about

‘Olympia’ is a pillowy-pop delight that further showcases Howlite's affinity for elemental, cinematic dreamscapes. The song offers a second taste from their forthcoming EP, Not Here, and builds on the ethereal, indie foundations of their previous release ‘Reducer’.

lyrics

Venus shines through me in my opacity
A copy/copy/copy photocopy
Watch me endlessly
How can you only look at me when I think I'm not being seen?
How come you only ever prey when I have turned to look away?

Exquisite corpse, the truth is ugly
Just admit it - you don't want something real

Out of the corner of your eye
(I will stare you down, I will stare you down)
I am your masterpiece
(I will outlast you now, I will outlast you now)

What is there to rehearse - the cradle or the hearse?
Reverse the systems and inverse
I'm getting younger - lift the curse
But sickness brings the nurse
Time it passes, all my plans fall through
And I cast shadows on all of the things I do - I cast shadows over you

I am not two dimensional
Just admit it - you don't want something real

Out of the corner of your eye
(I will stare you down, I will stare you down)
I am your masterpiece
(I will outlast you now, I will outlast you now)

I will stare you down, I will stare you down ...
