about

BOY is HEAVY AF and my favourite tune off the EP. Inspired by the new alt sound I wanted to push people into the ground on the drops and it backed up my depressive state of mind over the last 6 months. I love punk rock and heavy bass lines so this is the blend of a new sound. Again a bit rough in places, almost like it’s live but with super polished distortion and massive production, I love that about this tune.

Lyrically it’s a lot deeper and more heady than it may come across. Each line kind of contradicts the previous, much like the duality of the Universe. “Loving you makes me so uncomfortable” sounds like I am talking about a human but I’m actually talking about the terror of seeing the void, the nothingness, the meaninglessness of everything. This idea is done to death in philosophy and I do wish I let the sleeping dog lay, but they tell me that I’ll work it out.

lyrics

In the void everything is possible
Loving you makes me so uncomfortable
In the void everything is possible
Loving you makes me so uncomfortable

WOO

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Can’t sleep
Nervous from the alcohol
Deep breaths
Forget all that I said before
Death day, this can’t ignore
They tell you you’ll work it out

Work it out
Work it out
Work it out
Work it out

WOO

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Can’t sleep
Nervous from the alcohol
Deep breaths
Forget all that I said before
Death day
Jumping from the second
Deep breaths
Forget all that I said before

In the void everything is possible
Loving you makes me so uncomfortable
In the void everything is possible
Loving you makes me so uncomfortable

WOO
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Smash it up boy
What ya lookin’ for?
This world is always gonna hurt
Fuck it up boy
This you can’t avoid
They tell you that you’ll work it out

They tell you that you’ll work it out
Work it out
They tell you that you’ll work it out
Work it out
They tell you that you’ll work it out
Work it out
They tell you that you’ll work


WOO

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

In the void everything is possible
Loving you makes me so uncomfortable
In the void everything is possible
Loving you makes me so uncomfortable
