RedHook - Low Budget Horror Lyrics

RedHook Lyrics

"Low Budget Horror"

Maniac
Maniac
With a camera
You attack
In the dark
Like a predator
Poor mental health is an excuse I can't acquit
For being such a piece of shit

People like
People like you
Repulse me
Treating pain
Treating pain
Like it's currency
You inflict damage 'cause you're damaged to the core
I won't accept it anymore

Come on then
Cast me in your fucked up dream
Corn syrup murder scene
You're gonna
You're gonna
You're gonna die for
This low budget horror
Such a sad attempt to terrorise
Derivative plot line
You're gonna
You're gonna
You're gonna cry for
This low budget horror starring me

Did you think
That I'd shake
Shake and shiver?
Try to tear me apart
Like the ripper?
The only shocking thing about this story's twist
Is people like you exist

I'm Exorcist
You're Troll 2
Almost embarrassed for you
Fingerless Freddie, threadbare
Not even good enough for my nightmares

Come on then
Cast me in your fucked up dream
Corn syrup murder scene
You're gonna
You're gonna
You're gonna die for
This low budget horror
Such a sad attempt to terrorise
Derivative plot line
You're gonna
You're gonna
You're gonna cry for
This low budget horror starring me
This low budget horror starring me

Come on then
Cast me in your fucked up dream
Corn syrup murder scene
You're gonna
You're gonna
You're gonna die for
This low budget horror
And I -
I never asked for this
But I'm not afraid
So go lay in
The death bed you've made
You're gonna
You're gonna
You're gonna cry for
This low budget horror starring me

"This one's a biggie for us since it's our first ever self-produced track!" wrote RedHook about "Low Budget Horror" on Facebook on the 21st of January, 2022.

Emmy Mack explained what inspired this track, "A person I'd never met before reached out over social media to give me a heads up that someone else, a total stranger to me, had been (and there really isn't a more delicate way to put this) viciously blogging her attempts at home-wrecking my relationship. Then, after being confronted with what she'd been doing, the bully backtracked & blamed her actions on her mental health. I am so sick of people using mental health to justify hurting and harming others. It's not. And this song is the sound of me processing all my thoughts & feelings around that situation – anger, shock, disgust, pity."
