Listen carefully to the little drum beat going into the last chorus. You can hear a metal pipe accidentally slipping and falling on to a beer keg in perfect time. Donnie must have helped out with that. :)
lyrics
Shootin' up junk in the back of your car
Playing games with your veins like some old guitar
You know where to go, but you're going too far
Take a look at the road, do you know where you are,
Donnie?
Oh, don't let yourself go
You got a lot of life to live kid, if you'd only quit this,
You might just miss it if you don't.
You dove in the snow without any clothes
You're stuffed up on drugs and too numb to get cold.
It get's in your head before it blows up your nose.
Strung out on a cloud and ready for more
Donnie.
Oh, don't let yourself go
You got a baby and a mother and a brother who love you
And a dad that can't see it happen again.
An overdose of opiates did him in
(poppin' pills just like corn in the microwave)
And daddy had to bury his son again
(so sad to see you go on such a perfect day)
Mama's sad, brother's mad and baby just don't understand why his daddy's sleeping the people are weeping. Why's he never coming back again?
Oh, Shea, baby he let himself go. Don't you ever no, oh don't you ever no, oh don't you ever let it go.

This is the first album I found that really spoke to me as a young fem.
From the simplicity, the bass drum, specifically in landfill is so steady and soothing. I love landfill because it perfectly portrays trauma bonds, sexual or romantic relationships rooted in power imbalance. Being led on, unrequited love, constantly being clueless if someone is a real friend, or a lover. Are they yours or are they ruthlessly rogue. Untameable. Love and hate are such similar feelings, and they often mingle. clementinehatepageichangedmymind
