about

Written on a whim in the summer of 2018

lyrics

How much have I changed
In the last 3 years?
I look like I’ve grown but I
Still feel immature in many ways
Maybe my roots are firmly planted
Maybe I try holding on too tight for my own good

Pretending to be stronger than I am
Is the only thing I can do right
Otherwise I’m fucking up and vulnerable and stuck in the same place I started
Why can’t I be strong enough for myself?
Im the same as I was in high school
But with more notches on my belt

I’m in my 2nd decade
And I’m counting in 3’s
It feels like I have to make a choice but
I know that no ones forcing me
Maybe I should cut the strings that are now attached
Maybe I would save myself from the past if I did

Pretending to be stronger than I am
Is the only thing I can do right
Otherwise I’m fucking up and vulnerable and stuck in the same place I started
Why can’t I be strong enough for myself?
Im the same as I was in high school
But with more notches on my bed post

about

Hersilia Edmonton, Alberta

Edmonton’s emo darlings Hersilia write songs with the
raucous energy of a can of Lucky Lager at the dingiest house show,
featuring lyrics with the tender insight of a lonely single-malt nightcap
when the party is over. Their LP Rot & Rebirth refines the sound they started
developing with their 2018 EP Concrete Flora, and sands down the rough
edges of that EP while preserving it’s earnest charm.
