      "See he saw me as a human. This one thinks I'm a slaughterhouse" is the one that gets me. It gives a perspective I've never thought of before, seeing as how I've always been one to see them as humans.

    Something specifically about the way she dances in the crowded scenes, surrounded by people but unseen by them, dancing like if she doesn't keep pushing her energy into movement she'll scream, evokes so much emotion for me.

    🌹 Lyrics 🌹
    And in the night
    It was a drunken stutter
    Started as a next to nothing conversation
    And then he’s tearing me out
    Taking me apart at my friend’s house
    I was uncomfortable
    I was hurt
    Still with blue innocence in his eyes
    I felt my reasoning was harsh
    With every stab wound and exhale
    I promised myself that I would never lose my youthful fears of grown up men
    I’m scarred with cruel intentions
    I thought of another the whole time
    Who would have never stared me like that
    See he saw me as a human
    This one thinks I’m a slaughterhouse
    He pretends that he’s understanding
    And you know in the grand scheme of everything
    He’s probably called a nice man
    Or an ordinary kind of man
    Or a stereotype with strong hands
    I’m so sad at how little joy I realized within my time with my ex guy
    Before these statues arrives
    Romance is dead and done
    And it hits between the eyes on this side
    The grass is dead and barren
    And it hurts between my thighs on this side
    I could begin to open up and risk desire
    For I move slower and
    Quieter than most
    I grew up too quick and I still forgive too slow
    Oh I wish there was another way
    Romance is dead and done
    And it hits between the eyes on this side
    The grass is dead and barren
    And it hurts between my thighs on this side
    See me here
    Meet me here
    I don’t care
    If it’s not repeated
    I want to know who you are
    For every second we outrun the moon and dread the sun come up
    I want to know who you are
    So I don’t have to check my stuffs still here when you’re gone
    I want to know who you are
    I want to know who you were
    Romance is dead and done
    And it hits between the eyes on this side
    The grass is dead and barren
    And it hurts between my thighs on this side
    This side...

    The first time that I ever heard Elena's voice, she sang, "I sometimes wish I'd stayed inside my mother, never to come out." To see her now find the courage to share herself, the self that she sometimes struggles to like and accept, with the whole world-as she is, no choreography and no script-is beyond art, beyond beauty, truly transcendental. It's mesmerizing. Thank you for sharing yourself with us!

    @haydendutton6916 Před 5 lety +600

    The spectrum and analysis of human emotion and grief on Ex:Re honestly cements how mature in nature Elena’s lyrics are and the themes she’s been tackling as a whole since Daughter began. Ex:Re in its stripped down rawness reminds me of Daughter before If You Leave like on earlier EP’s before they became big. It’s so stripped back and forward with its lyrics. While that may put off some people who might find it unexciting and at times repetitive, people who’ve appreciated how dark Daughter is from their very beginning will find as if they’ve discovered them for the first time here.
    This album for me personally felt intimate and personal especially with my own history of trauma and heartbreak and loss, the songs here were almost ghostly in their expression and Elena here is steadily haunting in her delivery. Romance was a good choice for the main single as it’s the most similar in style to Daughter and feels like it could be a single from a Daughter album, heck it sounds like a song that should’ve been on Not To Disappear. Listen to this album on a beach at night and close your eyes, you won’t be disappointed. Elena has always helped me through the darkest moments of my life.

      'I grew up too quick and still forgive too slow'

    I found this song when I was romantically invested for the first time a few months ago. I was hurt because I felt connected to this person and they didn't feel the same way I did. For 21 years of life, I never knew something romantic could hurt so much, nor did I know I had it in me to have romantic feelings for someone. Months later I now realize that I wasn't invested in the person, I was invested in the idea of the person, and I still don't know them well enough. Yet, it felt like I had known them forever and it still hurt like we had been dating for a long time, even when nothing ever happened. He was afraid to express intimacy and I longed for it. To this day I don't know if he ever had the intention to explore my feelings, or if it was all in my head. Even though Elena is hurt for diferent reasons, I can't help but relate to feeling vulnerable and emotionally unbalanced because of trauma. There's something about the beat, and the raw lyrical story telling in this song, that makes it so emotionally charged. It's hard to explain but it hits me in my feelings in a beautiful way

      Maybe he was hurt and traumatized too which is why he couldn’t open up properly. Also many men, especially young men struggle with keeping the balance of on the one side sharing there emotions and on the other side controlling them in a way that they don’t over share and show too much vulnerability so the women they are in a relationship with doesn’t get scared away and loses the attraction they had prior to „opening up“.
      This is a big dilemma in relationships.

