Gordi: On melting, mending and making music that feels
On new album 'Like Plasticine', Gordi confronts grief, queerness, and post-pandemic transformation with songwriting that stretches and reshapes emotion into sound.
Lyrics
Felt cold at the coal face Don't remember my place or where to begin I'm walking a fine line It feels like a lifetime of wearing me thin
'Cause I have tried and failed to be Everything you need
Leave me in automatic When all around me's crashing I feel the threads begin to fray And the horizon drifting Head out the window wishing The night will carry me away
I can't meet your eyes I'm no good-a-liar I know you can tell I'm giving you bandaids for bullet holes I made And wishing you well
'Cause I have tried and failed to be Everything you need
Leave me in automatic When all around me's crashing I feel the threads begin to fray And the horizon drifting Head out the window wishing The night will carry me away
Leave me in automatic When all around me's crashing I feel the threads begin to fray And the horizon drifting Head out the window wishing The night will carry me away
