Phase Lyrics
i'll be your biggest fan, i will be your fool
i'll be your exception to every rule
and i ain't the type to bitch
i ain't the type to cry
i'll sit at your red light
and wait for your ship to go by
and this vague little smile is my all-purpose expression
the meaning of which I will leave to your discretion
yeah my distraction is my defense against this lack of inspiration
against this slowly deflation
yeah the further the horizon you know the more it warps my gaze
the foreground's out of focus but you know I kinda hope it's
just a phase, just a phase
just a phase, just a phase
just a phase, just a phase
just a phase
i've been through and through this, i know just how it goes
you'll have no idea, you'll have no need to know
i will make your body grow wings and take flight
i will erase sound, i will erase light
i said this vague little smile is my all-purpose expression
the meaning of which I will leave to your discretion
yes my distraction is my defense against this lack of inspiration
against this slowly deflation
yeah the further the horizon the more it warps my gaze
and the foreground's out of focus but you know i kinda hope it's
just a phase, just a phase
just a phase, just a phase
just a phase, just a phase
just a phase
i'll be your exception to every rule
i ain't the type to cry
i'll sit at your red light
and wait for your ship to go by
the meaning of which I will leave to your discretion
against this slowly deflation
yeah the further the horizon you know the more it warps my gaze
the foreground's out of focus but you know I kinda hope it's
just a phase, just a phase
just a phase, just a phase
just a phase, just a phase
just a phase
you'll have no idea, you'll have no need to know
i will make your body grow wings and take flight
i will erase sound, i will erase light
the meaning of which I will leave to your discretion
against this slowly deflation
yeah the further the horizon the more it warps my gaze
and the foreground's out of focus but you know i kinda hope it's
just a phase, just a phase
just a phase, just a phase
just a phase, just a phase
just a phase

this song is the uter definition of "grace" to me... i dont know if people will be able to relate or what because it kindof has to do with my experiences but its worth a shot i may as well say that
It should be: "I'll be your exception to whatever the rule" and "I'll sit at your red light, and wait for your shit to go by" and "against this slow leak deflation" and "yeah the further the horizon, the more it holds my gaze and the foreground's out of focus..."
I think this song is about the kind of apathy you get when you are sick of everything. I think when Ani says "I'll be your biggest fan or your fool" etc, she is basically saying 'whatever'. Same thing when she describes "the vague little smile that is her all purpose expression; the meaning of which she will leave to your discretion"; I think it means: 'whatever' and 'my expression means whatever you want it to mean'.
She sounds like she feels bored and trapped and tied down by some aspect(s) of her life when she says: "the further the horizon the more it holds my gaze". It is as if she is expecting to be tied down by her current situation and she has lost a sense of control and has become numb about it all. She hopes it is just a phase.