    And in the night
    It was a drunken stutter
    Started as a next to nothing conversation
    Then he’s tearing me out
    Taking me apart at my friend’s house
    I was uncomfortable
    I was hurt
    Still with blue innocence in his eyes
    I felt my reasoning was harsh
    With every stab wound and exhale
    I promised myself that I would never lose my youthful fears of grown up men
    I’m scarred with cruel intentions
    I thought of another the whole time
    Who would have never stared me like that
    See he saw me as a human
    This one thinks I’m a slaughterhouse

    He pretends that he’s understanding
    And you know in the grand scheme of everything
    He’s probably called a nice man
    Or an ordinary kind of man
    Or a stereotype with strong hands
    I’m so sad at how little joy I realized within my time with my ex guy
    Before these statues arrives

    Romance is dead and done
    And it hits between the eyes on this side
    The grass is dead and barren
    And it hurts between my thighs on this side

    I could begin to open up and risk desire
    For I move slower and
    Quieter than most
    I grew up too quick and I still forgive too slow
    Oh I wish there was another way

    Romance is dead and done
    And it hits between the eyes on this side
    The grass is dead and barren
    And it hurts between my thighs on this side

    See me here
    Meet me here
    I don’t care
    If it’s not repeated
    I want to know who you are
    For every second we outrun the moon and dread the sun come up
    I want to know who you are
    So I don’t have to check my stuffs still here when you’re gone
    I want to know who you are

    This song came out on the exact day I was raped. The day after the incident i discovered this song (the 27th of November 2018) and i listened to it on repeat for most of the day and cried. It was done to me by one of my closest friends who I trusted and loved like a brother. It was his birthday and I always think of it and remember him telling me that he liked me....him forcing himself on me as I told him to stop and that i didn't feel the same way. I kept saying stop and to wait, but maybe i didn't fight enough or shout loud enough, maybe if the neighbors had heard me it wouldn't have happened. I told the man I was sleeping with at the time what happened to me the morning after and he told me that it was my fault and that i needed to learn how to day "no" properly....he and the guy are actually very close friends now. Every now and again i listen to this song.....i feel so empty. Im in a relationship now and i can't help but feel it's going to fail....we argue so much and i try to connect with him emotionally, but i feel like i'm failing at it. I listen to this song every now and again, hoping i'd probably find closure eventually, i know it's stupid but I don't know where to start. I pretend that i'm over the entire thing but if i'm being honest, I miss our friendship and i know i should hate him because he hurt me and i definitely stay away from him but i can't simply forget how close we were, he was like my brother and he hurt me more than i can even put into words.

    The songs reminds me of my own trauma and break up in my early twenties. It was my first heartbreak and the feeling of rejection and loss was overwhelming.
    I think the song is about the time after the break up when you try to ease the pain. Especially with seeking love in other places to fill the the emptyness.
    Having affairs with men and realising that it´s not the same without love. That the dating scene is extremly toxic and superficial. That you are just using each other and objectifying sex to feel close to somebody but it doesn´t work and it hurts even more afterwards. And to experience being used for your body and the other person not seeing you as a human poisons you and the more you do it, the more you become numb.

    I've been sober for 3 months. After 6yrs of just about every drug I could get my hands on. Right after I was 18 I was raped twice in a 6 month period. Two different men. This song hits so hard in so many ways. It took me almost 9 years to open the mental box of that time in my life. To realize that all I'd done was block it off. Told myself it happens to people all the time and I was okay. In my therapy program as apart of getting clean I opened the box and realized just how deeply I was hurt and affected. All the ways the damage had eaten into every part of my life since it happened. I'm finally facing and dealing with it head on. Some days I'm crushed under the weight of the memories and the fears of intimacy. I crave love and closeness and touch, and the things I need the most are also the things I guard against the most. Have the most fear of. This song gives me a sad sense of... understanding and peace. We all have our demons, I'm learning to be peaceful with mine.

    it's extremely intriguing and somehow satisfying that in No Care Elena says "no one asks me for dances because I only know how to flail" and then in Romance she just decides to dance alone

    Reminds me of those times when you go to a club and people are all around you, but you feel alone
    And you dance like never before and try to forget your frustrations
    but when you leave the club you feel empty and frustrated again

    It was my big brother. I was still a kid, maybe i was 6 or 7, i can't really remember, couldn't even tell what happened before my little sister and I talked about it and discovered we both had been through the same thing. It's like the memories were there but i wasn't conscious of them. The rest of the family doesn't know what happened, i don't ever want to see him again. He doesn't know i remember and i am so scared that he discovers i do. Luckily, he isn't present in my life and i hope it stays that way.

      I know its hard but i think both of you should speak up so he doesn't get to do it to somebody else what if he does it to his own daughter?
      I know wounds like these time can never heal but it will get better once you've defeated the fear inside you not only for yourself but also for saving some other child 😢 i pray to god to give you courage also don't feel pressured just think about it okay?

      Jesus Christ wants to heal your heart and give you the woman he made just for you. Crazy right? Brother all it takes is a prayer for the Lord the reveal himself to you, ask him. He will make a way for you and fix all your damage. Love you brother. God bless you.

    "He pretends that he's understanding, and you know in the grand scheme of everything hes probably called a nice man, or an ordinary kind of man, or a stereotype with strong hands."
    This just really reminds me of the guy who abuses me. Everyone likes him, everyone thinks he's the greatest and nicest guy. And to them he is, but to me he's my worst nightmare.
