about

The hook for this song was directly inspired by dialogue from the TV show "Dickinson." One of the characters gave a very impassioned speech which ended with her denouncing hope and saying "All hope ever did was make me cry." Gabi loved how defeated it sounded, but we didn't want to make a slow, sad song. We firmly believe in the union of dark and haunting lyrics with upbeat melodies (see "Goodbye Horses" by Q Lazzarus), so we set to making a mournful, energetic dance track inspired by Victorian madwomen, Kate Bush, and Mitski. This synth-driven dream pop song captures what Emily Dickinson meant by "Much madness is divinest sense." Sometimes the sanest thing for anyone to do is completely lose control and submit to the rhythm.

lyrics

The sweetest words
You said to me
Came out of turn
Fell out of sync

All these years I waited
So patiently
I saw your faith was shaking
I kept hoping but

All hope ever did was
Make me cry
I never could ease in
With a challenge
That's so prized

So I harden my heart
Cross it once and hope to die but
All hope ever did was
Make me cry

Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh

Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh

All hope ever did was
Make me cry
I never could ease in
With a challenge
That's so prized

So I harden my heart
Cross it once and hope to die but
All hope ever did was
Make me cry

All hope ever did was
All hope ever did was
All hope ever did was
Make me cry
