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
Fangs
Little Red Lung Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your mouth was on fire and bone sore
I know you dug for years below the ground
You shouldn't be wild inside if you're a beast in the headlights
In an instant your predator hands reached to the throat
I knew you were waiting to die the whole time
You shouldn't be wild inside if you're a beast in the headlights
The lyrics to Little Red Lung's song "Fangs" are vivid and haunting, describing a scene in which the singer has buried someone's fangs in a deep well. This person, who is likened to a beast, seems to have been in pain and suffering before their death ("Your mouth was on fire and bone-sore"), yet they also had a predatory instinct that the singer recognized ("In an instant your predator hands reached to the throat").
The chorus, "You shouldn't be wild inside if you're a beast in the headlights," suggests that the person was struggling with their inner demons and perhaps lost control of their primal urges. The imagery of being caught in the headlights of a car furthers this idea of being stuck in a kind of limbo, unable to move forward or escape one's own nature.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of someone who was simultaneously fierce and vulnerable, struggling to come to terms with their own identity and animal instincts.
