Liner Notes

CONTENT WARNING: This song uses violent, sexual, horror themes.

Another Fyre special. She loves using revenge fantasy for coping. Vocally... FINALLY! Here we are, near the end of FAWM and we've finally been able to relax and stop letting our voice dysphoria kill us. It doesn't hurt that all of the practice we've had has allowed us to get to this point where it's much easier to hold that voice when singing. We drop out a little, and drift a little as the song goes on, but I like it. We actually had fun with this one.

We went back to the metronome and voice first method. Turned on the metronome. Sang it out in one pass. Then made the music. We were thinking... guitarists fiddle around on their guitars, pianists fool around with their pianos... I've been trying to fit my voice in with whatever I was composing. This time I tried the voice first approach again, and it works so much better for me. I sang the song and then used those notes to figure out the chords and stuff. This makes sense for me because... voice is really where my passion is. The music is just set dressing.

We accidentally sung the same line twice in the first chorus... oops. I'm not going back to fix that.

As usual, I have no idea what genre tags to use. We just like being theatrical. We tend to borrow from punk and nu-metal so we tend to use those tags, but this one doesn't feel quite either. We got the idea for this one from trance songs. Taking a song that's so coded as sexual, and wondered if we could write about a murder but make it sound like some kinky sex, so when you get to the back half and it becomes explicit it retroactively changes the context and meaning of the rest of the song.

I do think I'll edit the bridge a bit. A couple lines feel kind of clunky, but for now... here ya go.

Lyrics

(Verse 1) Can you hear me breathing? Cause I hear your heart beating I thought you might like this feeling I heard you love the screaming I know just what you want But I'll give you what you need Your bedroom is my newest haunt I'm hungry and ready to feed

(Chorus) In and out, scream and shout Oohhh, I love to hear you squeal In and out, scream and shout How does that feel? Dripping sweat, scream and shout There's no stopping now

(Verse 2) This must be a new sensation You seem shocked at my elation I was attracted to your predation And couldn't resist the temptation I know just what you want But I'll give you what you need Your bedroom is my newest haunt Just let go, it's time to concede

(Chorus) In and out, scream and shout Oohhh, it's so long In and out, scream and shout Does this feel wrong? Dripping sweat, scream and shout There's no stopping now

(Verse 3 - Bridge?) It's so cute that you're still fighting Your panic is intoxicating I don' t know why you're protesting Acting like I'm the monster You didn't care what she wanted So cry all you want, bud Your bedroom will be haunted Painted in your blood

(Chorus 2) In and out, scream and shout Oohhh, it's sharpened steel In and out, scream and shout How does that feel? Dripping blood, scream and shout There's no stopping now

(Outro) I can't hear you breathing You'll never give another beating I love this feeling If only I weren't dreaming

These are topics that don't get enough coverage on FAWM, and I understand why. But it is a shame because there is art that can be made here. And you are proof of that. The transitions from rock/metal guitar back to the more sparse, character forward section are very affective. Dark, disturbing and creepy. Well done!
