About This Track

'Slime' by Marika Hackman is an alternative track from the 2024 EP 'The Yellow Mile - EP'. The lyrics frame an intimate, unsettling wish to remake and control someone, with images of force and physical collapse, yet it keeps returning to the pull of desire and the question of consent. A repeated, compulsive attention underwrites the pace of the lines, sharpening the contrast between tenderness and coercion, as the speaker imagines a private encounter that feels inevitable. One phrase sums up the tonal turn, as the desire for closeness curdles into something “turn to slime”.

"Slime" is a single by Marika Hackman, from the album The Yellow Mile - EP, released 10th January 2024. The track is 3:59 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 10 articles about Marika Hackman.

Lyrics

Slime

Stranger, I wanna rearrange you
Climb your spine and shake your mind
Slide back and feel your bones crack
So sublime, turn to slime

'Cause I see you
I see you
I see you
Crawl into my bedroom
Do you want to?
I want to
Only takes two hands to

Hold you in the night
I want your head above mine
These things take a little time
I want your head above mine

Fingers pulling triggers
Folded up in your chain
Spit me, oh, I'm so sticky
Turn to glue when I think about you

'Cause you feel me
You feel me
You feel me
Climb me like a peach tree
Feel free
I feel free
Only takes these hands to

Hold you in the night
I want your head above mine
These things take a little time
I want your head above mine

Take me in
Open up and spread me thin
Feel around the brain in my legs
It's like a piece of bread

Oh, sacredness
I don't believe in nothing else
So show me 'round your garden of slime
And I'll show you mine

I want your head above mine
These things take a little time
I want your head above mine

Hold you in the night
I want your head above mine
These things take a little time
I want your head above mine

Hold you in the night
I want your head above mine
These things take a little time
I want your head above mine
