"this is to all of you out there, standing with your judging stare"|Drop Dead| |The Urge To Pull The Trigger On The Existence Of Life|Released: 15/01/12 Genre: Post-hardcore, electronic, emo Label: Self-released Writer: Alex Ward Producer: Shay McCarthy, Alex Ward What Alex Says"I wrote this song basically about my life off the past 2-3 years, which has had many ups and downs but this mainly focuses on the latter. Its about being in a seriously dark place in my life, where I just wanted to pack my bags and visit the grave. One thing was on my mind, death. I was in a relationship comprised of only sex, I was popping pills back like sweets and just generally living a reckless life. I know some might say, I still am.. and well, I agree. Its a pretty honest reflection of how people thought they controlled me, I always looked like the bad guy no matter what. The thing is too, when you feel this way, you don't feel like there is anyone who can help, you just soldier on and well.. hope. Its like kinda electronic and ill admit, i used a voice encoder to give off certain effects. Its a largely synth based hardcore song, not unlike music I made with Chasing The Sun but a little heavier. I also got my good friend Lily Williams to contribute on the vocals. It's probably the heaviest song on the EP.The MusicThe song opens with a keyboard lightly playing in the background before Alex's vocals come in quickly. As he sings the opening verse, the keys remain quiet and haunting before a synth based instrumental plays as the verse is finished. This goes on for around 20 seconds before Alex kicks in with the chorus where the drums and guitars hit the deck. The next verse is then screamed by Alex as he trots his way through to a synth backing and a constant bang from the bass drum. The next chorus comes in strongly and carries its weight through before it all goes silent much like the start of the song to just minor keys playing in the background when a haunting female voice comes over the top of them. After they conclude, the song jumps back into full throttle as Alex screams his way through the verse to a very climatic finish at the chorus, where during the female voice is still present singing in the background. The song plays out the familiar voice again as the synth's start to die off and all goes quiet. The LyricsVerses with clean vocals Verses screamed Chorus with clean vocals Lily Williams- - - - To all of you out there Standing with your judging stare Do you all really think I care? This is a conspiracy, A dig at my obscurityWatch me before I turn to dust, This love was built over lust My hearts even started to rust There was no passion, You all felt no compassionNever let me go, never let me put on a show This is not the life I want to lead, all I want is to be freed Leave out the stampede, I don’t wanna bleed So what I smoked some weed, and maybe did some speed Someone help me here, help me pack up and disappear I never wanted this, and I know I will miss, your gentle kissTo all of you out there I wanna make you all aware Do you all want me to despair? What is your theory? You all want me to be teary Watch me before I turn to dust This love was built over lust My hearts even started to rust There was no passion, You all felt no compassionTime to draw a close, now everyone knows, lets throw in a roseSay what you want, you can try your best to daunt If I take one more step, there is no getting over the misstep Sit there watch me burn, it’s ok if it doesn’t cause much concern So what I drank too much, and had fun of such Am I singing here alone, thinking in to the unknown Time to draw a close, now everyone knows, lets throw in a roseWatch me before I turn to dust This love was built over lust There was no passion, You all felt no compassionTime to draw a close, now everyone knows, lets throw in a roseWatch me before I turn to dust This love was built over lust There was no passion, You all felt no compassionTime to draw a close, now everyone knows, lets throw in a rose- - - - - - - - - - Sounds Like
