Empty threats
(An empty threat)
Leave your lungs for warmer breath
And I am no longer
Encased in words left unsaid
I’m scared to death of growing older
And leaving traumas left unhealed
Before I go I need to make peace
With a hatred yet to yield

Departing old and painful lives
A violent heaven above my eyes
Sculpted out of precious stones
I now know I am platinum

I feel your hurt
It fills your heart more than I ever could
To fight is to torture
Repetitive marches around cherished moments
Despite my fantasies of sleeping underneath the weeds
I’ll tend to the garden the right way up
And wait to watch the flowers bloom

Departing old and painful ways
The firmament no longer grey
Sculpted out of precious stones
I am platinum
Violent heaven above my eyes
Sculpted out of precious stones
I am platinum

If I were you
And you were me
I’d force you to let go
You’ll prosper more without me
‘Cause this world is so dark
And all debts are due
I’ll do my best to take this weight
But I won’t carry you

Violent heaven above my eyes

Lyrics
I am above and beyond your predictions
Glass jaws and lacking convictions
Appropriate attire for the wannabe
‘Cause you’re fuckin’ acting like you grew up on struggle street
Loser

Full of rage, fake display
Fail to intimidate
Search for prey, driven by hate
Self-inflicted casualty

Wrists bent at unusual angles
Flattened palms holding up your forgery
Bitter aftertaste of a neglect to search for self-serenity
Recalling memory, devoid and weak is what you hid from me
Inside your mind is a hurt inner child but I’m not giving you my sympathy

I went to your stomping ground but no one knew your fucking name
You covet all this time; it’s nothing more than a dash between the dates
What good is a funeral when there’s no one around to mourn?
Empty casket, neglected grave
Silence when you leave this place

I went to your stomping ground but no one knew your fucking name
You covet all this time; it’s nothing more than a dash between the dates
What good is a funeral if there’s no one around to mourn?
Empty casket, neglected grave
Silence when you leave this place
Leave this place

You made the choice to pull on threads
But your tapestry’s lacking in common sense
Think you’re so damn slick, you make me sick
Throwing shit at a wall but nothing sticks.

Full of rage, fake display
Fail to intimidate
Search for prey, driven by hate
Self-inflicted casualty

You fucking piece of shit

Loser

Sugar Spine - Burnt Beyond Recognition (Official Music Video)

Sugar Spine 2025-05-18 | Sugar Spine - Burnt Beyond Recognition

Mixed and Mastered by Sebastian Sendon

Media from Kim Tielemans and Jesse Kusters

Lyrics

I watch the frozen pavement shudder
The bricks see me coming and know I’m gonna weigh them down
With a talent for heavy brooding
A reluctant nihilist I’ve recently found
I devour any compliment
Aware of the bitter taste as it hits my tongue
I’m earnestly concerned with preserving a sense of moral integrity
I’ll break your heart when you mistake me for someone new
Always working in lines drawn by darkened views
I am the thing I’m afraid to lose
Warned by the noise in my chest
And the detriments of wasting time
Set ablaze the peace that I ache to find
Burnt beyond recognition and cast aside
Warned by the noise in my chest
Warned by the noise
I am forgetting and it terrifies me
Absorbed and deformed in the way that it suits me
It’s gonna hurt like hell when I reach for your help but you’ve
Left because you wanted to protect yourself
I’ll break your heart when you think I’m someone new
Always working in lines drawn by darkened views
I am the thing I’m afraid to lose
Warned by the noise in my chest
And the detriments of wasting time
Set ablaze the peace that I ache to find
Burnt beyond recognition and cast aside
Warned by the noise in my chest
I swear I try to see you eye to eye
But it’s so hard when you hold me up high
I know I should be proud but I can’t help
That I hate the fact that I love myself

Lyrics
I think something is wrong
I’m slowly coming to terms
This feeling’s what I deserve but I have never earned
I’m locking eyes with strangers and
Seeing their younger selves so afraid and lost

I figured out the human condition
We are tied to the skin that we decline
Inner spark treated like a scar
Splitting under stress
No light under duress

No light under duress
I constantly wonder

Lost inside
Losing time
Younger minds
Wishing the body to die

I see through the keyhole
The door to your soul
Breathing in the mould
Oblivious to passages carved with old knives
Slide the blade under my nails
Expose the bed on which I’ll die

A bastion made of calluses
Hold the pain at bay
But I lock eyes with you once again
And feel the ache in my veins

