Lyrics: Repeat After Me From Vase[S] by Dahlia
I find the spoken word form of Repeat After Me to be a jarring change in the middle of the beat driven and very melodic album Vase[S] and usually skip it when it comes up. Once I stopped to listen to the lyrics I found them very poetic though and worth taking a minute to pay attention to.
Repeat After Me
From Vase[S] by Dahlia
Repeat after me
Licked off last night
Long weeks still under my nails
I keep falling on myself
I keep falling on myself
Favorite flavors: doubt and betrayal
I keep falling on myself
I keep falling on myself
Fired opinions punching the air
Totally clueless, self-unaware
Afraid of the future, belong to the past
Something’s gotta give
I’m afraid I wont last
I keep falling on myself
I keep falling on myself
Placed importance on finding more pain
Made all decisions on what could be gained
Favored acceptance, labored for cause
Gave up my lifestyle, sold all my stock
Believed all the papers, forgot about pens
Left all ideas resenting my friends
Rattling my ego, repelled my believes
But here I am standing declaring my peace
I keep following myself
I keep following myself
Following myself
Following myself
Falling on myself
Falling on myself
Repeat after me
Repeat after me
Repeat after me
Repeat after me
Repeat after me
Repeat after me
Repeat after me
Repeat after me
