Synopsis
Dirty Karma's first official release. Recorded at Molotov's Studio (Topetitud) in Mexico City under the label "La Morena Records".
Produced by Dirty Karma, John Gibbe (Zoe, Bengala & Molotov) and Milo Froideval (Molotov & HBO's Capadocia) and mastered at Sterling Sound NYC by Chris Gehringer (Madonna, Dandy Warhols & Molotov)
It captures the band's fresh approach to garage rock combined subtly with latin arrangements, powerful guitars and a steady rythm section. A classic rock sound worthy of 2008.
Friction
Dirty Karma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know that everybody here is my mistake
Ill be forever slave
To the sound of all the chaos in this town
We all have feathers, but we can not fly
Into the night!
It makes me sick
Ill be forever slave
To the dreams of mountains that I cannot cross
My thoughts of you are keeping me alive
Youre all I ever loved
Ill bare you to the bones
Youre all I ever loved
The only one I hold
Dont be scared
Live is wise and gives whatever you deserve
You know what you have done
With the power placed upon your human hands Everything
beside you is your fault
Youre all I ever loved
Ill bare you to the bones
Youre all I ever loved
The only one I hold
In "Friction" by Dirty Karma, the singer expresses a sense of guilt and responsibility for their own mistakes and the chaos that surrounds them. The phrase "my mistake" is repeated throughout the song as if to acknowledge a sense of ownership over their actions. The singer seems to be trapped in their own thoughts, unable to escape the chaos and turmoil of the environment they are in. They describe themselves as a "forever slave" to the sound of the chaos in their town, and to the dreams of mountains they cannot cross. However, despite being trapped in this situation, the singer's thoughts of love and devotion to someone else are keeping them alive.
The lyrics "We all have feathers, but we cannot fly" suggest that everyone has potential, but not everyone is able to reach it or achieve their dreams. The singer seems to be stuck and unable to move forward, perhaps due to their past mistakes. They express their love for someone, whom they will bare down to their bones, suggesting a sense of devotion and intimate connection to this person.
The final verse suggests that the singer has learned from their mistakes and is encouraging others to take responsibility for their own actions. The phrase "with the power placed upon your human hands, everything beside you is your fault" suggests a sense of accountability towards oneself and the power that they hold. Ultimately, the singer's love and devotion for someone else seems to serve as a motivation to move on from their mistakes and take responsibility for their lives.
