lyrics
Grab your backpack, your gas mask, take a walk to school
No more cars but the scars, miles under your shoes
Survival in this world’s what they teaching you
No more jobs but the original
Money you know it as the root of all evil
But you’re alive only thanks to your daddy’s gold
You wonder why isn’t everybody equal
How can it be that the life we had was legal
Why the people did this to themselves
Knowing quite well what was happening then
I try to tell you, it wasn’t that simple
But excuses fall short compared to the real issue
The economics, the political
The short term and the long term, there were concerns, it was difficult
The denial of it all by some of the elite
Even though the scientific facts did exist
So sorry girl, I wish you could have known the world as we did
It was a pearl, a wonder that you did deserve
I know it hurts to grow hearing about the earth that we killed
It was a pearl, a wonder that you did deserve, Petite Fleur
You’re the rose from the concrete, real flowers don’t grow no more
No more fish in the sea, gone like dinosaurs
The forest is gone, no more walks in the woods
We live in a bubble, we struggle for good
We’re misunderstood by the new generation
Who hold us responsible in their equation
Education’s still an obligation
but the situation makes it hard to listen
Our children will never have children
unless we find ways to escape this prison
Not much reason to look forward to anything
Cause anything’s a reason to feel emptiness
Happiness and comfort are concepts of the past
We removed all the mirrors, couldn’t look ourselves in the glass
Our selfishness made us forget to be conscious
Now you’re stuck in this fortress, Petite Fleur
So sorry girl, I wish you could have known the world as we did
It was a pearl, a wonder that you did deserve
I know it hurts to grow hearing about the earth that we killed
It was a pearl, a wonder that you did deserve, Petite Fleur
An album dissecting the ramifications of loss, full of drumless climaxes, stripped-down acoustics, and soul-searching lyrics. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 13, 2017
Berlin artist condenses multiple decades' worth of pop zeitgeists—glam, grunge, Y2K-era R&B—down to 12 charismatic, genre-bending tracks. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 15, 2023
A stunning set of post-modern swan songs from Berlin artist Nalan, contrasting gloomy 808s and anguished vocals with ebullient hooks. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 5, 2022
