best of 2022 • Hurray for the Riff Raff • SAGA



Before Alynda Segarra (she/they), who records under the moniker Hurray for the Riff Raff, went into the studio to record the mostly excellent Life on Earth, their eighth album, they had decided on a new plan of action. Instead of trying to save the world, they would try to save themselves.


Take it
They always want you to take it
Just close your eyes, baby, fake it
Burning inside-out
Shaking
Screaming hysterical, I get
Lost in an ocean of regret
Burning inside-out
Cold feet
I was a kid, I was lonely
Would've done anything only
To be by his side
I can't speak
I get to feel in my heartbeat
It's been a terrible news week
And I don't know how
Oh, I don't know how
But I, I don't want this to be
The saga of my life
The saga of my life
The saga of my, I
I just wanna be free
Get over it in time
Push it out of my mind
Cold feet
I was a kid, I was lonely
He pushed me down on the concrete
Oh, I can't speak
I get to feel in my heartbeat
I'll just make it through this week
And I'll get out alive
But I don't know how
Oh, I don't know how
And I, I don't want this to be
The saga of my life
The saga of my life
The saga of my, I
I just wanna be free
Get over it in time
Push it out of my mind
Nobody believed me
Nobody believed me
Nobody believed me
Nobody believed me
Oh, nobody believed me
Nobody believed
Oh, nobody believed me
Nobody believed me
