Rising Maryland-based indie artist Spring Silver, the brainchild of K Nkanza, returned with a glistening new track, “Another Perfect Day, Another Perfect Night.” Following up previous single release “Gold Star,” the new track sees them over grunge-laced, fuzzy instrumentals and soaring vocals. They juxtapose these upbeat elements with darker narratives surrounding the overwhelming attachment to social media and crafting the “perfect” page.
Check out the new Spring Silver track below and stay tuned to their socials for upcoming announcements about their forthcoming album due in summer.
“Everyone is more or less selling an idea of themselves, a slightly (or more than slightly haha) fictionalized version of themselves,” the artist says. “I’m not sure when I first came up with the lyrics and melody; but once they were in my head, I couldn’t get rid of them. So I figured, I have no choice but to use this really saccharine-sounding hook in a song.”
“Another Perfect Day, Another Perfect Night” Lyrics:
Another perfect day
Another perfect night
Another hollow frame to fill with tasks and social rites
Another perfect day
Another perfect night
Another hollow frame to fill with tasks and social rites
Are you content
To be consumed
Passed around like a chalice
Are you content
To be viewed
Perused like an atlas
Another perfect day
Another perfect night
Another me out there
Shaped in signals, in strangers’ minds
Am I content
To be consumed
Passed around like a chalice
Am I content
To be viewed
Perused like an atlas
Less of a person
More a projection
Fill in the unknown
With suggestions
Less of a person
More a projection
You have potential
Within these dimensions
The self I’ve flattened and framed on the virtual page
Constellated in minds, fueled by desire
Remade, a version that’s fake, in my own likeness
I can’t wait to watch it grow, warp, change
Another perfect day
Another perfect night
Another hollow frame to fill with tasks and social rites
Another perfect day
Another perfect night
Another me out there
Shaped in signals, in strangers’ minds
