Dream In Dripping Colors

Lady Lamb “Even In the Tremor”

“Even in the Tremor” has a restless, twitchy feeling to it. It’s not quite an anxious energy – it’s more like having more energy and emotion than feels comfortable, and feeling thwarted in your attempts to shake it off. Lady Lamb sings the song with a tough, confident voice. It’s a very “let’s cut the bullshit” tone, and it’s directed as much outward as it is inward. It seems at first that she’s addressing a romantic partner, but upon closer listening it just sounds like she’s mostly just laying into herself and trying to make sense of both her emotional state and her relationship with the past. The chorus really stands out here: “The future kills the present if I let it.” What a wonderfully ambiguous phrase! I tend to not be a very sentimental person and forget a lot, so it sounds reassuring to me. I can imagine a lot of other people would find that notion totally horrifying.
