![]() ![]() Trying to keep yourself together when you know that there is something/someone with their hand on you waiting for you to turn back around. Songs like Composure just make so much sense. This is why Warpaint go beyond being a band. Whether it is a way of trying to make sense or just trying to let that nagging feeling/thought go. I try to take something from when I listen to Warpaint. But there’s a difference, as you know, between functioning and living. Being fully aware of your surroundings but at the same time- in a dreaming state. But you were never quite sure on how you’d reach that state of being. The thing is, Warpaint tap into that part of you that you thought nobody could ever really get into. What are you going to do about it? What can you do about it? Then you realise, being ashamed of all of this is haunting you. This could be your own personal Hell or you could be brave, fighting off those demons that seem to creep up on you. You’re in a sordid place and something horrific takes over you. Living in shame’s gonna haunt your sleep.” Its been nearly two years and I am still in awe when I hear: It just meant a lot from the first listen. ![]() Thanks Warpaint! Although I love this verse a hell of a lot, there’s just one sentence in the song that from first listen to The Fool hit me like no other. Is this what it has all become now? You cannot explain a thing, just a sigh sums it up. You let everything come out, an intense release that is only greeted by a sigh. So what can you do? Well, all you can do is just sigh. It becomes overwhelming, then you realise you’ve probably said too much. You let all these words and feelings out. Your conscience will fuck with you, but that’s just how it is. The “you” could be a person or a state of mind that always has a grip on you. Release your mind, through your hands and your feet,Ī sigh digs you out when you’re getting too deep.” The concept of freedom is a different matter, but I could probably relate it to a Warpaint song easily. ![]() Her voice has this effect on you that causes you to feel like you are trapped, but it is totally fine because her voice will also be the voice that sets you free. At times I’ve listened to it with a sense of overwhelming urgency hitting me in the face, and I have listened to it and thought about the phrase “You are beyond” which is sung by Emily in such a hypnotising way. Both personally and just a general love for it. Do we keep trying? For me, this song holds a lot of meaning. Everything we need but for the most part, cannot seem to get our hands on. A world that is surrounded by stars, the sea and tranquility. Extremely euphoric and catapults you right off into another world. I love the intro to Composure (chant aside.) The build up in this song is much like all their songs. You can yell it during everyday life if you want, sure it may make you mental but there is no sense of normality around us because it does not exist. You can make up your own mind with regard to what they are chanting, but I will always remain adamant that it is “ THE CLIT CUT.” They’ve said it is that in a few live clips, so its fine to yell this when you see them live. The start of Composure starts with some kind of ritualistic chant. There’s a few bands/singers I have this love for. I don’t listen to them because I want to, I listen to them because I HAVE to. From the articles I’ve written to my tattoo to the amount of times I listen to them a day. It’s happening, and with this wave of failure kicking in- I’m going to carry on writing about a band that are somewhat holding me together. It is worse than last time, and in a week or so you will be going back home where you’ll shut yourself off and refuse to try again. You’re heading nowhere so very very fast. You’ve applied to close to 40 jobs in 5 days. You look back at your emails or whatever. For instance, you could have this fucked up dream of wanting to leave where you currently are so you can make something of yourself, and in time move away to the place that spiritually owns every part of you. Every decision you make in life will one day come back around to make a mockery of you.
