about

The third track of the three latest Ess-Em releases, Perro Negro is a big ‘fuck you!’ to depression and mental health struggles. Full of rage, frustration and determination, Perro Negro was another ‘write now, ask questions later’ exercise in getting thoughts and bullshit confronting emotions out there.

lyrics

LYRICS

Because to tell you the truth -
your timing couldn’t be worse
I’m inferring, not referring, I’m afflicted and infected
With a sickening curse

It runs through
my boiling blood
Contracting tremors from above
It’s compacting, not exacting, non extracting
And it’s only getting worse
I can feel it getting worse

¡Jodete perro negro!
¡Perro está jodida!
¡Jodete perro negro!
¡está jodida!

I’m running out of spoons,
But I know you wanna feast on soup,
I guess I better tell the group, regroup, how will I ever recoup?
There’s a hundred ways to consume, I think, I think, I’m think I’m screwed.
I gotta find a gap in this re-loop,
My god,
I think I’m through!
I think I’m through!

¡Jodete perro negro!
¡Perro está jodida!
¡Jodete perro negro!
¡está jodida!

I’m gonna go where I don’t wanna be going
If I don’t, then there is no knowing,
Fruitless husk; I hope I am not showing
My insides

I’m right on the right track
Heading for a freight train
mind's in tact
Before I go insane
I’m sorry we’re on the same wavelength
We won’t die!!

¡Perro negro está jodida!
Black dog, get fucked, go fuck ya!
