about this song
"Performative Peoples" is the 13th track on Cities Aviv's 2020 album IMMORTAL FLAME. The track features Aviv’s longtime collaborator Outside Source, also known as RPLDGHSTS. It’s a relatively short piece, built around lush, ambient piano chords, with Outside Source sing-rapping over the instrumental. The lyrics are abstract, but they noticeably touch on themes of trauma or suppressed memories, suggesting the speaker is trying to bury or distance themselves from something painful.
