Originally recorded as a demo, the rough production and male/female vocal trade off appealed to fans of Atari Teenage Riot and front man JP Anderson's previous project, The Shizit. Fans demanded the release of the album in CD format, and Anderson obliged, not altering the production and keeping the record true to its original form. Rabbit Junk got the immediate attention of Metal Hammer Magazine who graced the debut with a 9/10. The album sold through its first pressing while only being available from Rabbit Junk's own web store. The success of the release encouraged Anderson to release the next Rabbit Junk album, ReFrame, in the same manner. Self released in '06, ReFrame ushered in the use of even more diverse influences, ranging from black metal to classical to hiphop. The album's success lead to a deal with Detroit based Full Effect Records, who promised Anderson 100% creative control and support in his continuing endeavor to explore new territory in the world of extreme music. From there, Anderson sought to focus his far flung influences, and began working on what would become the most ambitious Rabbit Junk album yet This Life Is Where You Get Fucked... . Arranged in three sections, each section drawing from a specific set of musical and emotional influences, This Life... would become controversial amongst the Rabbit Junk fan base and ruffle the feathers of Metal's more orthodox patrons. During late '08 and into '09, Rabbit Junk began incrementally releasing an MP3 follow up to This Life...cryptically titled Project Nonagon. Nonagon picks up where This Life...left off, continuing each section by a further 3 tracks and refining Anderson's original vision. Anderson has insisted that Project Nonagon be available for free to the public and web radio. Visit www.rabbitjunk.com/nonagon/nonagon.htm to grab your free tracks!

Rabbit Junk Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All my heroes are dead
Just broken bodies in my head (Fallen)
And I'm out here on my own
Counting my dead
Covering some with a stone
For the things they never said

Better off stronger now

If you face the truth with open eyes
(Spiritual, Overwhelmed)
Life would be much easier
If I learned to live the lies

Hey!

Did you listen to your selfish human voice
Say what it means to you in order to survive

All my heroes are dead
Just broken bodies in my head (Fallen)
And I'm out there on my own
Counting my dead
Covering some with a stone
For the things they never said

(Simple words, for complications)
I always trained myself, it makes me feel like shit
(Those open eyes, Dissolutions)
Complicating strategies, our check to see virility

Hey!

So now I've found myself in hell, oh, well, I'm wandering
Ignoring the pretty signs that the show the way out

All my heroes are dead
Broken bodies in my head (Fallen)
And I'm out here on my own
Counting my dead
Covering some with a stone
For the things they never said

All my heroes are dead
Broken bodies in my head

The real question is: how long can I endure myself?
Looking inward reveals only pain
Self-driven destruction, burn away your eyes again
But when I view you we'll all be the same

All my heroes are dead
Broken bodies in my head (Fallen)

I need the courage to make fame
Leave your pressure with me

And now I know
And now I know
All my heroes are dead

Broken bodies in my head
You!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rabbit Junk's song "Home" describes the feeling of being alone and abandoned by one's heroes or role models who are no longer present to guide or show the way. The singer shares how they have had to bury some of their "dead" heroes who never got to say what they really wanted to say. The lyrics suggest that facing the truth with open eyes and not living in lies makes one stronger, even if it makes them feel like shit. The singer acknowledges the complications of life and how they have been trained to cope with it all, but once they find themselves in a difficult situation, it feels like they are in hell. The lyrics end with the singer wanting the courage to make their own fame and to leave the pressure with them.

The lyrics are quite deep and can be interpreted in different ways. It could be about the singer's struggle with their own identity and not having people they look up to or it could be about the difficulty of navigating through life alone. The song overall has an angst-driven energy that captures the sense of hopelessness that comes with feeling abandoned.
