S2E22 Bonus - Level Out

This week we cover a little bit of chemistry. Paint chemistry. 

Stay with us on this one. Nail adornment is a practice that stretches back thousands of years, but there was one technical innovation that came out of World War I that changed the status, colours, and cost of nail beautification. Explosives. Nitrocellulose. 

Tune in tomorrow when we discuss the history and chemistry of nail polish. 

Lyrics below:

[Verse 1]
Slow it down
Colour runs
Leave it now
Leave it once
A line bends out
Into light
The wet says wait
 
[Pre-Chorus]
I want to move
I want to know
The wet says wait
So I let go
 
[Chorus]
Level out
Just level out
Every mark I make
Goes soft somehow
Level out
Just level out
Leave it still
And watch it glow
 
[Verse 2]
Quiet room
Nothing said
Colour settles
On its own
Someone knew
Long before
The wet says wait
And so I wait
 
[Bridge]
I rush
I pull
I break
I know
Hold me here
Hold me slow
Maybe I
Could learn to glow
 
[Final Chorus]
Level out
Just level out
Every mark I make
Goes soft somehow
Level out
Just level out
Leave me still
And watch me glow
 
[Outro]
The wet says wait
The wet says wait
Level out...

I wanna move. I wanna know the wet says away. So I let go level out, just level out. Every mark I make goes off somehow. Level out just level out, leave it still in white glow. Quiet room, nothing said. Long before the wet says away, and so I wake I rush, I pull, I break, I know, hold me here, hold me slow, baby, just level up. Somehow leave me still watch me glow.
