DarkArc001
Hell of a way to kick off our catalogue
THE GREAT COLLIDEHER
The Great CollideHer stands as Lilit Vega’s definitive statement on personal autonomy and the duality of the ‘self’.
Forged in our concrete cellars from a chaotic cloud of Lillit’s beats and a story ripped from pages of fiercely honest, handwritten lyrics, this track documents a person’s soul splitting with their occussed life and thei ‘evil twin’..
Driven by dense tape saturation, an unrelenting sub-bass engine, and a razor-sharp vocal delivery that cuts cleanly through the analog hiss, the release sets an uncompromising benchmark for the entire archive.
DarkArc001 is a fitting track to kick off The Tapes’ releases, hold on for the ride.
“Modern life is such a rush, a blur, sometimes you wish you had another self to take the blame for all your fuck-ups”
LISTEN NOW
I know a girl, and I’m nothing like her.
I live a full five feet beside her.
All her wrongs, they built up inside her —
Turned her hard heart into The Great Collider.
-
I know a girl, and I’m nothing like her.
I live a full five feet beside her.
She’s got all her mistakes twisted up inside her —
She turned her heart into The Great Collider.
I hope her friends can see, can see —
The fuck-ups she makes are not down to me.
Really, I feel so sorry for that tumbling freak;
So on the mistakes she makes, I do not speak.
I have a story that you’ll find sad,
Of all the heartache that made a good girl bad.
Bad, but not evil — no, I didn’t mean that;
She’s just on the wrong side of every track.
She broke the heart of every heart she had,
Drove every lover ten kinds of mad —
Making nothing but woe, alas, alack,
Said a lotta things she could never take back.
I know a girl, and I’m nothing like her.
I live a full five feet beside her.
All her wrongs, they built up inside her —
Turned her hard heart into The Great Collider.
She still has people, unbelievably.
I hope they can come get close and see
That I tried to help, but she’s beyond me —
That I tried, really, to not be weak, every week,
To give her things she was too scared to seek.
If you see clearly, you’ll surely see
That dum-dum girl is nought like me.
I don’t spend my nights a soul alone,
Shouting at mirrors, throwing my phone.
I don’t surround myself with fakers and powder —
’Cause that just makes the haters shout louder and louder.
I never shut my mind to find the top of the tree;
Never made myself blind so I wouldn’t find me.
I think I know a girl, but I’m sure I’m nothing like her.
It’s an easy mistake when I’m stood right beside her.
She’s the one with secrets falling right outside her —
She’s the one they whisper is The Great Collider.
Now let me repeat, because I want to be clear —
The real reason why I called you here…
You know that girl, right? Yes, that’s the one.
She’s not like me — she’s a real dum-dum.
Not a fuck-up as much, but really no fun,
And I’d still never do half the things she’s done.
Yes, I’m a little wrapped tight, but you’ll find me much kinder;
I’m not some great shell that has nothing inside her.
She’s not a bad person, so I can’t say I mind her —
But it’s important to be clear, so here’s a reminder:
We all know that girl, and that I’m nothing like her.
We’re all real sorry about that tiger rider.
And the things that bite, fight, and scratch inside —
We can’t help that she’s The Great Collider.
We all know that girl, and that I’m nothing like her.
We’re all real sorry about that tiger rider.
And the things that bite, fight, and scratch inside —
We can’t help that she’s The Great Collider.
I know a girl, and I’m nothing like her.
I live a full five feet beside her.
She’s got all her mistakes twisted up inside her —
She turned her heart into The Great Collider.
