there is no god in your loneliness there is no pain in your forgiveness when the roses bloom in mid-june will they prosper and decay all life? no more death filled with long days no more ego filled with love no drugs to kill you softly no more numbness (drown you slow) you and i, always endlessly playing in a ballet of masochism apple seeds of virginity have begun to lose its taste the truth of apathy is sewn no more blood filled with blind hate no more highs turnin’ slow no flesh to peel back softly no more forgiveness (kill you slow) do you believe in hope? do you believe in hostility? obedient greed tender affection being hopelessly bound no naivety filled with dull days no more broken shards to hold and it feels so high it feels so helpless i was blinded now i’m cold it’s always aching it’s why i love you the joy of your fragile oppressive hope

soul same heart same heart yet nowhere free sewn to be in light please god, tell me no more lies live to be or let it bleed live to know or let it go trials of pain, an angel to flame, a reborn dove help me mother, tear up the pieces help me mother, tear up the pieces help me mother, tear up the pieces fuck you, blame me, think you’re right? slow the pills might be a bit too slow as i try to escape this life help me just lose control as i try to make things right feeling the weight of time as i try just one last time help me to break my binds as i try to make things right give me back my life

flowers in the water silhouette spins further drowned in weight again floating down the hillside ghosts will watch myself die coma in my dreams i’ll wait i’ll wait under i’ll wait under all my shadows you thought you'd think you've had enough touched you, bruised you fell apart what’s the feeling of the fear to let go of what you’ve learned? all the blind will just lead you to everything you know somewhere i can be waiting there for me watch the flowers burn somewhere i can be waiting there for me watch the flowers burn somewhere i can be waiting there for me watch the flowers burn slowly burn...

(dead like life) with the glow of people how can i connect to all their warmth? how kind it must feel to understand their skin is realer than yours soliloquy of love, praxis of fear into the flesh, you've sewn up warm systēma love, god nor a doll "how will you love yourself more than all of they will?" “do you trust their words?” i'm alive i'm alive i'm alive i'm alive i'm alive i'm alive i'm alive i'm alive i'm alive i'm a lie (dead like life)

about

“Ressentiment” is the 3rd full length album by Meishi Smile. A projection of the self. The negative reflection. The systematic ego now broken in confrontation and wrath.

The first album by Meishi Smile in 5 years was originally intended to be much lighter. A fully completed album entitled “Limerence” was ready until the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and increased civil unrest.

Thus began a new response to the times - a fully written album in several months including the now formed Meishi Smile band with Fei (Vocals, Production), Sílva (Guitar), Jason (Bass) and Zachary Roy (Drums).

The songs detail the cosmic wrath of God, misanthropic views of humanity, systematic violence, and the transition of gender and self in the refute of the corporeal.

Though “Ressentiment” is the harshest Meishi Smile album yet, it is overall a generational love letter to the anger and hope of youth.
