about

“Cherrytight is a metaphor for the backlash and social reaction to the AIDS crisis in the 1980s. The song is a poetic discussion of how the crisis which grieved the LGBTQ community was twisted to promote fear mongering of homosexual and bisexual people and laid blame on our community. The lyrics relate to the excessive marginalisation which came from the discriminative reactions that pushed the queer community into the shadows. Amongst the catchy bass line and powerful flange is a protest for those queer lives who died in the shadows and those who are emerging from them today.”
- Casper James, vocals & lyrics

lyrics

Feral juices flow through the soil
As his dandelion serves to another blow
Widowed mother charging lower and lower and lower and lower
For the dandelions to tear her roe

Shallow the water which fills your sockets
Whilst the drips drip drop
To my secret head lot
And drown your sorrow in the serum of my kiss
In the serum of my hips
You stored the weakness in my lips

In the serum of my kiss
In the serum of my kiss

Candy highs with her electric friend
On which pure Danny's dreamland reminisce
Shatter your glasses we drink from the lung
A time to rejoice, lords hims to be sung
Inside his palace, a wonderful beast
Delicious temptation, my darling I feast

Shallow the water which fills your sockets
Whilst the drips drip drop
To my secret head lot
And drown your sorrow in the serum of my kiss
In the serum of my hips
You stored the weakness in my lips

Let floral flow through your sockets
As his Cherrytight iris skyrockets

To all the good men
To us delicate Fags
We sleep with our angel
God rest his palms in my glands
