 Song 243

Hello my fellow music lovers! Welcome back to the blog! Today I am reviewing The Wounded by Skarlett Riot! Another band that I feel like doesn't have a lot of people that know about them. I could be wrong on that front, but I just feel like they're kind of lost to time maybe. But anyway, let's get into it! 

The intro on this song sounds like something out of a movie, it has this fast paced guitar riff happening. With epic back up from the drums. This leads us into the first verse: "From every wound there is a scar, and with every step I take the longer they take to heal. The weaker that I feel, oh and I can't commit to this fragile heart. The pain that's taken over, the outrage, the heartache." I feel these lyrics with every part of my soul, I also have a fragile heart. And sometimes that backfires on me, but I'm also grateful for the heart I have. Even with the scars. The chorus: "Oh, you're the weakness inside me, the poison. Oh, you're the venom I can't see. You keep pulling me in, to the darkest place. Face down in the dirt, you love it when I hurt. Oh, you're the weakness inside me, inside me." I honestly feel this section about the poison and the venom. I have a habit of only seeing the good in people, which has also backfired on me. I couldn't freaking see that my ex was never good for me, I'm just at a point where I wish I never got involved with them. I think that's normal though. I also really like how the chorus is arranged, it sounds very satisfying. The second verse: "I suffocate with every word. Every lie, every move you made. I detoxicate, elliminate those mistakes. I won't let you suck me dry, I'm stronger now from all the scars you made. They fade away, you slip away, I escaped. You mean nothing to me." Wow, what a therapuetic sentence! Also free style dancing to stronger by Britney Spears, that is therapuetic as well. I do feel stronger now, I know that I am living my life, and finding myself again. That's what's really important. The chorus repeats two more times, then it's the outro. This has the same sound as the intro, that action movie sequence backing track. I love it! It also draws out before ending! Which is always an added bonus. 

And that will do it for this review! I really think other people are gonna love this song, and the music video is great too! Until next time, happy listening! RAWR XD <3
