Fall River

Lights Out

The President Has Been Kidnapped By Ninjas

---

Vocals
I like the crazy sound of the vocals. Very fast paced and must be a challenge to keep up with.

Music
I like the chopped up sound of the music. It does good at highlighting the vocals and creating a movement I like in the sound.

Lyrics
What can one expect from a name like this? It sounds so light. I do find the lyrics are not light though.

I think they are voicing the idea that someone is struggling to feel better. She desperately wants to be fixed so she is willing to go under the knife if it will fix her. Younger girls don't see what she has been through, they only see her outward appearance. They are being brainwashed to think that they too need to go under the knife so they can be the same. So they can be "pretty" like her.

I think the lyrics really stir up the thoughts of how we truly do hide pain in life and expect children to value fake, unrealistic things.

Recreate with surgeon's hands a girl who cannot feel the past. Carve into existing flesh and set an angel free at last. Just tell me that you can fix it! Just say that you can fix me!

The other girls all watch me, bruised blue from his surgery. They tug at their mother's sleeve and say "someday I'll be pretty". Someday we'll be pretty
