2) The shortlived Atlanta based grind outfit Charmer unleashes sheer visceral madness. Trimming down to merely a vocalist, guitarist, and drummer, their sole release has been a self-titled 7" (of which only 150 were pressed and all were sold on Charmer's most recent tour). Due to the damage caused by their furious live shows, the members have done a helluva job keeping their identities more or less a secret, having been known to perform adorned in gas masks and under many different aliases.
Since the band's break-up, guitarist "Emmerson Longfellow" and vocalist "Pelham Winchester" began writing under the guies of End Life (http://myspace.com/endfuckinglife).
Slow Death
Charmer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Learn to be alone
Cycle through season
Dream of you old home
It's true I really miss when we were friends
My slow death
And you only you can have your little death
The lyrics of Slow death by Charmer are filled with emotional depth and they speak volumes about the human experience. The beginning of the song emphasizes on introspection and self-reflection. The line "Sort out your demons" is implying that the person is struggling with inner turmoil or personal struggles that they need to come to terms with. The line "Learn to be alone" may suggest that the person is struggling to build a relationship with themselves and deal with their inner demons. The following line "Cycle through seasons" suggests that they are coming to terms with the changes in life and the passing of time, as the only constant in life is change.
The second half of the lyrics intensify emotionally, where the singer admits that they miss the days when they were friends, but the friendship has slowly faded to the point of becoming a slow death. The line "And you only you can have your little death" may suggest that the person has given up on the friendship, as they feel like they cannot fix it if the other person is not willing to put in the effort or is not aware of it.
Overall, Slow Death by Charmer is a powerful song that speaks about the emotional struggles of human relationships, the importance of introspection and self-reflection, and the need to face and deal with one's inner demons.
