“Tender wanted to take the direction of a fragmented and collapsing relationship with this one. I decided to touch on the different dynamics which a relationship can hold.
Beyond “happiness” and “sadness”, there are times when two people are just on different paths. No matter the effort they put in, something else is putting them off-kilter and out-of-synch. Call it bad timing, differences, whatever. People also become desensitised to one another, almost reaching slumber, unaware and oblivious to the other’s feelings.
The energy of ‘Nadir’ screams dance to me, so I thought it would be interesting to express these dynamics through contemporary dance.“ -Jack A. Bowden.
We were like an empty glass, these things weren’t built to last
So put your face on and smile when they talk to you
It’s not too hard, show complete disregard
For anybody but yourself
I hate it when you touch me but I kept it under wraps
Get bored during foreplay and I think we’re getting fat
Tried to go the distance but we’re only wasting time
Who’re we kidding?
This is our Divide
Need to go our separate ways,
I’m too scared if you stay
We’ll hold another grudge, who am I to judge
If I will wake up one day and miss you too much
Yeah we play with high stakes, it’s a risk I need to take
Dirty beds and Motels, cast your spell on someone else
But you, but you
You’ll be happy over time
Thank fuck for our decline
With all I’ve done and all I say
I’ve been loving you in a different way
Tried to explain, wash away the pain
Things were never gonna stay the same
This is our Divide
Need to go our separate ways,
I’m too scared if you stay
We’ll hold another grudge, who am I to judge
If I will wake up one day and miss you too much
Yeah we play with high stakes, it’s a risk i need to take
Dirty beds and Motels, cast your spell on someone else
But you, but you
You’ll be happy over time
Thank fuck for our decline