Lost inside, losing time
Younger minds wishing the body to die
Wearing thin
The frail ways we justify
What we are reaching for
I’m locking eyes with strangers and
Seeing their younger selves
So afraid
And lost

Chrome Coloured Ribcage

Sugar Spine 2025-04-04 | Chat GPT Says:
These lyrics have a raw, intense, and confrontational tone, seemingly directed at someone perceived as vain, self-deluded, and disconnected from their true self. The imagery and themes suggest frustration with artificiality, pride, and a lack of self-awareness. Let’s break it down:

Themes & Meaning
Deconstructing Vanity & Ego
"I want to break apart your chrome-coloured ribcage / Find where your soul was fighting for more space"
→ The imagery of a "chrome-coloured ribcage" suggests something artificial, metallic, and unfeeling—perhaps a metaphor for a person who has armored themselves with vanity or self-importance. The speaker wants to break through this exterior to find the real person underneath, where their soul is "fighting for more space"—implying repression or suffocation of their true self.

Struggle Between Pride & Reality
"You’re preoccupied with dizzying heights / And to think you had a balanced vision"
→ The person being addressed is obsessed with ambition, status, or self-image, thinking they have control or perspective, but in reality, they are blinded by their own arrogance.

"Recognise hunger is just your greed in disguise"
→ Suggests that their constant desire for more (success, validation, power) isn’t a necessity but an insatiable greed masked as ambition.

Critique of Superficial Healing & Self-Deception
"Go and talk about it with another fucking therapist / And get a little band-aid fix on the table"
→ This could be a criticism of performative self-improvement—seeking therapy not for true change but for quick, surface-level fixes without real introspection.

"Exhibiting kindness but it’s just a facade"
→ Suggests that this person presents themselves as kind or virtuous, but it’s all for show rather than genuine compassion.

Loss of Identity & Meaning
"Trade your identity / In exchange for likability"
→ The idea that the person has sacrificed who they really are in order to be accepted, liked, or admired.

Final Condemnation – Pride & Self-Destruction
This person will waste their life in a delusion, and by the time they realize it, it will be too late.

Lyrics:
I want to break apart your chrome-coloured ribcage
Find where your soul was fighting for more space
Scratching to the top of the vagus
A forced escape to get away from your vanity
You’re preoccupied with dizzying heights
And to think you had a balanced vision
Call your bluff say you’ve had enough but
Recognise hunger is just your greed in disguise

(Waiting)
Wait ‘til you die for your pride to leave your clouded sight
(Corrupted)
Corrupted virtue, a fucking see-through
(Waiting)
Know that you’ll die before the day that you finally feel the weight
(Cast Iron)
Cast iron face, another idealist gone to waste

Go and talk about it with another fucking therapist and get a little band-aid fix on the table telling fables on the same old stables lines of ego inflatable
Come inside, look around, don’t avert your eyes and try to find sense or peace of mind
It’s no surprise that you would lie
Exhibiting kindness but it’s just a facade
Just a facade

Oi
Take a step back
Go reset your expectations and
Trade your identity
In exchange for likability

(Waiting)
Wait ‘til you die for your pride to leave your clouded sight
(Corrupted)
Corrupted virtue, a fucking see-through
(Waiting)
Know that you’ll die before the day that you finally feel the weight
(Cast Iron)
Cast iron face, another idealist gone to waste

Wait until you die

Lyrics:
You’re talking shit
I know a cunt when I see one
A mouth breather who started too long at the sun
You think you’ve got the answer to everything
But it’s only you you’re fooling

Fuck you

Your stupid views that you push through your sweaty fingertips
“About as useless as fucking bull with tits”
“You’re like a blind guy at a sign language convention
Asking for help with directions”

You’ve got all the freedom you want
But where the fuck’s your responsibility?

You really take the cake when it comes to self-adulation

Oi, listen up cunts
Two-step
Two-step

You’re wasting time
It’s like you’re designed to disturb my state of mind
It’s like your knowledge is a gold mind
But it’s just an excuse to perpetuate the
Pantomime that you learned on the grapevine

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

That horrible feeling the solar plexus
Is your own doing
Even a false prophet has values
So what the fuck does that make you?

What does that make you?

GOOD. LUCK. If you don’t headband you’ve got a plank for a neck. Come see us live on June 1st.

