Over the years Pretty Maids have sold hundreds of thousands of records, but have never broken through in a major way. They have supported such well known acts as Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, Saxon, Nazareth and were also featured at the 1987 German version of Monsters of Rock where Metallica headlined along with Deep Purple.
The new 2006 album "Wake Up to the Real World" shows the band back in former glory. Great hard rock/melodic rock with a metal touch to it. The album includes a cover of Deep Purple's classic gem "Perfect Strangers". Pretty Maids is currently signed to Frontiers Records.
Violent Tribe
Pretty Maids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Outcast of the world
Gathered are the species
All the misfits of the earth
The subhuman nation
Terrifying scene
Second hand civilisation
All are we covered by blackened clouds
See how we rot from the inside and out
Hold on to yourself
Stick to your guns
Law of the jungle
The truth here is worse than the lie
All numb
Hearts made of steel
Fear for your life
Cause the violent tribe is for real
Culture of destruction
Dead society
Never turn your back
Cause you don't know your enemy
Chaos and disorder
Like a third world war
Blood flows like water
In this stinking sour
Out here where life is worth nothing to some
Down in the gutter your second to none
Never close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
[CHORUS]
Among this scum
In this miserable slum you're alone
You cannot run you cannot escape
There's no getaway
There ain't no sanctuary there's no relief
No way out of here
Children of aggression
Twenty first century trash
A terror vision
In your face
In your face
Kill for no reason
And show no remorse
Brothers in treason
Reject from the laws
Hold your spirit high
[CHORUS]
The lyrics of Pretty Maids's song "Violent Tribe" delves into the concept of outcasts and how the society perceives them. The band paints a picture of a world where a subhuman tribe of violent misfits has formed, consisting of various species, all discarded from society. The band describes these groups as the 'culture of destruction' who don't have any respect for the laws and norms of the world. They are violent in the extreme, and their hearts are made of steel, with no fear for their lives.
The song creates a sense of urgency, asking its audience never to close their eyes to the violence and brutality surrounding us. The band insists that we need to stick to our values and beliefs and hold our spirits high. We must realize that among this scum, we are alone, and there's no safe place we can run or hide. The lyrics emphasize the message of never letting go of ourselves, holding tight to our convictions, and never giving up, even in the face of chaos and disorder.
