This is my absolute favourite song I've ever made. But at the same time, I made it during a period when I was very conscious of my terrible structure and this is honestly the epitome of a chorus that is too long.
I love it because it was inspired by Fight Club, which doesn't come through unless you look at the lyrics, I think.
It is a very violent song, under the guise of something you can unselfconsciously slowdance to.
lyrics
Meet me in the pit by the 50 metre pool
Where the buses can't see and the kissers drool
Where lipgloss and fingernails saturate the ground
Meet me when you can't see the sky for ash
When you're sick and you're tired and you're ready to crash
When you need somebody else but there's no one around
Hit me I wanna leave with bruises
I wanna see that the blood I lose is
Red, knuckles raw, knees scraped, face torn
Tyler Durden said he'd let me in
To heaven if I rock up with a grin
And a plan to make sure no one was ever born
(Aah)
Meet me wearing clothes that you don't mind getting trashed
Because ideally by the end of it, we'll both be smashed
Into the floor, or a wall or each other's fists
Meet me when you're lowkey wanting to die
And you're absolutely livid at the way time flies
And you're trying to find a way to escape without being missed
Hit me I wanna leave with bruises
I wanna see that the blood I lose is
Red, knuckles raw, knees scraped, face torn
Tyler Durden said he'd let me in
To heaven if I rock up with a grin
And a plan to make sure no one was ever born
(Aah)
I should have named myself Marla
Because I am my own favourite tumour
