lyrics

Your head fits right into my shoulder
My hands feel cold but yours feel colder
And you're burning up inside
I see the pain behind your eyes
I know my hands can't help from shaking
I can't stand thinking of him taking
The safety in your head
The comfort of your bed

We were too young to drink, too drunk to drive
Too young to feel these things inside
The westside's always pulling your burden straight into my current
She said it's too hard to comprehend
I just wanna feel safe again
The westside's always pulling, but you could never be a burden
It's alright, it's alright

Yeah we've gotten a bit older
We've learned to keep our composure
But we can't forget the nights
The blue skies or flashing lights
Your voice keeps ringing like a siren
I hear it louder still in silence
Yeah you're tough just like your love
And you've never given up

You hit me like a headrush, and hurt like a paper cut
And you're still in my head but just not in my heart
I mean it when I hope that you're ok
I hope you've made peace in your own way
And you're still in my head even though we've grown apart

We met way too young, grew up too fast
The love that we had could never last
But the westside's always pulling
Returning you into my current

The Mortal Coil
by Polaris

supported by 7 fans who also own “Westside”

Not a fan of the new album but this Polaris album is just what I love about metalcore. Saw them live in CH last year and on stage they are amazing. If you're new to Polaris (doubt it) start here ! sachavonkarl74

Panorama
by La Dispute

supported by 7 fans who also own “Westside”

Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!) Mikey

Letters To Our Former Selves
by Youth Fountain

supported by 7 fans who also own “Westside”

Thanks for helping me get through separating with the first person I had a real relationship with. Manages to be excellent sad pop punk a la The Story So Far except with an actual singer and lyrics that aren’t misogynistic like TSSF and so many bands of that cohort. dirtycommiescum

Hydranism
by Oracle Sisters

Recorded on the Grecian isle of Hydra, this is blissed-out psych pop with stacked falsetto harmonies and luscious arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 9, 2023

Blue Pine Vol. 2
by Wisbands

Two dozen 12-string acoustic improvisations that feel undeniably haunting, like lost transmissions from ancient Appalachia, rediscovered. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 17, 2022
