An eccentic but modern take on alot of old rock and punk ethics fused into a machine that screams war and love at the same time.
Rid Of Me We’re not selfish, or at least we’re not trying to be .We are the embodiment of awful Or maybe we’re not, you decide We won’t slaughter your family for not enjoying us we love music and you love music we’re all musical lovers and we can rush straight to the intercourse or enjoy the entrée before hand .Opinion’s opinion and we could fantasize about the various stories that connect together the little pieces of this puzzle, But that’d be semantics and we really don’t care for pissy things .We are what we are and no amount of regurgitation of old stories and stereotypes can amount to it .We are the selfless generation, the art generation The generation that picks up the pieces. And aren’t we fucking amused? Rid of Me Gunning people down since 2005.

Story behind the song
The song is basically about our generation. Line by line analysis: Wisdom screams out of your teeth: This is a nod to most modern music that is really heavy and screaming that most of our generation seem to connect with. Oh the stench of bone cracking under speech: This is a stab at politics, they crush our generations voice so they can control what goes in, what goes out. We both can talk about the hours insecure: There seems to be a lot of insecurity in our generation so that’s about that. A crow’s nail of porcelain possession: A description of a Goth, Crow’s nail symbolises all the spikes etc that lives in their culture. Porcelain possession= Porcelain-Dolls face-White, possession because society dictates them as possessed yet they might be the only voices that are right! And wisdom screams out for a new dawn: our generation is wise so we KNOW what we want for our generation not what some suit tells us we SHOULD have. Missing out the eyes so that we could see: Most people seem blind to it and it’s easier to listen to propaganda so like the Samaritan leading the blind. The Samaritan being religion/Government and us being the blind. The glitter ball Spins slowly sapphire=My description of a sun which goes back to the new dawn, The world as it exists is an ulcer but we can cure it and it will spin a gain and it will shine brighter than the stars. And to swim with ulcers is like having you in my heart= we’re taking a ride in a sick, Vile world yet we don’t see it because it’s imprinted on our hearts and minds. This songs about waking up to a reality, It puts the singer in a preacher position but It doesn’t, It’s a mock preach. It’s turning the singer into a parliamentary figure so that he can abuse what he has, a voice through music, and a voice through people. It’s played like a puppet. That’s why I chose the music; the music is really heavy and the screaming ads to the effect/ is a nod to the hardcore music that exists. The solo I chose because it reminds me of pill head culture that seems to be reigning supreme so that’s why that’s there in its weird form. I know It’s complicated but I wanted to embed it with so much that no-one will understand it straight away so they’d have to wake up and read deeper. It’s what I want my music to be.
