about

OUTSIDERS UNITE! With our new single "Forever Outsider" (release date February 9th) , we want to make being an outsider great again and call on all loners to build a new community with us! The song joins "Downward Spiral" as the second single of our upcoming EP, which will be released this summer. We want to manifest our liberation strike and let all people know it's more than ok if you don't fit into a specific category as a band!

lyrics

never really fitted in
never played with the cool kids
low level self-esteem
I feel ugly and wasted

why am I such a let-down?
(down and out with my few friends)
disappointing my few friends
a never ending poise

forever outsider
forever feeling out of place
stuck in a cage fight with my exaggerated ego
forever twenty seconds late
I win their pity but I lose my faith
forever intimidated by the crooked looks from my next-door neighbours

and so I bottle up the pain
frail polish scraped off from my nails
another poorly acted scene
that‘s just another occasion wasted
to fit my life into your screen

forever outsider
forever feeling out of place
stuck in a cage fight with my exaggerated ego
forever twenty seconds late
I win their pity but I lose my faith
lay down your baseball bats, I‘m nice
(hey, that’s right)

outsiders unite
we are the bad dreams of their sleepless nights
bullies fall by the wayside
when we come out
we’re just hanging around
we are the loneliest gang in town

forever outsider
forever feeling out of place
stuck in a cage fight with my pretentious ego
forever twenty seconds late
I win their pity but I lose my faith
lay down your baseball bats, I‘m nice

outsiders unite
we’re just hangin’ about
we are the coolest gang in town
