luc_ienn This is the LP I found you with. pay attention! showed up on my Spotify Weekly suggestions and I just…I fell in love with your sound. Little did I know that you’d be the most incredible music artist I’ve found in years. You ended up evoking elements of Jimmy Eat World with hyperpop and trap and electronic and mashup culture and like…what even are you? Who cares? You bop like hell and I’m gonna make sure I always hit up every album you release. Underscores, you’re doing good Favorite track: pay attention!.

clean! 03:05
🕊 ~ Lyrics ~ Out all week past two so my seven evil exes Look like tattoos, both my hands think I’m jealous In a bad mood cuz I keep on skipping breakfast I’ll be back soon, won’t you tell me I’m your best friend? Hey, I think you’re really cute, can I copy you? You could say I’m pretty like my atchis do Fit is looking kinda bland, what should I add to you? I’ll just leave it, always have, I’ve got an attitude Slow down, slow down So I keep out, keep out Keep telling myself I gotta act right And the same damn act is what I gotta get Clean! It’s okay, I got the pants with the patches How I show ‘em what I’m missing, what a tactic Bogus bogus, don’t elicit no reaction Underwhelming, so complicit, I’ve done nothing to combat it (yeah, yeah) I don’t like collars I don’t like shopping These are like three years old I don’t know who bought ‘em And they’re saying “don’t get bangs,” I gotta take another route Skin purifying treatment but I’m always breaking out Slow down, slow down Now my head pounds, head pounds Keep telling myself I gotta act right And the same damn act is what I gotta get Clean! And the worst part is that they’re watching it all (You clean up real well, don’t you, ah) And the worst part is that they’re watching it all Slow down, slow down I don’t reach out, reach out Keep telling myself I gotta act right And the same damn act is what I gotta get Clean! Sandpaper, the way that it feels every night Way that my face is, not hurting, just unsatisfied Maybe it’s time wasted, all that I spent digging holes in my face Can’t you see all these craters? I’ll be clean once it gets out the way Sandpaper (And the worst part is that they’re watching it all) You clean up real well, don’t you, ah) And the worst part is that they’re watching it all

🕊 ~ Lyrics ~ Pillowcases in the washer, I could fix my posture But it’s gonna take some time, take some Decline the offer, wonder why my jaw hurts Probably gonna take some time, take some She parked the car, near the ritual I don’t sleep too much, she don’t feel enough Drink our sugar milk, fuck a diet Rub my face, too much time to kill Said I’d fix me up, get me new repair Toner for the heads round my eyelids Occupy my mind sometimes Say that and rewind sometimes End up wasting time sometimes Hit me on my telephone line Occupy my mind sometimes Say that and rewind sometimes End up wasting time sometimes Hit me on my telephone line It’s gonna take some time, take some It’s gonna take some time, take some I’ll be your drop dead manic pixie dream thing I’ll be your to die for, tell me what you’re feeling Line up make my eyes sore, having trouble seeing I’ll be your drop dead pretty little sweet thing Let me get it all right, oh, how unappealing Reach out for the drop dead scrawny little weakling Occupy my mind sometimes Say that and rewind sometimes End up wasting time sometimes Hit me on my telephone line Occupy my mind sometimes Say that and rewind sometimes End up wasting time sometimes Hit me on my telephone line It’s gonna take some time, take some It’s gonna take some time, take some

🕊 ~ Lyrics ~ What you tryna do? It’s 7:32 on a Saturday Is it chilly? Is it cold out? Let’s go to a show, check to see it might be sold out I just checked the time You asked me what’s your sign, what does that mean? I think I’m a Taurus, you’re a Cancer Caught up in semantics, do you like my dancing? Fuck Oh no, I’m good, but it’s been a couple months and I wanna get paid Well it must be in my bloodline Everybody tongue-tied Say we had a fun time, didn’t we? Keep talking ‘bout imaginary scars even though they’ve faded away Better watch me make your head spin Center of attention Center of attention It’s all good, you’re fine Why’s that weighing on your mind? You’re like 18 Matter of fact in April I went 19 Time be tryna spite me I think about you highly Never in the mood (never in the mood) Always ‘bout my attitude, all these bad lines Never read my lyrics, they’re an eyesore Don’t know what I write for I should live my life more Shit Oh no, I’m good, but it’s been a couple months and I wanna get paid Well it must be in my bloodline Everybody tongue-tied Say we had a fun time, didn’t we? Keep talking ‘bout imaginary friends even though they’ve faded away Better watch me make your head spin Center of attention Center of attention You, center of attention, center of attention, center of, yeah Woah, center of attention, center of attention Laze around, in my bed, woke up late, yet again Fuck around, play pretend, on my own, independent Song I gotta end it Center of attention Center of attention How’s your day? How’s your week? You should ask about me I’ve been good, lemme speak, I’ve been running out of tangents Wasn’t as intended Center of attention Center of attention Stuck again in my mind, what you doing? Hit my line Play that song one more time in the room that I got left in Palpable the tension Center of attention Center of attention How are you? Wanna work? Spilled my lunch on my shirt I’m the best, I’m the worst, do you like the way I’m stressing? Use it as a weapon Center of attention Center of attention

about

“I believe my first main project ‘skin purifying treatment’ resonated with as many people as it did because I was clearly struggling with something, but when I wrote ‘pay attention!’ I had reached a point where I was in a pretty good place mentally. The song tries to tackle the question of ‘should I be writing from a place of emotional struggle even if I’m not in it anymore, and if so, what exactly am I doing it for?’ “ - underscores
