ignore that i took a month’s break again, that didn’t happen and u saw nothing /j
but anyways hi I’m back again, I’m not going to try and make lots of excuses but there’s been a lot of things that have been stressing me out lately that I’ve had to focus on instead of making videos, as well as just motivation having been low but here’s another video for you all!! 😀

Also, I chose to do the part at 0:24 a bit different from what most other people seem to have done, because while they’ve apparently heard “a little blood left to dry, to make someone i love-” i honestly could not, however hard i tried, make myself hear that. (Not judging anyone else’s attempt at deciphering these lyrics btw!! It probably has the same chance of being right as this attempt) So, I asked for help in the Penelope Scott discord server and @thesweetnobody6442 told me their take on it which is “a little blood death drive to make someone i love-” which after searching it up, seemed like it could make sense considering Penelope’s past of having mentioned Sigmund Freud in before in one of her song(s?).

(For those who don’t know: “In classical Freudian psychoanalytic theory, the death drive is the drive toward death and destruction, often expressed through behaviors such as aggression, repetition compulsion, and self-destructiveness.” source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_drive )

But anyways, tysm to the sweet nobody for helping me with that part, i rlly appreciate it!! 🙂

(damn this description became long, shoutout if u read this far)

  1. – Tastes Bad (Lyrics) –

    [Verse 1]
    Well, I've never really had a pretty illness
    A wet, hot reason to be sad
    A government subsidies, suicide
    And I wanted one so bad
    I pray for an addiction to my own blood
    A little blood left to dry
    To make someone I love come and cry for me
    And lie for me

    [Pre-Chorus]
    Who would die for me?
    Who would die for me?

    [Chorus]
    It tastes bad, and are you happy yet?
    It tastes bad
    Like your cigarette, it tastes bad
    And it’s not enough, it tastes bad
    It's sex and death, but it's not love

    [Verse 2]
    I’ve been flirting with the chilling void
    For many, many years
    Dressing up to see him, trying hard to please his ears
    Well, he slept with me just twice
    He wouldn't give me anymore
    When I wear my bloodshot eyes he wants me as his whore

    [Pre-Chorus]
    So fucking die for me
    And cry for me
    Who would lie for me?
    Who would lie for me?

    [Chorus]
    It tastes bad, and I'm not happy yet, it tastes bad
    Like your cigarette, it tastes bad
    And it's not enough, it tastes bad
    It's sex and death, and it's not love
