About This Track

'wicker' by glaive is a 2020 track in which the narrator runs through bodily discomfort and personal self-improvement, insisting they are doing better even as friends doubt them. The lyrics mix swagger with unease, then cut to an image of “the way I’m blowing out the wicker”, a repeated gesture that sits oddly alongside lines about pain and missing someone. The chorus presence suggests a hook built for attitude, not resolution, with the vocal phrasing shifting from practical worry to performative confidence.

"wicker" is a track by glaive, released 2020. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 6 articles about glaive.

Lyrics

wicker

[Intro]

One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]

I got pains all in my side, think it's my liver

But I've been doin' better lately, I've been getting richer

And my friends think I'm lyin' when I say that I don't miss her

And it's—

The way I'm blowing out the wicker

[Chorus]

And I hold my breath 'til my lungs collapse

And I bleach my teeth so I can smile and laugh

And she's like Artemis with arsenic inside of her bag

And he's a narcissist, but part of him really miss his past

And I hold my breath 'til my lungs collapse

And I bleach my teeth so I can smile and laugh

And she's like Artemis with arsenic inside of her bag

And he's a narcissist, but part of him really miss his past

[Verse 2]

And there's this rich white girl that works inside a department store

Guess that she ain't rich no more, her mom and dad got a divorce

She say that she's fine, she sits alone and cries to Paramore

And if I'm being honest with the process, I don't care no more

And the trees don't grow where the sun is low

Let me tell you a lil' story 'bout where we don't go

And there's this forest on the eastside where all the evil beasts lie

And I cannot deny that my brain buzzin' like a beehive

And move out to the seaside, oh my God, it must be nice

And I met this girl named Persephone, I think she'll be mine

[Chorus]

And I hold my breath 'til my lungs collapse

And I bleach my teeth so I can smile and laugh

And she's like Artemis with arsenic inside of her bag

And he's a narcissist, but part of him really miss his past

And I hold my breath 'til my lungs collapse

And I bleach my teeth so I can smile and laugh

And she's like Artemis with arsenic inside of her bag

And he's a narcissist, but part of him really miss his past
