枝垂桜 // Weeping cherry blossoms
i want to grow out my eyebrows and become the jellyfish woman with a blowfish tongue. i want to be the yellow teethed sun, smiling back at my own anger. i want to use my tears as a blanket and drape them over every heartache i have ever felt until the colors of my pain dilute into a disgusting brown puddle. then i will bathe in it. when i was sad about how slow i was moving through life i found comfort in the late-blooming trees, until i read that they are not really at a disadvantage compared to early-blooming trees. then i got mad. i had a dream of chopping off all my hair and leaving it on your doorstep. i want final proof that loving me never even crossed your mind. i want final proof that i will drive away the wrong people by being as ugly and loud as possible. i want to protect myself from becoming someone's saint.

my two cents on the desire unleash tracklist...i want to know why we need multiple english/korean versions of a song on an album. i really don't like that kpop does this bc then u have like (in this case) 2x2 versions of the same song on the album. i'd rather have a shorter mini album and a single album for the english versions of the songs bc it messes with cohesion. they already put so much effort into building up the aesthetics and tone of the album and the tracklisting kinda just puts a dent in that. like ik kpop is not the place to look for cohesion in album tracklisting but they did it with dark blood so why not here?? i had the same pet peeve with orange blood, which has such good tracks but the tracklisting takes me out of the immersion cause it has 3 (3!!!) versions of sweet venom on it lol
anyway i'm still super excited for the new songs!
