Bulletproof

"Monster" is a haunting, introspective rock song that delves into the complex dynamics of blame, projection, and self-discovery in relationships. With its raw, emotive vocals, intense guitar riffs, and powerful lyrics, the song explores the experience of being cast as the villain in someone else's story, and the journey to break free from that imposed narrative.
The song's protagonist finds themselves labeled as a "monster" by someone who is grappling with their own inner demons and unresolved pain. The accuser projects their own faults and fears onto the protagonist, using them as a scapegoat to avoid facing their own issues.
Through vivid, poetic language, the song captures the psychological toll of this projection, the erosion of one's sense of self under the weight of another's blame. Lines like "Your words are like poison, seeping through my veins" and "I'm the monster you need me to be, to validate your misery" paint a stark picture of the emotional manipulation at play.
But as the song progresses, it becomes a powerful declaration of self-reclamation and boundary-setting. The protagonist recognizes the distortions in the accuser's narrative and resolves to break free from the role of the "monster." The bridge and outro are a triumphant assertion of autonomy and self-definition, a refusal to be confined by another's shadows.
Musically, "Monster" is a tour de force of emotive rock. The haunting guitar riffs and intense instrumental sections mirror the psychological intensity of the lyrics, creating a soundscape that is both intimate and expansive. The vocal delivery is raw and authentic, conveying the depth of the protagonist's pain and the strength of their resolve.
Ultimately, "Monster" is a song about the power of self-knowledge and self-assertion in the face of psychological manipulation and projection. It's a call to look beyond the labels and narratives imposed on us by others, and to define ourselves on our own terms. With its unflinching honesty and emotional depth, it's a song that is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever struggled to find their own voice and identity in the face of another's expectations or accusations.

'Erase (Aubade)' Alternate Version

"Like most of our songs, ‘Erase (Aubade)’ went through lots of different incarnations before the one that we chose to place on ‘Fall Forever’. This is one of its earlier iterations, with lyrics that ended up almost completely changed on the final version. In this version it's much more of a classic pop song, so we thought it would be fun to release and share a more euphoric side of our inherent miserabilism."
