[glossy lintel]

i dont know half of these words

what the hell does mecurial mean

[neon kelp]

im high

[mossy folio]

I’ve always just sung this on illicit affairs but idk what it means

[night shuttle]

a song that had me looking up words like my life depended on it

[night shuttle]

a sudden or unpredictable change of mind

and dwindling means gradually lessening size / amount / whatever

so basically "a dwindling mercurial high" is fancy for "fading away" or "disappearing"

i think

Episode 3 of my take
“A dwindling mercurial high” - illicit affairs

not the most interesting or gutwrenching lyric in this devastating song, but it’s prob the most confusing

[night shuttle]

she was definitely high on that mercury while writing it

thats for sure

[keen egret]
