Behind Crimson Eyes - DEAD.DROP.DEAD (Visualizer)

Behind Crimson Eyes proudly announces the release of their first single in 7 years: “DEAD.DROP.DEAD” - A dark and heavy blend of metalcore and melodic post-hardcore that is reminiscent of their debut album “A Revelation For Despair,” but with a modern twist.

The song is a raw and intense exploration of the daily battles many of us face with our mental health; particularly anxiety, depression and the resulting self-destructive behaviour that typically follows.

Lyrics like “Good god, I'm my own worst enemy. My best friend is my own bitter misery” highlight that although we can be aware of the dire situation we are in, we can often feel powerless to stop it, and at times embrace the pain as inevitable.

The song paints a vivid picture of the darkness that can envelop us, the sense of bleeding out emotionally, and the spinning chaos that can result. Yet, despite the heavy subject matter, the outro serves as a powerful declaration of defiance against these destructive impulses, ending with a resolute "No, Fuck that."

Produced and recorded by the talented Ionei Heckenberg of Ocean Sleeper, this song serves as an appetiser for a future EP, marking the final time Behind Crimson Eyes release music.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Dead drop

[Verse 1]
Oh god I'm bleeding out
The taste is in my mouth
The voices in my brain
Are telling me that I'm deranged

Good god I'm my own worst enemy
My best friend is my own bitter misery
I picked the scab of our shared humanity
All I found was a fucking Greek tragedy

[Chorus]
I'm hearing voices in my head
They’re telling me all the things I should have said
Everything they say to me
Feeds my anxiety
I really wish they were dead
drop dead for me

[Verse 2]
Oh god, I'm blacking out
The room is spinning round
The darkness in my veins
Will send me to an early grave

Good god I just had an epiphany
The only hell is the war inside of me
Get the guns, no, get the artillery
I told you once, shakedown, don't fuck with me

[Chorus]
I'm hearing voices in my head
They’re telling me all the things I should have said
Everything they say to me
Feeds my anxiety
I really wish they were dead
drop dead for me

[Bridge]
They're in my head
Voices inside of my head
Voices inside of my

[Chorus]
I'm hearing voices in my head
They’re telling me all the things I should have said
Everything they say to me
Feeds my anxiety
I really wish they were dead
drop dead for me

[Outro]
I'll just drop dead
No, Fuck that.
