Pull Up

Loved Ones

Lose yourself in a melody
A swell of strings with an angelic melancholy
Or a fanfare leaving you emotionally raw
In a way, that music has got you bad.

Centuries passing, same old men gassing
That wood and metal and skin
Just sound better if it's played with a penis
But what you gotta ask is
If that's true, then what am I doing here?

Can you love something when you know it cannot love you back?
Grandiose, leaves a young audience comatose
But the older gen are crying in their rows

Velvet curtains don't just hide the stage
There's issues hidden from your gaze
Down in the pit where they treat you like shit
And musically, it's much of the same

Lose yourself
At your own risk baby
Take a seat
And watch your own life from the stage

You're gonna spend a decade crying in your room
Hating your life and your instrument too
Told everyday that you're bad or a failure
Better be a teacher, that's the only way they're gonna pay you

Yeah you've got your heart set on it
But just make sure that you haven't got tits
'Cos they'll distract or detract or some shit like that
No matter how hard you try you're always gonna fall flat

CHORUS

Passion's a watchword but at the end it's absurd how little it really matters
You wanna be the best you can
You think the orchestral world is so glamorous
But i dare you to just stand back and take a real look

Now i'm not here to offend you
I'm just here to stand up for my gender
Because the days you can beat us down
Or put us in a cage are OVER

---

So I'm standing here on this stage
In front of a thousand dead men
Who knew nothing of my rage
With their music still ringing in my ears
And I'm asking
When will all this fade?

Lose Yourself
