We're Still Here

about

This is a TRIUMPHANT club banger about seizing the moment for goth dancing! 

It is IRONIC because the night I wrote it was the 2nd of 4 planned club outings last month I was too ill to attend. Much of the song was written in a bath full of epsom salt. I've been having problems with my back and some other stuff that has been a huge bummer. But it's better now, and if it gets really bad in another week I will know it's probably endometriosis, which will be super super fun to deal with at age 42. :|

I am hoping to get some remixes done of this song. If you are interested in remixing it, please hit me up and I'll make sure you're informed when stems are posted (probably next week, but I'll do a big push about it early next year, and offer some number of dollars to a small number of remixers then.)

lyrics

We’re Still Here

I am coming out tonight
I don’t wanna waste another moment
{I know I would regret it}
My hair is turning grey
All these wrinkles on my face are going nowhere
But I don’t cry over it

We are the lucky ones: we’re still here!
So fight your battles
And spill your tears

Pedal to the metal to the—

Lipstick hairspray pointy boots
Hand-rolled cloves and good friends who know all the gossip
I had it but I lost it

I was never cool enough
To be noticed when I wasn’t out there
So come on let’s get out there!

We are the lucky ones: we’re still here!
So fight your battles
And spill your tears
Take some damage
And kill your fear
We are the lucky ones: we’re still here!

What if this your last dance
What is this is your last chance hear music
Physical, electric

And across the dancefloor
Mirror spirits who are here to see through you
Like they know what’s before you

[And I’ll love them better now they’re dead
And they love me better now they’re dead]

We are the lucky ones: we’re still here!
So fight your battles
And spill your tears
Taste the damage
And kill your fear
We are the lucky ones: we’re still here!

When will I have had enough?
When will the banks be full
When will I have gathered enough to remember
When will the last dance occur?
We are still the lucky ones
However much it hurts
