about

Fauve means "Wild Beast" in French. Fauvism (Les Fauves) was an art movement lead by Matisse, Derain and more. I highly recommend researching the history and significance of fauvism in impacting all the art that followed, including us! This song is about bright colors, mixed feelings, internal conflict and crooked lines. Andrew absolutely outdid himself on the drums he programmed for this track. We are pleased with its final form! I really hope y'all enjoy this one. "Fauve (Instrumental)" will be available on more streaming platforms this week.

lyrics

FAUVE

I've been trying
To figure out
What's going on inside my head
Where the hope fled
I just don't like myself anymore

Something strange occurs
My emotions perturbed
I become a monster
Howling to the moon
Scratching at my skin

There's a wild beast
Trapped inside of me
No use running away
No shelter in the day
Gotta kill to eat

I'm a wild beast
A fauve
A mystery
Gotta kill to eat
Gotta kill to eat
What is wrong with me
Gotta kill to eat

Sticks and stones
May break my bones
Your harsh words
Don't phase me
I'm here for the kill
Half against my will
Blood thirsty and cruel

There's a wild beast
Trapped inside of me
No use running away
No shelter in the day
Gotta kill to eat

I'm a wild beast
A fauve
A mystery
Gotta kill to eat
Gotta kill to eat
Is there hope for me
Gotta kill to eat
