Today, though, we get a new Dacus original called “Thumbs,” which is a crushing slow-burner about the bullshit blood link between horrible family members and the safety net great friendship offers. On “Thumbs,” Lucy narrates the time a friend’s dad came to visit their college. Dacus’ voice is close and serious as glowing synths emanate in the background. Although we don’t have the full context of these relationships, Dacus captures the severity of her friend’s meeting and the closeness of this college friendship, with the immediate change of energy after an answered phone call in the opening line: “You hung up the phone / And I asked you what was wrong.” After, Dacus assures her friend there’s no requirement to see her estranged father; when her friend feels unable to turn him down, Dacus tags along for support. “He hadn’t seen you since the fifth grade / Now you’re nineteen and you’re 5’8”,” she sings. Now they’re at a bar and this asshole is asking about checks in birthday cards. “I would kill if you let me / I would kill quick and easy,” she sings chillingly. Later she admires her friend’s eyes, like her father’s, and fantasizes thoughtful violence: “I imagine my thumbs on the irises pressing in / Until they burst.” It’s an unsettling act of kindness, wanting to eradicate any source of pain for a loved one. Although Dacus is only sharing “Thumbs” officially with the world now, the track has been a part of her setlist for a few years. “I started playing it live a month or so later during the boygenius tour after Phoebe and Julien encouraged me to. I knew I wanted a long time to get used to playing it since it made me feel shaky, so I ended sets with it for about half the shows I played in 2019,” she said in a statement. “Before I played it, I would ask the audience to please not record it, a request that seems to have been respected, which I’m grateful for.” Fans kept their word, but created a Twitter account awaiting the day the track would be released. Their last tweet: “Yes!!!!!! Streaming everywhere right now!!!”

在幽蓝氛围里,她记叙陪同好友和其生父会面的经过,温柔地表达为了保护自己所爱的人而去执行一场谋杀的幻想和冲动。哀愁与心痛飘渺在氛围中也无法被稀释,联想到她自己的身世,这首真的是她的又一首佳作
