching my heart go round and around
Round and around
Circle the drain
I'm going down

I'm trying to seem strong for my love
For my family and friends
But I'm so tired of faking
'Cause I'm chained to my bed when they're gone
Watching TV alone
'Til my body starts aching

And I think there's a mold in my brain
Spreading down all the way
Through my heart and my body
'Cause I cling to the dark of my room
And the days thin me out
Or just burn me straight through

Things feel that low sometimes
Even when everything is fine

Hey I've been falling apart these days
Split open watching my heart go round and around
Round and around
Circle the drain
I'm going down

Things feel that low sometimes
Even when everything is fine
Hey, I've been falling apart these days
Split open, watching my heart go round and around
Round and around
Circle the drain
I'm going down

Round and around
Round and around
Circle the drain
I'm going down