You bring me to the precipice and force my eyes down
Soft sound
Trajectory is hard ground
A hand on my shoulder weighted calmly but intentions are never what they fucking seem
Swear I was only 14, thinking not for me but for the little cunt that was festering inside me
I’d say I was a victim but it takes two to decide on the meeting place and the time

Oh well, oh well, oh well
Oh hell, oh hell, oh hell
Suppressing your face, keep your distance please
They’re reemerging, the reasons and the complications

I thought I left you far behind, but it turns out you’re in my emerald state of mind
Rendered subservient to the parameters you’ve placed on my behaviour
Looking for redemption lurking in the darkest corners of my failed interests
Wearing abrasive masks to remove dead skin, self-flagellation on the waste within

Oh well, oh well, oh well
Oh hell, oh hell, oh hell
White light, white light, just be a little more blinding
Force a corrective vision and remove the refracted agony

I
Won’t
Ever form the truest version of myself, and it’s all because of you
I tread atop the shell of a potential self, one without a need for what you took from me
And now I roam the world in search of it

And now I roam the world in search of it
And now I roam the world in search of it

I’m not the one to place a bet
But I’ll put a buck down on the fact you fucking love this
You’re not real, just a filthy apparition
Manifesting from the guilt I hold too deep

You emerge from the guilt I confined within these cells
I’d kill you, but I’d have to start with myself

I thought I left you far behind, but it turns out you’re in my emerald state of mind

You bring me to the precipice and force my eyes down soft sound trajectory is hard ground
A hand on my shoulder weighted calmly but intentions are never what they fucking seem

Lyrics:
Like ink in your skin
A lasting stain from history
Permanently imprinted between my DNA

Like ink in your skin

Permanently imprinted between my DNA
Like ink in your skin
A self-inflicted exhibition of memory
A promise to self
To obfuscate the crushing weight

We forget the pain but the meaning remains, only removed as a last resort
To leave behind scars, a reminiscence of what we are when we’re torn from what we fought for
Forever entwined in my being, something worth living with
And though the black fades to emerald, the meaning refuses to decay

For better or worse, an eternal reminder
I’ve come to understand, through all I live, I’ll do it with you

Cause me pain, distort my name, invigorate, or elevate

Whatever I am, I am in your wake
You’re a part of me, we’re one and the same

Two beams of light, become one ray
To scorch my earth or light my way
In night or day, in pleasure or pain
I'm fused with you, my emerald state

Like ink in your skin
A lasting stain from history
Like ink in your skin
A self-inflicted exhibition of memory

A promise to self to
Cause me pain, distort my name, invigorate, or elevate
Two beams of light, become one ray

I'm fused with you
My emerald state

Lyrics
You want the world to see you as a person of value
Irreplaceable, impeccable, a servant of virtue
Focus on issues like maintaining your jawline
But uphold your favourite mantra 'out of sight, out of mind'
A superficial display of tone, and under weight you just rely on compressing your bones
So full of words full of contribution, but now I see you're never really giving solutions

Hopelessly in love with the idea of yourself
An intellectual poor man in world of wealth

You're convinced you're a bird of prey
A beast in a kingdom of animals gone stray
Sold on the idea you're ahead of the curve but what you've got you don't deserve

Pseudo panther
Pseudo panther

It's time to take a closer look in the mirror, but first you gotta take off the mask
Peeling off the layers of dead skin, you've used to provide impressions of good remark
Your life is like a c-grade sit com but the laugh tracks were taken out a while ago
And now we're all just standing in silence
So now it's just a depressing display of gross incompetence
You weaselled in, you liar
Always compromising, unsurprising, traumatising
Self-inflicted bastardising of your own imagery
What is there left I could possibly say except your place within the world is shrinking day by day

Day by day

I don't want it anymore, just fucking have it back
Pseudo panther, I don't want it any more.

Lyrics
I cower in the corpse of a memory we murdered
Hiding under sheets of skin
A heart encased in its own hell
That's still beating for you, but the rhythm is

Different

Tears to hydrate a rotten flower
The salt stunting possible growth of new life
Press the petals in one of your books and
Crush it with your passion for new insight
A secret kept, a reality withheld
The proof of fire disappears before closed eyes
Though smoke is all one smells

The idea of temporary defeated
As you use my nerves as a blanket for your fires
Permanently disfigured
Use the final spark
Ignite the film spilling from the reel

Despite it being your hand
It's still self mutilation
I still can't push the blame away
I'm so preoccupied with its weight

Solar plexus, kill yourself inside me
I'll display your husk as a monument of relief
Position yourself as a warning to others
A tattered flag to wave
No escape

A tattered flag, demise inflicted

Brighten your world with the embers of my efforts
Colour in your skies with the warmth I provide
Fulfilling the purpose you now have for me
You're now free to leave, yet I remain confined

Tears to hydrate a rotten flower
The salt forever stunting the growth of new life
Press the petals in one of your books and
Crush it with your passion for new insight
A secret kept, a reality withheld
The proof of fire disappears before closed eyes
Though smoke is all one smells

Can you keep up?

