about

This was one of my favorite songs off my last album but it never got to the level that I had hoped it would. I had planned or hoped to release it as a single. When we were recording, Rayssa came in the studio to add harmonies on “End of an Era” but then she banged this out so quickly, professionally, and she sounded amazing! Later, Bradley and I recorded my vocals at The Room on Melrose and I had him sing some of the backup parts too. I tried to add a little more beat and structure to it in this new single mix, so hopefully I can continue to work this song.

lyrics

Meat… hooks…
Meathooks

I knew that you wanted to scare me
I knew cause that’s what they told me
I had a laugh instead
Can’t believe the things I said
I thought you were so below me

I liked how you thought you could dare me
Thought you could play on my pride
Then you got inside me head
Left me shaking in my bed
You broke me down from the inside

I feel the meat hooks ripping through my skin
now I’m hanging on a wire and we’re moving in
I feel the temperature fallin down
and now I’m just another carcass with no face for a frown
I feel the meat hooks tearing me apart
I’ve got mindless self destruction down to an art
I feel the temperature going down
and now I’m just another carcass with no face for a frown

It’s like how he said don’t mess around with Jim
They told me don’t mess with Texas
You snared me in your trap
Crackle pop until I snap
You eat guys like me for breakfast

I feel the meat hooks ripping through my skin
now I’m hanging on a wire and we’re moving in
I feel the temperature going down
and now I’m just another carcass with no face for a frown
I feel the meat hooks and they’re taking hold
Always there reminding me I’m not in control
I feel the temperature falling down
and now I’m just another carcass with no face for a frown
I feel the meathooks tearing me apart
I’m feeling masochistic so let the evisceration start
I feel the temperature falling down
and now I’m just another carcass with no face for a frown

Meathooks, meathooks, ma ma ma ma ma meat hooks
Ma ma ma ma ma ma meathooks

Devin Tait Sacramento, California

Having transplanted himself from Kansas to California around the turn of the millennium, Devin Tait quickly found himself derailed from his original plan to join a boyband. Meeting a couple of guitar playing lesbians at karaoke led Tait to form the band Shitting Glitter with Amy Crosby and Von Edwards. After nearly a decade with the band, Tait decided it was time to branch out on his own. ... more
