Taking inspiration from the music he grew up with, he writes and produces electronic, synth-based pop and dance songs, often writing from fictional points of view, getting across interesting, thought-provoking narratives in an enjoyable, often danceable and contagiously melodic format.

To LorD and Master, the music, lyrics, production, mixing and design are all-important; and who performs it is secondary, separating himself from the potential trappings of identity that can cloud the music itself.

The Party's Over
LorD and Master Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's face it, the party's over
All that's left is mess and being sober
We've nowhere left to go
And nothing left to say

Let's face it, it's never worth it
Cold, alone, outside; it's so imperfect
You can struggle all you want

It's pointless anyway

Get up, pack up, goodbye
The party's over
It's time to say goodbye
The party's over

You can feel it in your heart
It's time for us to part
The party's over

Let's face it, the party's over
All that's left is mess and being sober
We've nowhere left to go
And nothing left to say

Let's face it, it's never worth it
Cold, alone, outside; it's so imperfect
You can struggle all you want
It's pointless anyway

Get up, pack up, goodbye
The party's over
It's time to say goodbye
The party's over

You can feel it in your heart

It's time for us to part
The party's over

Overall Meaning

In LorD and Master's "The Party's Over," the lyrics paint a bleak picture of the aftermath of a party. The lyrics are a reflection on the transience of human connections and the passing of time. The repetition of "let's face it" suggests an almost resigned acceptance of the inevitable end of the party and the end of the fun. The party-goers must now deal with the mess left behind and sober up, facing the bleak reality of their lives.

The lyrics also speak to the fact that parties are often a temporary escape from reality, and that the fun and excitement are fleeting. The line "You can struggle all you want, it's pointless anyway" suggests that life has a way of catching up with us, no matter how hard we try to avoid it. The song is a reminder that nothing lasts forever, and that we must face the consequences of our actions when the party's over.
