about

'Faint' follows a blooming relationship where the narrator feels as if it's all a fairytale-like dream. In this dream however, they're inadequate and not functioning as they should [I'm the walking doll, but I can't walk at all]. The other in the relationship accepts these shortcomings, unaware of the 'blister on the heart' the narrator bears, inadvertently diminishing and crushing them [break my bones tonight, break my promise] [your love is violence]. The flame of their bond is kept alive only by fleeting elation: momentarily forgetting all else.

"Himera and I made this song with a quick burst of magic; they sent over the song and I recorded my vocals all in the same day." - Instupendo

lyrics

I kiss the stars at night
I hold a thousand lives
A blister on my heart
I wrap it up so tight
Wake into a dream
You take me by the teeth
A new wave of heat washes over me
Got your lips on my eyes
Baby be honest
I’m the walking doll but I can’t walk at all
Got your hands on the harp
Baby I’m falling
Break my bones tonight break my promise
I’m falling
And as long as you hold my wings
I’ll sit quietly
Promise
And as long as you take the hint
I’ll die smiling (your love is violence)
I’m the walking doll but I can’t walk at all
I kiss the stars at night
I hold a thousand lives

A blister on my heart
I wrap it up so tight
Wake into a dream
You take me by the teeth
A new wave of heat washes over me

I’m the walking doll but I can’t walk at all
(I’m the walking doll)
