about

Inspired by seeing The Mysterines playing so loud I had tinnitus for days after and seeing a crowd hang on every tiny almost imperceptable movement of frontperson Lia, I wrote this, positing her as a God or Imperatrix sending a Siren call out that makes all humans who hear it destroy themselves in a Pit.
Also contains a PJ Harvey reference, for obvious reasons.

lyrics

She's The Medusa
All powerful seducer
She's a God among the insects and she'll step on every one
And we'll say thank you
Just to look at you
Is an honour that makes us worthy of being crushed under her thumb

She'll cut your nails down to the quick
She'll have all your hair off before you even start to notice

She's Monumental
Divine and Transcendental
A Siren who will bring your ship to ground
Wrecked among the rocks
She is Entropy
The Electrochemistry of her song is a call to prayer
As if the moshpit is our Mosque

She'll cut your nails down to the quick
And you know this, and you know this
She'll have all your hair off before you even start to notice

Bow Down
On Your Knees
Crawl Around
At Her Feet
Show Fealty To Your 50 Ft Queenie
Sacrifice Your Ears
