SuperNatural Possession - Laura Jane Grace

SuperNatural Possession - Laura Jane Grace
2:05
Stay Alive, 2020
Written by Laura Jane Grace

The songs on this album were born of the COVID pandemic and the election it came just before.  Grace recorded them without embellishment, often only with acoustic guitar and maybe a drum machine.  This song is delivered with the usual vitriol and growl.  Is Grace talking about an ex-love or something bigger, maybe a zeitgeist of doom?  "I'm having a hard time having a fun time / I’m having a hard time finding faith in myself" were mantras on a great many people's minds as they remained unscathed but saw the destruction and dumb-fuck ignorance helping it right along.
