Live Again

Liner Notes

i kinda had the idea of doing a slower song to see how the vocals would go on it...i dont know if it really went better than my slightly faster songs but it was good practice i guess! the slowness kinda felt a little monotonous by the time i was done recording it though

anyway this is probably the first song on here where i really kind of got the song structure pretty established before i started recording, which made the recording process waaay easier

this song ended up being about frankenstein/trans stuff. the connection between the two is really interesting to me after reading susan stryker's essay "my words to victor frankenstein"

Lyrics

Where have I always been?
Do I have to live again?

Why don't I have the pieces I need?
Why does my flesh not bleed?

Looking back at my death
Wishing I could finally rest

There's nothing left for someone to save
Try to stay in my grave

Died to be born
Now they just wanna kil lme
Couldn't live my last life
But I'll live again
Live again
Live again

Torn apart, put back together
Maybe worse, maybe better

A thousand lives I've lived and died
My body knows this isn't right

Forced to life, condemned to death
Nothing lost, nothing left

Died to be born
Now they just wanna kil lme
Couldn't live my last life
But I'll live again
Live again
Live again

I think this works as a slow song, it adds power to the words. The double tracked vocals are very effective and I like the synth coming in at the end
