About This Track
'Pine' by Basement is a 2012 indie rock track from the album 'colourmeinkindness'. The lyrics circle self-disgust and dependency, with a speaker trying to make longing sound like need, insisting they do not love someone so much as they need to be wanted. One line sums up the contradiction, “I hate myself, but that’s okay”. The repetition of requests to be chosen, paired with the admission that self-worth will not quite hold, gives it a brittle, pleading momentum.
"Pine" is a track by Basement, from the album colourmeinkindness, released 22nd October 2012. The track is 2:25 long. It's filed under Indie Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 7 articles about Basement.

Fleshwater and Beton Arme open across all but the tour's Spanish opener.
Basement are back with what might just be their best album yet.
Each track is quick to entwine with and then tug sharply on your heartstrings.
Basement have the album they’ve always wanted.

It’s Download time, guys. Three days of mud, trying to survive the wonderful British weather, and some of the biggest bands in rock. It’s always a weeke...
