Slide Tackle lyrics:

I want to be good
I want to navigate this hate in my heart
Somewhere better
I want to feel it
But with the feel, there is an ache I meet
To desire living

[Chorus]
Don't mind me while
I'm tackling this void
Slide tackling my mind
This weight feels like
I'm wrestling with my head
Obsessing in the dark

So be good to me, be good to me
You and me always had a good time
And what else is left, babe?
So be good to me, be good to me
The day's not a wash until you say

[Chorus]
Don't mind me while
I'm tackling this void
Slide tackling my mind
Long nights where I'm
I'm wrestling with my head
Obsessing in the dark
Obsessing in the dark

Written by Michelle Zauner / Horn arrangements by Craig Hendrix

Japanese Breakfast official bio:

From the moment she began writing her new album, Michelle Zauner of Japanese Breakfast (@jbrekkie) knew that she wanted to call it Jubilee. After all, a jubilee is a celebration of the passage of time—a festival to usher in the hope of a new era in brilliant technicolor. Zauner’s first two albums garnered acclaim for the way they grappled with anguish; Psychopomp was written as her mother underwent cancer treatment, while Soft Sounds From Another Planet took the grief she held from her mother‘s death and used it as a conduit to explore the cosmos. Now, at the start of a new decade, Japanese Breakfast is ready to fight for happiness, an all-too-scarce resource in our seemingly crumbling world.

In the years leading up to Jubilee, Zauner also took theory lessons and studied piano in earnest for the first time, in an effort to improve her range as a songwriter: “I’ve never wanted to rest on any laurels. I wanted to push it as far as it could go, inviting more people in and pushing myself as a composer, a producer, an arranger.” She pours that sentiment into the album from the very beginning.

Jubilee is an album about processing life and love in the quest for happiness, and how that process sometimes requires us to step outside of ourselves. Throughout Jubilee, Zauner is hardly fictionalizing her lyrics, instead pouring her own life into the universe of each song to tell real stories, and allowing those universes, in turn, to fill in the details. Joy, change, evolution—these things take real time, and real effort. And Japanese Breakfast is here for it.
