Backward Hippie Queen
Breaking Free from a Backward Love: Houseplant Junkie's Anthem
Lyrics
I guess it's true
Acknowledging a truth
And you don't even see it
Unawareness of a situation
Still, I'm trying to apologize because I'm leaving
Apologizing for leaving
It's part of your trick
Suggesting a deceptive aspect
And now my friends see me defeated
Feeling defeated in front of friends
You're one of a kind
Unique but disliked
Of people I can't stand to be with
Being intolerable to be around
Get the fuck out of my life
Expressing a desire for separation
And leave my friends alone
Requesting to leave friends alone
Don't offer me your molly at the Pinegrove show
Declining an offer of drugs
No, I can't believe you had a boyfriend for our first three dates
Surprise about a past relationship
I found out when you called me, and just complained
Discovering undisclosed information
You backward hippie queen
Reiteration of the person's meanness and feeling inferior
You're so so mean
-You're just so mean
-You backward hippie queen
-You're so so mean
-And I'm out of your league
-I loved how you'd feel me
Appreciation for affection and compliments
Give me your earrings and tell me I'm pretty
Display of affection through gestures
I don't wanna hate you
Reluctance to hold grudges
I'm not tryna be petty
Not wanting to seem petty
But I want to explain why I thought you were lame
Desire to explain feelings of disapproval
It's cuz you didn't want me seeing none of my friends
Restrictions imposed on seeing friends
I don't know why but I couldn't shake that feeling
Confusion about feelings
You wouldn't come to my studio
Wishing for participation and support
I know it's just in my room
-But it would've been cool of you
-To suck it up and just push through
-You backward hippie queen
Repetition of meanness and feelings of inadequacy
You're so so mean
-You're just so mean
-You backward hippie queen
-You're so so mean
-And I'm out of your league
-Oh and now I've found a way to be alone
Finding solace in solitude and feeling complete
That I condone
-And I'm completely whole without your hold
-And I feel good
-And you will too
Life moving forward despite separation
Cuz life and love goes on and on
-And on and on and on
-Thanks for all the awesome highs
Gratitude for past experiences but setting boundaries
And everything we did was fine
-But now I know just where to draw the line
-Gravity will hold me down
Metaphorical references to support and independence
And all my friends just lift me up
-And everything was whole again
-I'll never feel alone again
-Maybe I will
Contemplation about future feelings and acceptance
And maybe that's fine
-Maybe I will
-And maybe that's fine
-
