 Song 134

Hello my fellow music lovers, welcome back to the blog! We have a new release from a band that I love so of course I'm going to review it. The song I have for you today is Skinny Lies by The Funeral Portrait. I actually really liked when I first listened to it, and I hope you will too. The intro is very cool, it has this really great deep scratchy sound to it. I saw the genre theatrical rock, and I feel like that is the best way to describe this band's sound. The first verse: "You're chasing shadows in the sky, with all the vampires. Biting into all the stars still left alive. Lips of velvet but your tongue is like a chainsaw. What is left to say, that I haven't said?" Love the song writing on this. The chorus: "If I'm not what you need, then I don't wanna know. But the words in your mouth cut right to the bone, I wanna go back to what it was before. Just you and I, and skinny lies." I think skinny lies, means very thin on the surface lies. Like the person knew they were lying the whole time. The chorus is also very catchy, very good to song along with. The second verse: "Do you really wanna get what you wish for? Did you forget that we're all human after all, don't look at me and lick your teeth like I'm your savior. Baby, just bite down." There is an idea that we get as humans, where we think we need to save people. But not everyone wants to be saved, or needs saving. Although I will say, I was saved from myself by someone very special to me. So sometimes it does work, but everyone is different. Just don't let that thought of saving someone, get in the way of everything else. The bridge: "It's like you never knew me, or maybe I don't know myself. And when you look right through me, all you'll find are skinny lies. Look at what we've done, threw our secrets out into the sun. There ain't no time, just you and I, and skinny lies." I don't really have anything to comment on here, it's just really well done. There's so outro, the song just ends on a  line. But it's still really good. 

That's it for this one, see you next time :)
