Currently, Little Red Lung is rapidly filling up their calendar with live performances in and around the Los Angeles area including being featured on the Ship Stage at the 13th Annual Eagle Rock Music Festival, and venues such as The Satellite, Pehrspace, The Echo, Hotel Cafe, and The Central SAPC, as well as completing production on their second full length album. In addition, they are currently filming a series of stop motion music videos for their first full-length album "Get on the Boat." They plan to release the videos and the album as a special addition double disk package in early 2012.
"A very sophisticated blend of programmed beats, keyboards, strings and expressive, imaginatively phrased vocals, Little Red Lung presents that rarity, a totally individual, completely coherent artistic vision. They really don’t sound like anyone else, although there are moments when a hint of something shines through, a whiff of Portishead or a distant rumble of Suzanne Vega… Excellent stuff throughout." - Live Unsigned
Beware
Little Red Lung Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beware
Its ficious,
Out there.
We'll loose,
We'll win,
Inside my head.
Your burning breath,
Your shaking,
I carry you,
Above the fire,
And leave you there,
The chill is out.
The song "Beware" by Little Red Lung is an intense and haunting track that explores the idea of being stuck inside one's own head and trying to navigate through the various emotions and thoughts that plague the mind. The repeated warning of "Beware" adds a sense of urgency and danger to the song, creating a feeling of unease that is heightened by the driving, pounding rhythm of the music.
The lyrics describe the physical and emotional sensations that come with being at the mercy of one's own mind. The burning breath, pounding heart, and shaking all point to a feeling of fear and anxiety, and the image of carrying someone "above the fire" suggests a desperate attempt to escape these feelings. The singer leaves the other person "there" above the fire, which could be interpreted as abandoning them to face their fears alone or finally finding some sort of release from their inner demons.
Overall, "Beware" is a powerful and emotionally charged song that speaks to the universal experience of struggling with our own thoughts and feelings. It's a reminder to be cautious and mindful of the dangers that lurk within us, but also a call to fight through them and come out stronger on the other side.

Remain cautious and vigilant
Its ficious,
The situation is vicious and dangerous
Out there.
This danger is in the outside world
We'll loose,
There is a possibility of losing
We'll win,
There is a possibility of winning
Inside my head.
I am struggling with fear and uncertainty within myself
Your burning breath,
You are breathing heavily and fast out of anxiety
Pounding heart,
Your heart is beating hard and fast due to fear
Your shaking,
You are physically trembling out of fear
I carry you,
I am there to support and protect you
Above the fire,
Despite the dangerous situation, I will lift you up and out of harm's way
And leave you there,
I will ensure your safety and leave you in a secure place
The chill is out.
The fear and danger have subsided, and there is a sense of relief and safety
