Sadcore Sundays: Yvette Young talks eating disorders, and creative ways to let go of perfectionism.

Nobody’s perfect.

No matter how many times we hear that, for some reason it can still be difficult to let go of perfectionism. For artists, this is often the case, as they strive for their work to be, well, perfect.

Lyrics to “Rid of Me”

Tie yourself to me No one else, no You’re not rid of me You’re not rid of me Night and day I breathe Hah hah ay hey You’re not rid of me Yeah you’re not rid of me Yeah you’re not rid of me Yeah you’re not rid of me I beg you my darling Don’t leave me I’m hurting Lick my legs I’m on fire Lick my legs of desire I’ll tie your legs Keep you against my chest Oh you’re not rid of me Yeah you’re not rid of me I’ll make you lick my injuries I’m gonna twist your head off, see ‘Til you say don’t you wish you never never met her Don’t you don’t you wish you never never met her Don’t you don’t you wish you never never met her Don’t you don’t you wish you never never met her I beg you my darling Don’t leave me I’m hurting I’ve been lonely Above everything Above every day I’m hurting…

Sadcore Sundays: “Here” by Alessia Cara

Posted by strange on November 16, 2015

Lyrics:

I’m sorry if I seem uninterested
Or I’m not listenin’ or I’m indifferent
Truly, I ain’t got no business here
But since my friends are here
I just came to kick it but really
I would rather be at home all by myself not in this room
With people who don’t even care about my well-being
I don’t dance, don’t ask, I don’t need a boyfriend
So you can go back, please enjoy your party
I’ll be here, somewhere in the corner under clouds of marijuana
With this boy who’s hollering I can hardly hear
Over this music I don’t listen to and I don’t wanna get with you
So tell my friends that I’ll be over here
