Butcher

Butcher – About

Butcher, an emotional story told both in lyrics and instrumental. Kicking it off with her first original single, produced, recorded and written by Bashia. Packed with emotion in a cinematic indie-styled track. She carries the listener on a journey, her lyrics twist and intertwine along with the instrumental and foley details which gives it more meaning and depth to her song.

Listen Now!

The feeling of having a beating heart in hand and a dagger penetrating through the core of it, not only the heart but the hand of the holder as well. Carries a deep meaning of what it feels to love someone who you must let go, though letting go might be painful to us too. Bashia’s main idea for the song is exactly that, and with her metaphorical lyrics she also allows the listener to have their own interpretation/meaning of the song.

Butcher Lyrics

What if what you feel inside isn’t for me?

It’s for what you thought that I would be, there’s a storm inside my head, I can’t breathe.

And now I’m twisting your arms, tearing your heart apart, right from the start, like melted art

Doubting every part of our brains, noticing that we’ve both gone insane

Can’t you see what’s inside of me?

Oh roses keep on cutting your hands, but you keep on holding them, even if you’re bleeding out

I am a butcher, you must escape from me now

But why are you leaving? Why are you running? Is it a monster? But where? I don’t see anything

Why do I have blood on my clothes? Why am I holding a beating heart? Why is there a knife in my pocket? Why are you running? Honey, there’s nothing

Why are you afraid? it’s me, and now you can finally see, the beast that’s underneath

I am a, in- in- inside of me

I am a, be- be- be- beating heart

I am a, mo- mo- mo- mo- mo- mo- monster

I am a, in- in- inside of me

I am a, be- be- be- beating heart

I am a, mo- mo- mo- mo- mo- mo- monster

I am a butcher, you must escape from me now

But why are you leaving? Why are you running? Is it a monster? But where? I don’t see anything

I am a butcher, you must escape from me now

Oh please don’t leave me
