Return Policy

Binary Emotions · 4:10 · Electronic

This track is part of the catalogue. Its video will be added after publication on the label’s channel.

WITHIN THE ALBUM

Feelings that refuse the instructions.

Binary Emotions imagines an inner life described in the language of everyday technology and commerce. Weather Report for My Heart, Assembly Instructions, and Return Policy become labels for a world where we sometimes wish we knew how a feeling works.

Lise, the label’s virtual character, explores the gap between these instruction manuals and what escapes them. Muscle Memory, Midnight Math, and Constellation Prize suggest other ways of counting, remembering, and staying close. This chapter prepares the ground for the traces and absences of Phantom Signals.

Weather Report for My Heart opens the album. Continue in order to explore the fourteen objects of this imaginary diary.

Original lyrics

Text supplied in the project files. The original language is preserved.

Bought this dress for our first date
Tags still on, receipt in hand
Never wore it past your doorway
When you said you had other plans
Thirty days to bring it back
But I've been holding onto hope
That maybe if I keep it hanging
You'll come back and help me cope

Store credit for a broken heart
Can't exchange what fell apart
Some things don't come with guarantees
Even when you keep receipts

What's the return policy on love?
Can I get my money back?
What's the return policy on love?
I've got everything I lack
Original packaging of my heart
Barely used, still in good condition
What's the return policy on love?
I want a full refund on this mission

Bought your favorite cologne
So I could smell you when you're gone
Expensive bottle, still half full
Of memories I can't move on
Gift receipt says "final sale"
But this wasn't worth the price
Customer service for my feelings
Won't pick up, no matter how I try twice

No warranty on promises made
No insurance when love fades
Learned to read the fine print now
But it's too late anyhow

What's the return policy on love?
Can I get my money back?
What's the return policy on love?
I've got everything I lack
Original packaging of my heart
Barely used, still in good condition
What's the return policy on love?
I want a full refund on this mission

Manager says "I understand
But feelings aren't returnable
You can't take back the way you felt
Those emotions aren't refundable"
But I've got the receipt right here
From the day I fell for you
If love's a transaction, then I want
To cancel and start anew

No return policy on love
But I'm keeping what I learned
No return policy on love
Some lessons can't be returned
Better packaging for my heart
Next time I'll read the conditions
No return policy on love
But I'm done with these submissions
Yeah, I'm done with these submissions
