The midpoint and title track's counterpart is "Bathtub Born", and some might say it is the sappy solo nonsequitur of the album. This song was born on the loop pedal in February of 2022 after Sophia had a traumatic encounter with an old partner and some healing reflections about it while taking a bath. She wanted to wrap her mind around the fact that people who commit violence are grappling with their own loneliness, are in a hell of their own making, and have built harmful dams between their actions and their ability to peacefully reconcile those actions. Not everyone should invite this consideration, but thinking about this helped Sophia heal from her experience. This moody art pop disruption to a primarily indiefunk record is brought back to center by the album's title track that follows.
Lyrics
Oh, climbing back in my womb tonight
My own was needing repairs
From a stone-blown cold lone wolf running his own state of affairs
Oh, should’ve stayed in my room tonight
Writing a song like this or that
But that’s the thing about life
You do stupid things here and there just to see how you react
Tell me
Isn’t it lonely
Carryin’ the weight of the world on your own?
Tell me
Isn’t it lonely
Carryin’ the weight of the world on your own?
Climbing back in my womb tonight
My own was needing repairs
Her blunted stones stacked in her river bed
Where water slowly slipped back through her ruffled hair
Oh, curled up in my womb tonight
Salving the scratches and the bites
They say sticks and stones can break your bones
But it can also keep you running from a loving home
Shed me
Shed me one tear
Into my hands from the eyes of your soul
Shed me
Shed me one tear
Into my hands from the eyes of your soul
I wish I could breathe with my ears
So I could listen to the songs you sent me
With my face underwater
The songs you send me every day my muse
The face you see every day renewed
The songs you send me every day my muse
The face you see every day renewed
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, ahhh
