about

Sharks and Foxes was inspired lyrically by the true story of a prostitute who overdosed in a hotel room and was left like trash for hotel workers to find. It speaks to the men who use these women daily, the misogyny, and the power dynamics of the sex worker trade. On this song, we incorporated a non-traditional song structure and ditched a chorus in favor of creating a more chaotic ending, to highlight the nature of the topic we were broaching. Sound design was paramount on this song and we feel it really showcases the vibes and haunting loss that we wanted it to.

lyrics

Sharks and Foxes

Own that baller,
He paid for you

Borrowed shelter
To fade with fees

Own that dollar
You paid to feel

Sparks and cowards
They ain't fake for free

Own that baller
You take to knees

Sharks and Foxes
He picks his kill

Crashing backwards
You always fell

Own that baller
He staged your thrill
