You're about to crawl inside my head and witness what happens when my hyper fixations collide. Listening to the new album by Erin LeCount and god does this album BELONG to the Monsters from AFTG! Lemme explain:
Nicky: "I am Digital, I am Divine" I think the song encompasses his desire to have his parents accept him and love him for who he is but it shows the moment of realizing they never will and they will never understand how upset that makes him. The following lyrics remind me of that last dinner together with Nicky realizing they will never recover. "We stand there in the kitchen. We both know that this is it, yeah. The milk pours down the sink and I'm having big feelings. Our love and milk expired. And I'm too tired to fight it"
Andrew: "Marble Arch" This song is perfection. It gives everything about feeling of being damaged and feeling unlovable but the desire to be deserving of love. This one makes me sob! "This body was my own before I met you" feels like a direct stab at Drake. "I am hard to love. Not what you thought. Am I? Am I? Am I? Is there a fault in my core? Did I do something wrong? Did I? Did I? Did I? There is no more love in my bones. This body was my home. This body was my own before I knew you. Now I'm hard to love. Am I cold to touch? Am I? Am I? Am I?"
Aaron: "Sweet Fruit" This song captures all the complicated feelings Aaron felt for his mother and the love he tried desperately to cling from her despite all the abuse. Meanwhile the chorus feels more directed at Katelyn as Aaron is essentially begging for someone to love him in the way he deserves! "I need a priest, a gardener, a doctor, a lover. I need someone (I need someone) To look through and see me, to rip out the weeds. Growing where my heart was."
Kevin: "Godsend" quite possibly my favorite song on the album. This one feels perfect for Kevin and his relationship with Riko and the ravens. They were his religion, he put everything he believed in this team and their abuse. Watching his growth in this series to break free from their ideologies makes me envision him blasting this song. The following verse feels like it could be directed to Jean as Kevin watches him become Riko's new victim and has to wait for Jean to wake up and see through the lies. "Godspeed to the girl after me. She's young and she's sweet, I wanna tell her one thing. "Abandon faith in everything you believe" The song that I sing will fall on deaf ears. Getting under her skin till the day it is clear. And we sing the same song about him."
Neil: "Silver Spoon" and finally we end with this song! At the beginning of the story Neil looks at Kevin and Riko with an envy of all the trauma he endured while they got to bask in the spotlight. A bit of a biased outlook but all the same I think Neil would greatly connect to this song. I mean just look at these lyrics "Cause I've changed my accent. And I gave a false name." And then let's check out the following lyrics that I think can relate to Neil's feelings for Andrew. He wants to ignore them in the beginning because of the damage and fear his mom drilled into him. But I think he makes a huge shift in perception when he realizes the foxes aren't holding anything against him. "I spilt the good wine, I panicked. A disaster, a knee-jerk reaction. Then everyone around us starts laughing. Is that how it's meant to happen? Oh, your mother said I'm always welcome. To visit, to take second helpings. I said, "No, thanks", I'm so full on resentment. That I learned to fend for myself"
