about

"Sometimes our inner conversation reads like a bad made-for-tv drama and inflates our daily struggles to almost comically absurd proportions. This is what Anticipation is about... for me at least" Étienne

« Don’t expect anything from anyone, and especially resolving things you had to resolve on your own. Anticipation is about the false confidence you can have that things are gonna get better because you can magically count on someone to clean up your head » - Julien

lyrics

Say you're acting wisely
Say you're faking proudly
There might never be another chance to ruin it all

Overlooking friction
Trading truth for fiction
You could never get a decent role for what it's worth

Make me feel like someone,
I've never been before
Use me, waste me to the bone
As long as I am yours
Come around and save me,
From my drifting mind
Life is a game I was losing anyway

Tender age of treason,
Cut you off for a reason
Dancing on the edge until the final curtain

No time for intermission
Keys in the ignition
I bought a first row seat to witness our own self-destruction

Make me feel like someone,
I've never been before
Use me, waste me to the bone
As long as I am yours
Come around and save me,
From my drifting mind
Life is a game I was losing anyway

Make me feel like someone,
I've never been before
Use me, waste me to the bone
As long as I am yours
Come around and save me,
From my drifting mind
Life is a game I was losing anyway
Losing anyway
Losing anyway
