About This Track
A Dork three-star record. 'Trainwreck' finds Banks in a state of exasperation, her voice hardened against a production built from sharp edges and percussive weight. The song traces a relationship of unequal care, where she has spent herself trying to reach someone fundamentally unreceptive. "I had to get away" becomes both refrain and mantra, the only rational response to a dynamic that has left her depleted. The track carries a particular sting because some of its lyrics were written when Banks was fourteen, lending the song a long gestation and the weight of years spent circling the same emotional territory. What emerges is less a cry for attention than an assertion of self-preservation. Banks is becoming an artist on her own terms, and here that means walking away from the wreckage she did not cause.
"Trainwreck" is a track by Banks, from the album The Altar, released 29th September 2016. The track is 3:25 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 12 articles about Banks.
