Lyrics

I've been breaking out in cold sweats
Wondering the best way to get
My point across without
Seeming aggressive
Avoid your defenses

There a burnin’ deep within in my chest
The pretty pattern covering my breast
Hides a fuck ton of rage a fuck ton of pages written without my consent

There’s a virus-ridden mr ex
Sloppy seconds west-coast sex
And you say it’s normal, not to worry sweetheart, I think that you're just overreacting

I consulted the pages of google
And I think that he knows more than you do
And what about my innate, burned at the stake forgotten ancient wisdom of women

I consulted the pages of google
And I think that he knows more than you do
And what about my innate, burned at the stake forgotten ancient wisdom of women

I consulted the pages of google
And I think that he knows more than you do
And what about my innate, burned at the stake forgotten ancient wisdom of women

So I chuck on a smile, grit my teeth til I taste blood underneath
My pretty pink gum line is diseased
With a nasty monthly bleed
Open up wide let's check you out put up the probe see what's inside

This body feels disrespected
I’m completely disconnected

Slack maw, lock jaw, open, gaping wide
I’m punch drunk, slapped up, happy cunt thank god it’s no mine
I’ve clamped up, tight shut, there no way that you’re wading through that

It's too much to let you do that
It's too much to let you do that

Slack maw, lock jaw, open, gaping wide
I’m punch drunk, slapped up, happy cunt thank god it’s no mine
I’ve clamped up, tight shut, there no way that you’re wading through that

It's too much to let you do that
It's too much to let you do that

You say it’s normal
I’m just hormonal
Need get over it do I?
I'll just get over it
I'll just get over it

MMMh, that's mood driven, brilliance Sparkle!

@helenseviltwinMod 1w

Too many fantastic lines to pick any out. It'd be like when you're a teenager and trying to highlight the important parts in a book about something that you are just obsessed with - highlighter everywhere. Lyrically, funny and insightful. Musically, catchy as fuck and the vocal rhythm is really cool. Bloody brilliant!

@sapient 1w

Oh fuck yes.
This is awesome.
I'm goin back round for another listen!

@robertfrederickmusic 1w

So powerful. Wholly shit! Good thing I had the lyrics in front of me, because my mind would not have figured out the lyrics due to the production. Love it.

@adforperu 1w

That triplet cadence is very cool, and your lyrics fit like a glove. Once again, so many cool ideas in here, so many great backing vocals. You've tackled the subject matter head on in a way that reminds me of Fiona Apple or someone, huge respect for that

@nuj4x 2w

I absolutely loved every single thing about this. Your accent, your delivery, your passion and how absolutely relentless it was. Simple electronic instrumental and the unstoppable force that is Rosie Bans. This reminds me of “I’m Just Me” by Diamond Rings. Your lyrics were intense, so clever, and gosh I just love it so much.

@eamarant 2w

F’ing loved it. A consistent vibe the whole way through. Angry and anxious, that’s how I feel while and after listening to it. Loved the cadence of a lot of it. “I think he knows more than you do.” So good. Is there space to put in a bridge that deviates from the driving bass, spoken word, and main melody? Give it a change up two thirds of the way through then punch us in the face again to end it? Great work!

@ayeahmur 2w

Rosie. This is Righteous! Love that growling driving bass. Lyrics hit every bit as hard as the ought to. And the i invention going into every single line compels you to listen all the way to the end. What an absolute belter.

@nadine 2w

It's been some time I listened to that kind of sound. Really like the triplet rhythm and that dirty bass. Lyrically you adress an important topic. It's só unfair when people say your problems are temporary. There are also not enough studies of how meds work for women. Its a shame.

@hornesgiftshop 2w

I feel as if I've been physically collared by a woman who's had enough. Really unsettling, as it's supposed to be. Really well constructed, with deadly serious intent but a light touch musically. If you take it further after FAWM, it could be a bit longer - some kind of break with another beat, sound effects maybe? Fine as it is though. Look forward to hearing more.

@lmnomusic 2w

i like this. so original. so creative. so in-your-face. well produced. excellent!

@coolparadisoMod 2w

Wow . That jumps out slaps you rather than just flows out! And keeps slapping!

@ccsfrogpond 2w

Haunting and fantastic word flow and word choice on this BANGER. The rhythm of this song is so intense and such an ear worm. Spooky and haunting but so catchy, a great genre to approach a topic the deserves the spotlight. This is another huge win for you. 🐸

@eas3637 2w

There is a fabulous flow to your lyrics, which are so smart and tight and dark - and right.

@siasa 2w

Fantastic. Hope you release it - it should be a hit. And I love that it's in your accent, obviously!

@aeye 2w

the rising chorus is SO GOOD. Love the driving beat. This could work REALLY well as a drum and bass track I bet. The track has such fantastic driving momentum. Just keeps on moving forward the whole time. (Also a really important issue to talk about in song) This is awesome.

@billwhite51 2w

i love all the variations of phrasing and rhythm that keep your rap charging about in unpredictable ways. the words alone are well worth reading but the way you spread them around with music makes them extra strong because more people will hear what you are saying. id like to sneak this into the hospitals elevator music.

@bigmood 2w

"Sloppy seconds west coast sweat" is an incredible line, but this whole thing GOES. Love the momentum in your vocal delivery, the way you balance repetition w twisting the melodic rhythm works so well. Not a single line that doesn't hit here. Also looove the lil bits of harmony that pop in the middle, and the ending build. Fucking banger
