Teeth
Jump to...
With their album, A Guide For Apparitions, now available, we get our teeth into this new track to see what kind of thing we’re in for.
The album is filled with mystical themes, like witchcraft, necromancy, and other mystical and pagan themes. The songs are energetic driven rock songs, but they also draw on other genres… to wit we arrive at ‘Teeth’, which starts with a wiry intro that conjures a horror scene. With some added beat we get a twisted nursery rhyme that pops up again later as a pre-chorus.
The first verse pumps along, then develops a beat that contrasts with the lyrical rhythm. With just a brief pause for a repeat of the intro line, we get a pounding rock chorus.
This song nails the crossover, conjuring flickers of Poppy and Sophie Powers alongside their highly recognizable flavour of rock.
The long player is out now!
Listen to Air Drawn Dagger – ‘Teeth’.
Teeth Lyrics
Take your skin off let them see
We have nothing underneath
Take your skin off let them see
We look so good wouldn’t you agreeTake a deep breath get a level head
There’s a lot of wrongs to right
Acid veins are kicking in
Might as well set fire to my bed
There’ll be no sleep tonight
Being the heroes wearing thinI could play the traitor, I could do it well
When I give you my word you can unleash hell
Thanks for asking but I’ve not been doing well
If it wasn’t for the hollow cheeks you would never tellTake your skin off let them see
We have nothing underneathPull your teeth out one by one
So you know what it’s like to be alive
The poisons tasting bittersweet
There’s a softness to the knife
If everything is going wrong
Then I don’t wanna be right
Where we go we’re turning heads
And yours may roll tonightI swear to god
Sick of hearing ’bout the malady
State of the world
Looking pretty good to meGlint of moonlight on the machetes
No turning back we scream to Stataris
Line our finger nails with poison berries
Thoughts of the past begins the frenzyTake your skin off let em see
Find your freedom in a tragedyPull your teeth out one by one
So you know what it’s like to be alive
The poisons tasting bittersweet
There’s a softness to the knife
Everything is going wrong
And I don’t wanna be right
Where we go we’re turning heads
And yours may roll tonightPull your teeth out one by one
So you know what it’s like to be alive
The poisons looking empty
There’s blood all on the knife
Everything has gone wrong
I’m not feeling alright
Where we go we’re turning heads
And it’s your turn tonight
