TEMPORARY MOOD SWINGS

Soko

The official video for this song stars Soko as "the dirty girl", Matt Ornstein as "the master", and Jake Hoffman, AJ English, Matt Campbell, Greg Moore, Chris Gibson as greasers. Soko told Kim Taylor Bennett of Noisey Magazine: "I was driving back home at 4 AM and saw that car wash with disgusting lights and it looked like a movie scene. I instantly knew I wanted to shoot something there, where I'm a little sub and people come and wash my sins away!

"The song is about my childhood mostly." Soko continued. "When you don't have any communication skills and you express your sadness by crying and throwing tantrums because no adults would lend an ear to talk your emotions out peacefully, throwing tantrums sadly because it is the only form of communication you have. It’s also about me trying to be a better person and break patterns and cycles that don’t work."

LYRICS

Temporary mood swings
Throwing tantrums is my best gift
Now let me show you my best fits
It's my best fits
It's my best fits
It's my best fits, it's mine

Temporary mood swings
Praying a prayer so I don't get old
Smiling a smile that I can't control
And I can't control
I can't control
I can't control, much more

Temporary mood swings
Now let me show you my expertise
I will perform just a little tease
I scream, I shout
O way too loud
I laugh, I dance
I pee my pants
I scream, I shout
Way too loud
I laugh, I dance, in such a trance

O temporary mood swings
I am a victim of my own desire
In hope that you like me better
I want to be good
I want to be good
I want to be good
Till you like me better
I want to be good
I want to be good
I want to be good
Till you like me better

oh oh, it's only temporary. oh temporary.

Temporary people
Soon there will be nothing to remember
So let your heart grow o so tender
And be my best gift
Be my best gift
And be my best gift. Be mine.

Unconventional temperament
I am an antisocial mess
And I suffer from heavy stress
I'm antisocial, antisocial
And I want to be good

oh oh, it's only temporary. oh temporary.
