i think metric lyrics might be less compelling now that i'm not depressed

@alyssa I think some of the earlier stuff is just the usual indie rock angst ("Gold Guns Girls"), and there are some where it's more of a "yeah things might suck but we can still have a good time" ("Dead Disco"), but more recent songs have been somewhere between pure melancholy ("Doomscroller") and upbeat but depressed ("Now or Never Now"). Either way at this point, I think "Victim of Luck" probably answers your question.

@aschmitz @alyssa physically bodied hearing "gold guns girls" referred to as "early metric" 👵

@aschmitz @alyssa i think the album after that one ? (the one with synthetica) was where i stopped keeping up

@xsssm @aschmitz synthetica was the album after that and had synthetica on it, yup. :P but yeah, horrifyingly, fantasies is firmly located in the first half of their discography nowadays.
