about

New single "How it is" grew out of an attempt at writing a "proper riff" according to Bo Milli, "something bold and
power-chordy and maybe a bit dumb". Lyrically the track proposes an interesting juxtaposition between apathy and
youthful determination, seeing her lament procrastination, admit to being on the verge of tears for days at a time and
recount thinking she might die on the 10-hour bus ride home.

lyrics

I’d been hungover on the bus, wearing my winter coat for three hours
Before I realized I was so warm I thought I might die
It was the second day in a row on the verge of crying
And I had no idea as to why

And you know, you know, you know
How it is

Filled with a buzzing kind of dread
I’m going out, I’m going out of my head
And I had things to do, decided to not do them
Instead

(And you know)

I was the drunkest person there
when somebody put on that strokes hit
In the moment it seemed
Pretty obvious that yes, this really is it

And you know, you know, you know
How it is

Filled with a buzzing kind of dread
I’m going out, I’m going out of my head
And I had things to do, decided to not do them
Instead

(And you know)

And I’m all right everything’s just gone a bit stale
Since I became a coward
pertified I’ll fail

Filled with a buzzing kind of dread
I’m going out, I’m going out of my head
And I had things to do, decided to not do them
Instead

(And you know)
Instead
(And you know)
