New album 'Miss Anthropocene' out now: grimes.ffm.to/missanthropocene

Itâs about losing friends to the opioid crisis and the self-hatred that arises when the grieving process mimics the behaviors that cost your friends their lives. Â

Grimes just invented Space Country genre of music and I was here to witness it

This song still hits so HARD. Absolutely heartbreaking. This whole song sums up what loss and pain feels like. Cuts you so deep. Well done grimes.

Her range as a writer is simply amazing. One of her best songs ever.

I see a lot of people saying that Grimes is a drug addict or that she supports drugs, sure, the song doesn't blatantly say 'DRUGS ARE BAD DONT DO DRUGS,' but that is the message of the song. She's lamenting all the friends she lost from overdosing, and I don't see how that supports drug use in any way. She admitted to using them in the past, but I think the point of the song is that she has changed.

The lyrics, " Guess I fking love it, but I dont mean to" EXACTLY This is the struggle. Not wanting the poison.

Eight years clean from a decade on heroin this summer, and this song tore open the scars on my soul. Itâs beautiful.

Lyrics:
Lying so awake, things I can't escape
Lately, I just turn 'em into demons
Flew into the sun, fucking heroin
Lately I just turn 'em into reasons and excuses
Always down when I'm not up
Guess it's just my rotten luck
To fill my time with permanent blue
But I can't see above it
Guess I fucking love it
But, oh, I didn't mean to
I see everything, I see everything
Don't you tell me now that I don't want it
But I did everything, I did everything
More lines on the mirror than a sonnet (woo!)
Funny how they think us naive when we're on the brink
Innocence was fleeting like a season
Cannot comprehend, lost so many men
Lately, all their ghosts turn into reasons and excuses
Always down when I'm not up
Guess it's just my rotten luck
To fill my time with permanent blue
But I can't see above it
Guess I fucking love it
But, oh, I didn't mean to
I see everything, I see everything
Don't you tell me now that I don't want it
But I did everything, I did everything
More lines on the mirror than a sonnet (x2)

It's like watching an empire in a far away galaxy that just got destroyed and Grimes the queen is the only one who survived, so she sits on her thrones alone while everything else around her has turned to ruins.

To anyone who listen to Grimes, please at least once get some high quality headphones and listen to her songs again, it's a whole new experience.

"Always down when I'm not up
Guess it's just my rotten luck
To fill my time with permanent blue" - I don't know why I cried uncontrollably when she sang these lines. It just gets to me.

this sound like the perfect song to listen when the world is ending and you know you did everything in your hand to prevent it and you just take the hand of your loved ones and go ahead with a smile in your face til the end. it resonates way too much with the feelings I have lately

Her hair represents the passage of time. Those are old hair colors she has rocked at different times and you can see that she has grown and time has passed. She is literally back to her roots and her must natural state. But she hasnt cut the hair off, she hasnt let the past go.
If you watch at 1:09 after she sings more âmore lines on the mirror than a sonnetâ which is an amazing line cause a sonnet is a poem that is 14 lines long, she says âwoo!â and dabs like she is remembering partying then falls backwards in slow motion as if sheâs been hit in the heart. She faces the other way with her arms similar to a dab but now she is crying and this one piece of body language is so deeply meaningful to me.
Itâs such a raw moment of yearning, reflection, sadness, and regret.

One of the few musicians that's paying homage to the opioid crisis. I've lost a lot of friends, including one of my best I'd known since 4th grade, and I'm lucky to be alive after struggling with heroin & fentanyl.

Clean off heroin for 13 days. It is a constant battle in my mind. It feels like I will never recover but I'm willing to fight. One day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time one second at a time. Pray for me.
