lyrics
Falter
We falter. We can’t keep it together, we try.
This cheap nostalgia. I can’t keep this high alive.
I’m flat out broken, like this system no justice we’re blind.
Kill a man, get a ban. Talk too loud, freedom’s out.
It cuts like knife that’s blunt.
It hurts more because.
I love you Singapore.
Tensions high. The races are divided once more
into categories. Chinese privilege spoken in shadows fore sure.
We’ll never be equal. At least not till we see the wounds.
And realise that meritocracy is a rich man’s lie.
It cuts like knife that’s blunt.
It hurts more because.
I love you Singapore.
We falter. We can’t keep it together, we try.
This cheap nostalgia. I can’t keep this high alive.
I’m flat out broken, like this system no justice we’re blind.
Kill a man, get a ban. Talk too loud, freedom’s out.
It cuts like knife that’s blunt.
It hurts more because.
I love you Singapore.
Tensions high. The races are divided once more
into categories. Chinese privilege spoken in shadows fore sure.
We’ll never be equal. At least not till we see the wounds.
And realise that meritocracy is a rich man’s lie.
It cuts like knife that’s blunt.
It hurts more because.
I love you Singapore.

about
Hell Low Singapore, Singapore
Hell Low’s music is steeped in melancholia. Like words in a diary, his lyrics are a mirror to a soul drawn into despondency by the rituals of living and dying in Singapore. He sings with absolute honesty, flitting between anguish, despair and hope. His intricate guitar textures have a tendency to drift away on tangents unconstrained by the folk genre. ... more
