thoughts: same wavelength as SOPHIE's debut but in the way that we are not there to that utopia, like we have to fight our way from the dystopian society that we are in right now. as prideful and very lgbt-centered it is, it's still very angry and frustrated that you want to wipe out the planet and start anew as if it's trying to prove itself to you.
fav track: la chiquí
