Glue by Vendetta Love

This song came from a little chord progression and riff I had written a few years ago that I had always wanted to do more with, eventually expanding into the mix of sections that form the cohesive mess that it is.

Lyrically it touches on a couple different themes like mental health/addiction and also some dreams/nightmares I’ve had that stuck in my mind.

Both Chris and Shawn have added so much to the character of the song, weaving melodies and attitude in such wonderful ways. Darren plays a blinder on the drums and really pulls the whole song together. We recorded it in Trackmix Studio in Dublin, which is always a pleasure. Working with Michael there is always so comfortable and efficient.

Singing lead vocals is a first for me and was honestly nerve-wracking but I couldn’t be happier with how the song turned out, and for anyone missing Shawn’s lovely voice he does make an appearance on vocals so all is not lost. Anyway, Glue, get it in your ears.”

Lyrics

GLUE

The leper wrings his rotting limbs around my neck,
Tells me to bleed, wants me to win, can't keep my feet intact,
I'll stay to play, I'll bet on red, take all my seeds they're cracked,
Reprobate swings his fuckin' love

Socrates comes down and swims around in glue,
He rests his head against the wall, still drunk, he dreams of you,
Body up and left him, take what's granted, take mine too,
The Monk will show me what is wrong

I hope I'll never know you now,
Oh won't you please just put me down?
Make me feel alright

Hey, tell me something' real,
Take your time now, tell me something'

I've been tryin', can't help myself,
I've been drinkin', can't stand being well (I don't want to)
I don't want to ruin a life that should be dead

Alright come on out
Don't be shy
You're not ready