LYRICS

You tell me there’s no other reason
That our lives are coming to a screeching halt
They’re essentially committing treason, you say
This whole problem is their fault

Putting brothers against one another and
Breaking down the family bond
You’ve given us instructions on how to ostracise each other

How else is the world gonna cannibalise itself?

You tell me I’m supposed to fight this guy
Because apparently we don’t see eye to eye?
That proliferation of hate instigation is getting really old
You’ll jump on anything you can, race, gender, or that we’re from different lands
It’s a sick sick modus operandi
Pulling at the threads just 'cause you fucking can

Sick, sick, sick

By the end of your great campaign there won’t be friends, just allies and enemies.
You’re not a source of knowledge you just pretend to be
I refuse to hate my friends or wish for them to wither and die
A world based on cliques and sides is nothing more than a slow-burn suicide

Slow-burn suicide

Your repulsion is so unfounded, yet you let it dictate your behaviour
Walking around, nose turned up, looking down at all the ones who made a different choice
He’s not, so what, what’s your fucking point?
When did you care this much about anyone?
So proud like you created the sky and the clouds, but you’re just a fucking clown

So much knowledge, so full of shit
Punish the stupid; self-inflicted
I won’t run around cutting ties to surround myself with prejudice
I tried to be civil with you but there’s not much more I can do for you

Do you have rocks in your head?
Just string a sentence together
You can’t talk with snorts and grunts
But there’s a place for you in the sty if you want

Refuse the divide
Don’t endorse the global divorce
Cut that shit, let it go
Their decision is not yours

Go exile what you abhor
Total war is at your door

LYRICS

So petrified about the so-called threat to your life
Coming from the people you’ve been told to spite
You yearn for your own god’s name to be sung
But recoil in disgust when it’s spoken in another tongue

Petrified
Ignorant

How bloody hard is it to read
Just to expand your own understanding?
Just a little a compassion and maybe someday they won’t feel so afraid
You’re such a crusader telling people who don’t look like you they’re a space invader
But isn’t it so bizarre that you don’t recognise that you are the violator?

Claim to love thy neighbour but you bare your teeth
Advocate for cleansing when you’re the disease
It’s disgusting how you choose your words
So damn righteous but hell’s torment is what you deserve

You are the danger
You are the danger

Decry, condemn
Crucify, repeat, learning nothing

It’s about damn time you swallowed the knife,
Feel the sting of the blade as you curl up in shame
You keep a watchful eye on those you despise,
But you’re kept so blind by views you’ve let metastasise

LYRICS

A horrid shadow looms above your pounding head
As you hear the voice in the sky say it’s time for bed
The darkness truly settles on a withering frame
And tears begin to roll down the emaciated face
Bones like chalk, rattle when you talk
But just be thankful you still have a voice

You were led into the cage but you can break out
So many braver before you, so it’s your turn now
In other realms they’ve been ready to die for a cause
So if you’re ready to opine then sharpen your claws

Somewhere along the way the tables turned
All the progress we made didn’t reflect what we deserved
Get that tail out from between your legs
You’ve got teeth and nails, not the kind who begs

It’s pointless to adopt a mephistophelean way
You’ll throw away everything and accept an empty fate
Your life isn’t over yet, it just looks like that today
So summon your bravery, and reject your place in the grave.

Don’t be scared, bite the hand, be angry.
Pen or sword, it’s your choice, be angry.

