about

Blank Spaces’ turns around a feeling of longing, her song-chant bounces along the tracks of
a looping sample of a train, which gradually disintegrates until there’s nothing left except
an ever-collapsing phrase “All those blank spaces / giving me aching / to chase it / more”.

lyrics

Flash-back
Like smoking on old dried up cigarettes
The craving - the hard suck
Crackles bright burn of regret
I went into it
Both eyes open
Filled up with a fiction
Will you be my saviour? My family? A reason?
I took your mute reply as yes
And opened good and wide
And all the blank spaces
Gave made me aching to chase it more
Oh

How can you miss what you never had?
How can you miss what you never had?

Fixed my eyes up to the clouds and think I was looking up
And when the rain came down
It filled my eyes right to the top
The light went in the water
Bent the world right out of shape
And when the sun shone in my eyes
The colours split and quake
I turned to you to share a peach
But you were somewhere else
Gone gone gone

How does a nothing
Become a something
If they were never there
Then what is there to replace?
How does a nothing
Become a something
If they were never there
Then what is there to replace?
How does a nothing
Become a something


The ache fills my body
My limbs get thick
Now I don’t see you anymore
You’ve gotten so big in my head
Aching to chase it more

How can you miss what you never had?
How can you miss what you never had?
And all the blank spaces
Give me an aching to chase it more
How can you miss what you never had?
How can you miss what you never had?
And all the blank spaces
Give me an aching to chase it more

All the blank spaces
Giving me aching to chase it more
All the blank spaces
Giving me an aching to chase it more
All the blank spaces
Giving me an aching to chase it more
All the blank spaces
Giving me an aching to chase it more
