MESSAGE DELETED

from Baby Forever by Du Blonde

/

about

While retaining Du Blonde’s signature guitar riffs and cutting lyrics, MESSAGE DELETED is a departure from the upbeat rollercoaster of Homecoming, taking us on a journey deep into the worst parts of her own depression. Lyrics such as “I don’t want to feel it, I just want to die” are delivered with reserved melancholy above a soundscape of swelling bass synths, glitches, samples and electronic trap beats.

“These days I mostly have my depression under control, but when it does rear its head, it goes from zero to a hundred in a matter of hours. Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about a symptom of depression that people don’t really seem to talk about, which is suicidal ideation without intent to actually go through with it. A lot of the time when people with depression express a desire to die, what they really want is for everything to just stop. The overwhelm, the panic, the fear, the emotion or lack thereof - the brain and body can only handle so much before it feels the only option is to shut down. With MESSAGE DELETED, I wanted to document that feeling not just lyrically, but within the landscape of the instrumentation and production, marrying melancholic swells and drones with unsettling glitches and muted, driving overdriven guitar ”

lyrics

I don’t wanna believe it
I don’t wanna feel it
I just wanna die
I don’t wanna be here
Just wanna disappear
And get high

Don’t wanna believe it
I don’t wanna feel it
I just wanna die
I don’t wanna be here
Just wanna disappear
And get high

Baby what is it like
To see the moon in the sky
And think that heaven is
A place that you go when you die
All I see before me
Is just a big galaxy
Needs dusting off as bad as
I need my sobriety
X2

I don’t wanna believe it
I don’t wanna feel it
I just wanna die
I don’t wanna be here
Just wanna disappear
And get high

Don’t wanna believe it
I don’t wanna feel it
I just wanna die
I don’t wanna be here
Just wanna disappear
And get high

I don’t wanna believe it
I don’t wanna feel it
I just wanna die
I don’t wanna be here
Just wanna disappear
And get high

Don’t wanna believe it
I don’t wanna feel it
I just wanna die
I don’t wanna be here
Just wanna disappear
And get high
