**Mallory Oakland, CA:
From the sweat, blood, and tears of three East Bay locals; Mallory is the combined efforts of Dan Contreras, Kenneth Greer, and Dan Stilwell. The three formed a group after Dan S. and Kenneth were shocked by a self-produced demo of Dan Contreras’. The trio, having grown-up and played together, instantly clicked. Dan S. and Kenneth moved Dan C. in and began working on producing a record. Soon they had a demo made; recorded entirely at the home they share in Berkeley. In early 2012 Mallory entered the studio and tracked their debut full length Pretty Dirty Ugly Clean set to release this summer.

Hold up
Mallory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We’re the ghost inside your closet
We’re the ghost inside your bed
We’re coming now to steal your dreams
To suck your life until the end
Our shadow’s rising behind you
Maybe, we will pee on you
and we will use them…yes we can !
yeah !
feel it ! baby !
feel it ! lazy !
the way we talk, the way we are crazy
you are alone and alone my friend
you won’t escape until we say…
so !
come on baby ! come on baby !
shut the fuck up and listen to me
get up get up get up now
i said
get up get up get up now !
what we rip is just your soul !
The lyrics in Mallory's song "Hold Up" depict a haunting presence that exists within someone's closet and bed, representing the metaphorical ghosts that reside within our fears and anxieties. The song implies that these hidden fears have the power to steal our dreams and drain our life energy until the end. The rising shadow signifies the gradual manifestation of these fears, while the mention of peeing on someone conveys a sense of dominance and power, as if they have the ability to degrade and control.
The repeated phrases and exclamations of "guns, guns...my friend" and "we will use them...yes we can" suggest a menacing and rebellious nature, symbolizing the raw power that these fears possess. The lyrics also emphasize the intensity and unpredictability of their presence, encouraging the listener to "feel it" and highlighting the chaotic and irrational nature of these fears. The repetition of "get up now" and urging the listener to "shut the fuck up and listen" portrays a sense of urgency and authority, implying that these fears demand attention and compliance.
Overall, "Hold Up" delves into the concept of inner monsters and hidden fears that can hinder personal growth and success. It serves as a reminder that confronting and acknowledging these fears is crucial in order to break free from their grip and reclaim control over one's life.

We’re the ghost inside your closet
We are the hidden fears and secrets that torment you
We’re the ghost inside your bed
We haunt your thoughts and invade your dreams
We’re coming now to steal your dreams
We aim to take away your hopes and aspirations
To suck your life until the end
To drain your vitality and joy until there's nothing left
Our shadow’s rising behind you
Our presence and influence loom ominously over you
Maybe, we will pee on you
Perhaps we will further degrade and humiliate you
‘cause we have guns, guns...my friend
Because we possess power and control over you
and we will use them...yes we can !
And we will exploit our power without hesitation
yeah !
A strong affirmation of our dominance
feel it ! baby !
Savor the fear and submission we instill
feel it ! lazy !
Embrace your vulnerability and helplessness
the way we talk, the way we are crazy
Our manipulative and unstable nature defines us
you are alone and alone my friend
You are left isolated and abandoned in your struggle
you won't escape until we say...
Your freedom is at our mercy and control
so !
Prepare yourself for what is to come
come on baby ! come on baby !
Submit and surrender completely to us
shut the fuck up and listen to me
Silence your voice and obey my commands
get up get up get up now
It's time for you to act and endure
i said
My words carry authority and must be followed
get up get up get up now !
Move, obey, and face your fate
what we rip is just your soul !
We mercilessly tear away at the core of your being
