"It's all about real time, real things -
Anything I can touch, I can feel, I can dream lo-fi, low-key living -
She's all about no time, no things -
Anything she can find is a bliss -
In her ear father softly whispers -
Lily Flower -
Lily flower died of thirst when I tried to show her to the desert -
Now her leaves fall, I'm trying to let the raindrops touch the colours of her petals -
Anything, realize, coming down -
Will affect you, in a better sense too -
Write in low case on the side notes -
Capitol fear -
It's all about true times, true things -
Anything she can find will begin to give in slighty softer breathing -
Lily Flower -
Lily flower died of thirst when I tried to show her to the desert -
Now her leaves fall, I'm trying to let the raindrops touch the colours of her petals
It's all about a quick turn, slow burn -
Fast talk is in her mouth again -
Then became apparent that she knew this -
But she doesn't care about that -
No, she doesn't care about that no -
Lily Flower -
Lily flower died of thirst when I tried to show her to the desert -
Now her leaves fall, I'm trying to let the raindrops touch the colours of her petals -
But then became apparent that she knew this -"

Sweden's Catharina Jaunviksna, aka Badlands, creates gently glowing '80s-inspired pop - think of it as new wave in pastel rather than neon. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 2, 2021
