Algiers – Mme Rieux Lyrics

Mme Rieux by Algiers
Album : The Underside of Power
Released : 2017

She always is standing on a ledge atop the landing
And we feign a smile because we’ve reached an understanding

Not to think or dwell on anything
Anything of import
Despite this precarious precipice

And our conversation drags from the slight to exegesis

And her voice begs for comfort
But I cannot resist
To lie about my relationship

My relationship with that word: Abstraction

Abstraction
Abstraction
Abstraction

○ Listen to “Algiers” Songs

● “Irony. Utility. Pretext. ”

YouTube video

[ Quotable ]
Find your favorite color
So you can wash it out
In your hymns
Correcting primitive cracks
Into straight lines
Superiority is born again

● “But She Was Not Flying ”

YouTube video

[ Quotable ]
And now he flips the coin of power with all of his friends
Deciding who is fit to go out and die
And who is black enough to be left behind
And who will model their exceptional lie
And just how many they can *** at the border line

● “And When You Fall ”

YouTube video

[ Quotable ]
When you got itYou forgot it was never yoursYou won’t know how but when it falls down
You’ll know exactly who we are
