Losing It All

Elliot gets a craving on his latest single ‘Am I In Love Or Just Hungry’

We all love pizza, but there is a strong chance that you don’t love it as much as Elliot. For the last few years, the Stockholm-based frontman has been penning wistful singles around his love for fast food, and now returns with his latest gorgeable release ‘Am I In Love Or Just Hungry’, due out on the 9th November via Icons Creating Evil Art.

Inspired by the experimental LA pop scene, which includes figures like Ariel Pink and John Maus, Elliot’s latest offering blends haunting synths with an ethereal vocal presence, all wrapped up in a common feeling of misplaced emotions and sombre contemplation. As a strong lover of all things edible, the frontman plays wildly with the unassured ideas of what true devotion means to all of us, taking that strong surge in our gut and reimagining it as a hunger for something more.

Speaking about his latest release, the frontman explained, “I wrote this song a year ago, having broken things off with someone I was seeing. It is an embarrassing receipt of my past commitment issues. Maybe it is hard to discern anything else but detached irony from many of the tracks on my album. In retrospect, the ’fast food’ subject matter was a guarded metaphor for toxic aspects of my personality, my vices and generally it’s some self-loathing stuff. It’s tough to deal with these subjects upfront when your head is swarming with self-harming thoughts and anxieties, so it was a necessary story telling device for me.

“That being said, making songs about burger grease is a great exercise in distancing oneself from the rest of the local scene, where life-altering subjects like depression and love are ’brought to you by Adidas’.

“Nowadays, it’s not an open-ended question anymore. I’m well fed, just a tint overweight, and in love. I listen to this song with the person I wrote it to, who I am now back together with. She plays many roles on this album to which I’m the antagonist - and is likely the reason why I wrote it in the first place.”

Lyrics:

We’re ants on a rock
Spinning in space
I’ve got your head in a lock
And a smile on my face
I was reaching for anything
But everything’s just out of reach

You’re failing me now
By just staying still
You’re a duck made to sit
And I’m a tiger made to kill
They told us it was love
But I’m pretty sure it’s me tearing us apart

Close your eyes
Do as you please
Do as you please

Last night I dreamed
That I had a hive,
The the pollen was thick
The blossom alive
But I took too much
Because honey is sweet,
And you all know
That a girl’s gotta eat,

Well I’m tired and I’m sick
And I’m sick and I’m tired
Of working a job 
where I wanna be fired
And I blame everyone
For not adoring me
But how could they try,
When I killed the bees?

Close your eyes
Do as you please
I made you cry
when I Killed the bees
Everything must die
So do as you please
I made you cry when I Killed the bees

I'll dress up for you
Cut and dye my hair
Dance to a melody
Lay myself bare
You'll listen to anything
With a 4/4 beat
Cos music is now
Just something to eat

I know that I'm bitter
Go tell me I'm wrong
There's no love or money
Left for these songs
But who wants to be liked
When you could be heard?
By killing the bees
We all killed the birds
If you kill the poet
Then you kill the words

Lyrics
I’m tired of people
I live on middle ground
Hands over ears
Eyes down

Here on the blind side
Amid the panic
We’re being led by
Force of habit
Behind the back light
Under the static
We shy away like
Frightened rabbits

I’m barely here
A face amongst the crowd
Violent appeals
Washed up, drowned out

Here on the blind side
Amid the panic
We’re being led by
Force of habit
Behind the back light
Under the static
We shy away like
Frightened rabbits

Why live in fear?
Why move against the grain?
I try to speak but
You didn’t know my name

Here on the blind side
Amid the panic
We’re being led by
Force of habit
Behind the back light
Under the static
We shy away like
Frightened rabbits

Under the Static
