about
"in an empty house, where Minnie Mouse, mimicking the perfect spouse, prepares rice day in day out"
For many Japanese women I met while living in Tokyo, Minnie is the ideal housewife.
It is common to get married at Disneyland with the iconic character making an apparition during the ceremony.
I explore my frustrations with Japan and its patriarchy, while missing my life in A'dam.
I also nod to my teen love of Silverchair's "Cemetery", with a faster phrasing and feat. a glass harmonica.
lyrics
chasing cheap static chicks like you
it's a dangerous game to underestimate you
I miss eating from the floor
skipping all chores
wiping dirty hands on my secondhand clothes
clone you little bitches
from far you shine and close you stink
you're not a feminist, just a feminine trick
a clone of a gimmick
the most dangerous game is
chasing you
d'you really buy your own cemetery?
in an empty house
where Minnie Mouse
mimicking the perfect spouse
prepares rice day in day out
train a perfect child
sport a perfect blouse
the highest heels are crowned
by the reddest nails around
d'you really buy your own cemetery?
I don't really buy a life so ordinary
Terrific jangle pop with an edge, somewhere between Television Personalities and R.E.M. with a bit of Kinks in there, too. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 2, 2023
