Slick Idiot's music is more than club-worthy, with pulsating beats and swift synthetic sounds, but it also contains a solid industrial metal foundation with thrashing innovation by Günter's unique guitar stylings and En Esch's funky beats and gruff vocals. Add to it, soul, provided by vocalist Erica Dilanjian and the additional programming and live drumming of Gregg Ziemba, and Slick Idiot provides many points of sonic titillation.
Since its inception Slick Idiot has released 3 studio albums ("DickNity", "Screwtinized" and "Sucksess") along with 2 remix albums ("ReDickulous" and "xScrewciating"). The band followed each release with a major U.S. tour and recently completed the "In The Flesh Tour" to promote the new release of "Sucksess", which saw the band play 44 cities from coast to coast.
Make Me Believe
Slick Idiot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Neither Beautiful Nor Sexy, It Is Far Too Real.
I Don't Remember Sinking The Eight Ball,
I Don't Remember Winning Or Losing It All.
Want To Seduce Me, Stop Enlarging The Hype,
(Long) Felt That I Ought To Be Pissed But I Let It Slide.
You Will Find Out What It All Means,
Whether It's Worth It To Dodge Constantly.
Make Me, Make Me, Make Me Believe !!
We Are Experimental, Unpredictable And Not Very Talented Indeed.
Just So Off Target, You Need Much To Much
Instant Connection And Sensual Touch.
Have You Surrendered And Are You Feeling Raw ?
Demise Is Imminent, It's Your Time To Withdraw.
You Will Find Out What It All Means,
Whether It's Worth It To Dodge Constantly.
Make Me, Make Me, Make Me Believe !! Make Me, Make Me !!
The lyrics of Slick Idiot's "Make Me Believe" reflect on one's search for the truth and the effort to distinguish it from the hype and the superficial. The opening lines describe a scream that is both powerful and brave, yet far from seductive or glamorous. This suggests that the truth is not always pleasing, but it is authentic, and it deserves our attention.
The next lines touch on one's inability to remember past events accurately, which can be seen as a metaphor for our tendency to forget the true nature of things and be influenced by the exaggerations of others. The following lines suggest that one can only be seduced by the truth itself, not by the hype surrounding it. The singer admits that he felt he should be angry, but he decided to let it slide, indicating that he has adopted a more detached and objective approach to the truth.
The chorus repeats the line "make me believe," which can be seen as a plea for the truth to reveal itself or for the singer to be convinced of its authenticity. The following lines describe the band's experimental and unpredictable nature and self-deprecatingly admit that they are not very talented. The final lines suggest that one should know when to withdraw and accept defeat, indicating that sometimes the truth can be painful, and it is better to let it go.
