Lyrics
she liked being in control
the situation was beyond that now

she wanted one last thrill
her heart couldn't handle it

her religion was herion
she bore the stigmata on her wrists

she inhaled the calming fumes
from a glasstube of regret

lost in a fog
trying to find a way out
lost in a fog
wanting to scream and shout
lost in a fog
she screams no more
lost in a fog
fate has shut the door

she was pale and skin and bones
sunken cheeks and bad skin

her life was a prison
without hope for escape

she built the walls
the bars were made of needles

lost in a fog
trying to find a way out
lost in a fog
wanting to scream and shout
lost in a fog
she screams no more
lost in a fog
fate has shut the door

She played with them
never giving it away

she didn't love herself
that was what they were for

her body was tired and broken
she laid down in the alley

she felt so tired
then she let go...

Enjoyed it.
I think the overly abrasive distortion sets the tone nicely. The words are pointed and the whole thing just has a great "raw" quality to it. I like the accompanying higher vocal a lot. I would suggest polishing this up, but I think it may lose some of it's charm. Has an early college indie feeling to it.

(And, not to find something funny in a serious subject, but your typo in the description had me rolling in the floor. The possibilities for "the downward spiral of addition" are endless.)

Thanks, I fixed the typo. LOL!

You got what I was going for here. Anger, rage, abrasiveness, fear, confusion. Just raw and ugly, the story of a life destroyed.

kind of built around the movie "Requium for a Dream"

I feel it
The music is great. Loved it. It fits.

The only trouble I have is with a couple lines in the lyrics.
They took away from the song (my opinion).

Specifically "her religion was herion" and "she didn't love
herself".

You have beautiful imagery going on with "lost in a fog",
"she bore the stigmata on her wrists", and "then she let
go".

With imagery like that, having being 'told' that she didn't
love herself or that she was addicted to herion seems...
forced...

Other than that little nitpick, I really liked the piece.

Thanks!

I agree that some of the lyrics are a little obvious, although you sometimes have to be in order to illustrate a feeling. Thank you though for the honest opinion, I appreciate that you took the time to read them and comment.

Good Song
Lyrics were fine. Good drumming and the distortion does
fit with the lyrics although it was a bit daunting at first. I
really like when you stop and have the little harmony
singing.

Good Song
Thanks!

I kind of wanted it to be shocking and ugly and distorted to illustrate the feel of the subject.

I enjoy experimenting with different kinds of music and sounds. I've played drums or guitar or bass in bands that ranged from Jazz to Punk to Soul to Rock and Blues. I don't like to do covers, so everything I do is written by me. My musical tastes ar... [see more]
