about

"Flipper" by Foyer Red is out 5/17/2022

“Following the release of their debut, Pitchfork-approved, EP from last year, Foyer Red returns with the twee and carefree freak-punk single “Flipper.” The new track continues the band's brand of immediate and engaging “fuck-you crayon rock,” crafting fantastical and otherworldy realities in their stream-of-consciousness songwriting style. “Flipper” is playfully disjointed, with short, disconnected sonic arcs and lyrical vacillations between “reality” and Foyer Red’s dreamt-up post-apocalyptic world. Focusing on the satirical persona who drones on dramatically about hunger; the kind of silly girl (lead singer Elana Riordan) who goes to the bodega to buy more rolling papers and hangs out for a long while looking at snacks, waiting for something to happen. In its big, chaotic ending, the song’s narrator finds purpose, rage, and strength, in a way that will protect her for millions of years.”

lyrics

FLIPPER

i’m having sunny side-up dreams that i can’t undo
licorice twists in my personal bliss
but you ruin it
carnivorous creatures, optimal screechers
for consumables

it was just a dream i had one day
i hope it goes away

i never thought it'd be the last time
now you won’t spend a dime on me
and i'm so hungry

swisher sweetie at the corner store
i’ll get some more again

doesn’t anyone want to feel badly anymore?
a too cold night dressed to your delight
sweetened by the ba da ba da da da da da
doesn’t anyone want to feel badly anymore?
onrushing impressions, second guessing the way
ba da ba da da da da da

i’m a ravenous creature left to roam the earth
set against a scorching sphere
no one here, my own frontier
rusted into this warzone
i’m all alone, i have no bones (no bones)
not yet full grown, i’d eat your bones
bones, bones