LYRICS

Hysterical

As you plot another article
Like a mass lobotomy delivered through the pupils with ease
Don’t you fret, this shit is what you get
When a blind eye is turned to what really is your worst concern
Did you hear about that riot today? Or was that overshadowed by some dickhead’s birthday?
You’ve got this weird idea that you’re so well informed, but your knowledge only reaches the weather report

We’ve had enough

What if I told you there was so much more going on?
Stories of actual value, so phenomenal
Newspapers are good for wiping your own ass. They’re used to having shit put on them
It’s time for your nightly routine, sit in your couch and stare at pretty colours on the screen
Call me an asshole but someone has to wake you up, it’s hypnosis and they’ve got you stuck

I’m not asking you to get a degree, just spend more than 2 minutes on a single theme
Stand in a group with a pitchfork and flame because the anchorman told you who’s to blame

Bulletins are only paper thin, provoking your worst feelings
The hatred’s appealing
What better way to incite your ire and rage
When it’s fucking plastered on the front page

Your hate is their profit
Drink from their cup of deception

Learn

Don’t let them infiltrate
Otherwise your brain will disintegrate

LYRICS:
Been a while since Mary Lee, but you’re stuck in 1883
R-e-s-p-e-c-t, you still haven’t asked what the fuck it means yet

The way that you look ‘em up and down like products up for sale
Is enough to elicit tears of disgust from the mothers and daughters you failed
20 bucks says you’re a piece of shit who spends too much time on RedTube.
I’ll double down and bet you haven’t found a girl that really meant to say yes when she said no

No no no no no no no

Why would you think that you are entitled to them?
No one gave you the right
It’s an easy thing, keeping your hands to yourself
But it’s so hard for you
Go fix your attitude
You’re a filthy human

Baffles me that nowadays we still normalise objectification
An archaic attitude that destroys and divides based on ego and pride
R-e-s-p-e-c-t, go tell your Mum you don’t know what I means
I hope she washes out your mouth with soap,
Or leaves the fucking bar in and lets you choke

You say that you’re not afraid to insult/intimidate
You say that you can’t help it
Wasting your time using words only to dehumanise
Try this one on for size
You are a coward and you’re wrapped in bad pick-up lines
Exercising power over those you terrify
You’re as bad as they come, dense and egotistical
You’ll get what’s coming to you

I hope they rip your head off

I can’t speak for the ones you vex
But I hold this issue close to my chest
They are able to defend themselves
But if push comes to shove I’ll drag you down to hell myself
You need to get up to speed, but I doubt it’s just education you need
It’s in your bones, your heart of stone
It’s better you spend your life alone

I can’t speak for the ones you vex
But I hold this issue close to my chest
They are able to defend themselves
But if push comes to shove I’ll drag you down to hell myself
You need to get up to speed, but I doubt it’s just education you need
It’s in your bones, your heart of stone
It’s maybe better that you spend your life all alone

You’re alone
Stay alone
Die alone

Die alone

Sugar Spine | Mirror Talk (Official Lyric Video)

Sugar Spine 2022-04-06 | Sugar Spine's latest single, Mirror Talk, is available now on all streaming platforms.

Hot off the heels of the release of “Gutter Paint”, the hot-headed single from metallic hardcore project Sugar Spine, something just as angry is raging into the metal world. “Mirror Talk”, the title track off Sugar Spine’s upcoming debut EP, is a bad-attitude, bluff-calling blast of 2-steps and thrashy riffs that possesses an intimidating force of energy. It’s the shortest track on the EP, but it’s densely packed with fury, not wasting a moment to convey the message within.

The debut EP, ‘Mirror Talk’, will be released on the 22nd of April. Don't miss it.

Sugar Spine | Gutter Paint (Official Visualiser)

Sugar Spine 2022-02-24 | Gutter Paint, the heavy and furious single from Sugar Spine, is available now on all streaming platforms.

The Sydney-based metallic hardcore project is starting the new year with something of great impact. Gutter Paint, the first single from the upcoming debut EP ‘Mirror Talk’ has been unleashed like a rabid dog with a bone to pick.
Gutter Paint is a war cry by Sugar Spine, declaring that people turn around and listen up. Decrying nepotism and corruption in the political sphere, “Gutter Paint” goes for the jugular, and keeps going. An attitude-filled mix of blistering kicks, breakdowns and a good dose of hardcore is infused to show a huge display of vexation at those who live above the law. By the time the track comes to a finish, the intentions of Sugar Spine are easily understood.

Sugar Spine | Go Outside

Sugar Spine 2021-09-30 | 'Go Outside', the debut single from Sugar Spine, is unrelenting and fierce in its commentary on modern communication. It points the finger directly at those who use social media to abuse, confuse, harass, insult and terrorise others.

If you feel like negativity and hatred has metastasised on social platforms, you're not wrong, and you're not alone.

If you're someone who likes to talk shit online, and you truly think you're making a difference, then this song is for you. It's even communicated to you in a way you'll find familiar.
