On their October 2020 début album, Mediocre, brutal, the band explore the monotony of daily routines, survival of the dullest kind, because boring is intense.

Fuelled by the lingering energy of repetitive rhythm, the band’s album is loaded by wayward guitars that wash away the dead taste of vending machine coffee, breaking free from frustration with sharp jolts. Lyrics about cutlery and new coats blend with Global Charming’s lean compositions, marked by playful synths and percussion.

Global Charming Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It’s a load of pain
I believe it’s structured
If I open wide
Leave no other option
My first day on earth
Resurrected I am
Sleep under the hand
Weeps the time away

Line by Line Meaning

It’s a load of pain
The world is full of suffering and hardship.

I believe it’s structured
Despite the chaos, there is an underlying order and pattern to life.

If I open wide
If I am vulnerable and honest with my emotions.

Leave no other option
There is no other choice but to face and deal with the problems at hand.

My first day on earth
Starting anew with a fresh perspective and mindset.

Resurrected I am
Rising above past struggles and traumas and starting anew.

Sleep under the hand
Feeling helpless and at the mercy of outside forces.

Weeps the time away
The passage of time can be painful and brings about change and loss.
