Lyrics
Too much, too much Mmm I want out of the moment Taken too much, oh I can't, can't afford to let it go Is there no such place where I follow intention Thinking too much, oh Will you always be Wide awake after I fall asleep, evergreen Will you always be Wide awake after I fall asleep, ever coloring Catatonic Elysian I need you to speak when we're alone Even though, Catatonic Elysian I just want to feel less alone Even though Too much to consume without choking on bodies Always crawling, crawling I can't afford to go slow And I know nothing breaks without Terminal tension If I call it here, then you'll always be Wide awake after I fall asleep, evergreen Will you always be Wide awake after I fall asleep, ever coloring Catatonic Elysian I need you to speak when we're alone Even though, Catatonic Elysian I just want to feel less alone Even though Catatonic Elysian I need you to speak when we're alone Even though, Catatonic Elysian I just want to feel less alone Even though, Catatonic Elysian I just want to feel less alone Even though, Catatonic Elysian I just want to feel less alone Even though
Content
FEiN single (October 22, 2021), co-written by Luke Francis Walton and Brandon Michael Woodward. Discogs: self-released WAV single · 3:41 · Electronic / Rock / Pop · Alternative Rock · produced by FEiN · mixed by Cary Singer · mastered by Riley Knapp · ISRC QZ2QB2100003: same engineering chain as 800,000, Culling, and Liminal, not the Frank Rosato Woodcliff lane on Little Homes. Not on the 2016 LP; later-era FEiN, same duo as Behave and Delicate (2021 cluster).
Overload at the edge of release. The opening races past its own intention (I want out of the moment) and the chorus reframes love as insomnia: will you always be wide awake after I fall asleep. Catatonic Elysian, paradise frozen, repeats I just want to feel less alone until the word wears thin.
The title lands in verse two. Too much to consume without choking on bodies makes consumption both literal and social, and nothing breaks without terminal tension is FEiN's drama physics in one line. Less satirical than Little Homes, less apocalyptic than 800,000: intimate claustrophobia in theatrical-pop dress.
