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...
