Lyrics:
it’s a dress, not a „yes“
not a cry for your attention
a night out with friends
heading in the wrong direction
see you in the dark
on the street, following me
take a picture in my mind
is yours the last face that i’ll see
it’s a dress, not a „yes“
not a f*cking invitation
a night out with friends
won’t ever feel the same again
my hair, my face
my tongue, my legs
won’t ever feel the same again
my hands, my hips
my mouth, my lips
won’t ever feel the same again
see you in the dark
on the street, following me
watch it flash before my eyes
all the things that couldn’t happen to me
it’s a dress, not a „yes“
not a f*cking invitation
a night out with friends
won’t ever feel the same again
i’ll never feel the same again
i’ll never be the same again
Infos:
Softcult widmen sich in ihren Songs oft schwierigen und gleichzeitig wichtigen Themen. Der Song zum Thema Gaslighting war Anfang letztens Jahres bereits eines unserer Videos der Woche. In ihrem neusten Song Dress widmen sich Softcult einem weiteren überaus wichtigen Thema, Consent (dt. Zustimmung, Einverständnis). Mercedes Arn-Horn (lead vocals, guitar) sagt über Dress folgendes:
This song is about consent; it’s about saying “no” and having it happen to you anyway. It’s about being followed while walking alone at night or being cornered in a bar when we’re just trying to have a night out with our friends. It’s about the lingering fear and trauma that haunts us long after these experiences have happened. It’s about how these experiences make us feel powerless and change the way we see ourselves.
Dress wird Teil der für den 24. März angekündigten, 6 Songs umfassenden, EP See You In The Dark sein.
