about

Cut Me Deeper (and Destroy Me) is about coping with pain and rebirth. You know when a tree is burnt from the inside, you can’t just wait and hope for it to grow again. You have to finish it up. Now imagine this tree, it's you. As much as it’s full of anger, disappointment, and pain, this song is about looking for a way to grow back and heal.
It all started with the destruction of a wall. My brother had to go film a wall being demolished, so I asked him to record as many sounds as he could on the site. I’ve always been fascinated by the textures of sounds. All these machines and this industrial atmosphere of destruction inspired me so much, I had to make something with it.
And here it is.

lyrics

Lyrics:

I tried to make you rise
From the ashes of my soul
But I should have seen in your eyes
You’re already dead and low

You’re the disease and the medicine
You’re the bullet and the gun
Some damages can’t be fixed
Now, you must destroy.

CHORUS:
Once for all
And once for real
Cut me deeper
Than I’ve ever been.

I tried to make you rise
From the ashes of my soul
But I should have seen in your eyes
You’re already dead and low

I am just a pile of dead leaves
That with every word you say Gather to eventually
Set me on fire
Cut me deeper than I’ve ever been

CHORUS

Now that you’ve hurt me enough
That I can’t be fixed
Finished what you’ve started
And destroy me

CHORUS

From the ashes of my soul

And destroy me.
