You must be somebody special The whole world at your feet I’m running constantly You’re the killer of my dreams You know you must be Somebody special Somebody special to me You know you must be Somebody special Somebody special to me You must be lost in your castle They’re throwing petals at your feet Assume your fate at the threshold You’re the killer of my dreams You know you must be Somebody special Somebody special to me You know you must be Somebody special Somebody special to me

Human Client 03:49
Summer in the Everglades Skinned knees on rollerblades It’s nice to get some air So far away from there So far from there You get to know this place Way out here without a trace The trees turn into your friends They’ll all say hi again Hello, again Save yourself for another day Kill the pain that gets in the way Fuck the ones who don’t want to stay ‘Cause I don’t wanna die for anyone but me My mind plays tricks on me Shadows of jealousy Ambers of our quiet dreams Turn to flames of deafening screams There’s nothing to live for without you Or so it seems Save yourself for another day Kill the pain that gets in the way Fuck the ones who don’t want to stay ‘Cause I don’t wanna die for anyone but me We are nothing but the stars above

She Nods 03:45
Baby’s got a broken wing Sounds just like she’s crooning when she sings Age is just a number in my dreams Wonder how she’ll sound in the spring God, she loves the songs that I play My CD-R will surely make her stay She agrees with everything that I say ‘Cause she nods, yeah All her words are landing on deaf ears I’m realizing all of her worst fears When she cries I’m bathing in her tears I’ve got her brain in formaldehyde for years God, she loves the songs that I play My CD-R will surely make her stay She agrees with everything that I say ‘Cause she nods, yeah

Curse 02:40
Is it really a surprise to me That they’re taking you seriously? I always had the very best seats Now they’re calling you off of the streets Your face is now a sharpened jaw All these women are in shock and awe That such a nice guy Could be so unrefined It’s like an ancient dug up curse Is what you leave will be what’s worse? I don’t care There’s no one out in the upper lot For us to be seen or caught I’ve been hoarding all of your tapes again I know you’ve got a slot at 10 I’ll be waiting with my work in tow Knowing how these conversations tend to go Your eyes don’t read “I’m fine” But I can’t stop thinking of you as mine Just for now It’s like an ancient dug up curse Is what you leave will be what’s worse? I don’t care

Glamorous and beautiful With dirt under her fingernails Cautiously optimistic But sneering at the lens I spend a morning lying And staring at the ceiling Feeling sad that I’m not shiny Well, not a pretty kind of sad Misery loves company And I’m the CEO I’d rather hit rock bottom in my bathroom Than on the radio The thirst I seem to lust after Is never satisfied Depraved and unafraid We’re human husks of capital Since when did I become a figment of A faded ellipses One day I’ll get all better And they’ll never expect me… Misery loves company And I’m the CEO I’d rather hit rock bottom in my bathroom Than on the radio

Sugar Rush 03:10
Up on your rooftop Able to jump You’re counting planets I’m feeling a lump You sounded ready I can’t help but try To hold back words that You may not like A sugar rush and super nova light Is blurring my hindsight But love is something that you can’t quantify I’m not ready for goodbyes My mind is hazy A set in a cage The lights are burning For minimum wage The devil greets me We get along fine A girl can dream of What should be mine A sugar rush and super nova light Is blurring my hindsight But love is something that you can’t quantify I’m not ready for goodbyes

about

She Nods is a spectral reflection of the confusion, submission, and alienation of a young teen girl. Written to heal past wounds, Marina Sakimoto attempts to find solace and closure by exploring her most vulnerable memories through moody guitar riffs, taut solos, and unknowing atmosphere. Sakimoto explores the dialectic between these themes with melodic buoyancy and clever storytelling.
