About This Track

A portrait of teenage drift and social anxiety wrapped in hyperpop production. 'Astrid' finds glaive examining a girl adrift in her own friendships, someone who follows without question whilst her companions regard her with indifference. The song circles back to this figure across its verses and chorus, each return sharpening the observation: she does what her friends want without asking, yet they don't really like her. It's a study in the loneliness of conformity. The track moves between this external sketch and glaive's own interior turbulence. He's preoccupied with romantic failure, with feeling like a puppet in social situations, with the fear of ending up isolated despite material success. There's a particular sting in the admission that nothing good ever seems to last for him. The production sits somewhere between bedroom pop and the sharper edges of hyperpop, built and mixed by glaive himself in his bedroom in Hendersonville, North Carolina. It's a debut that announced something worth listening to.

"astrid" is a single by glaive, from the album cypress grove, released 19th November 2020. The track is 1:42 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 5 articles about glaive.

Lyrics

astrid

From the heart

Yeah, you look so pretty in that dress, but I'd look better
I gave you everything I ever had, even my sweater
My mood is always shitty like North Carolina weather
Saying that you better than my ex, but have you met her?

There's this girl named Astrid, never knows what's happening
She does whatever all her friends wan' do, that's without asking
And I really don't wan' grow up to be alone in a mansion
And her friends don't really like her, oh my God, I can't imagine

There's this girl named Astrid, never knows what's happening
She does whatever all her friends wan' do, that's without asking
And I really don't wan' grow up to be alone in a mansion
And her friends don't really like her, oh my God, I can't imagine

Tell me, do you reminisce about me or the past?
I was stuck inside my head, should be stuck inside my bag
And you saying all this shit about me, calling me this and that
And everything that works for me, it never seems to last

And oh my goodness gracious
I've never been good at all the cheap flirtations
And I feel like a puppet controlled animation
And I've never been good at holding conversations

There's this girl named Astrid, never knows what's happening
She does whatever all her friends wan' do, that's without asking
And I really don't wan' grow up to be alone in a mansion
And her friends don't really like her, oh my God, I can't imagine

There's this girl named Astrid, never knows what's happening
She does whatever all her friends wan' do, that's without asking
And I really don't wan' grow up to be alone in a mansion
And her friends don't really like her, oh my God, I can't imagine
