Sarron 07:29
lyrics
buy track
Sarron Young men die for their countries everyday in war. Some men died, for this country’s make believe play at war. Don’t die young boys. It’s not worth the sacrifice. Just run and hide. It’s not worth the sacrifice. Don’t forget all the young ones, who could not take the pain. It’s not by choice they had no voice. What does their dying gain? Don’t die young boys. It’s not worth the sacrifice. Just run and hide. It’s not worth the sacrifice. Spark up, light up the night. As we extinguish the flame with fumes. Spark up, light up the night. As we extinguished the flame with fumes.

Rooms 04:09

Room You’re sad I know, I can’t help, you won’t go. Your insides reek of depression. You’re mad I know. The things you throw. At me in desperation. You won’t go I won’t stay. At least not in that way. We’re done, we’re done, we are done. These empty rooms, remind me of. It’s bye for now. We’ll find a way somehow. You need some isolation. I’ll remember you. This sad shade of blue. We won’t have conversations. These empty rooms, remind me of. You. These empty rooms, remind me of…

Falter 06:33
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.

Let's Get Low 06:07
lyrics
buy track
Let’s Get Low All over again, playing games with my foolish heart. All over again, you play with the feelings in my fragile heart. The words they wither on your lips. You shouldn’t speak cos the letters they cut deep. Your whore’s perfume still clogs the air. I hate it cos it fucking lingers everywhere. All over again, playing games with my foolish heart. All over again, you play with the feelings in my fragile heart. You killed me stabbed my twice. Although it was I who held the knife. These ceramic walls are my last reprieve. Those cunning words no longer deceive. Control escape from the memory of you. From the memory of you, from the memory of you.

Lover No More 08:36
lyrics
buy track
My Lover no more You said that you’d never leave. As the clock struck three in the morning. But your callow ignorance is bliss. And I miss your scent upon the skin i’m in. Home. We keep blaming it on the drinks when we dance we fall in love, then the trance ends. We wake up in our respective beds with someone else. That’s how crooked we are. We don’t deserve love. I despise who I’ve become with you. You were a good time lover. Not a bad time friend. You were a good time lover. Not a bad time friend. We had some times and that was all. And in the end, it was nothing at all We’re the wrong people, doing bad things at the right time. Good folk don’t steal kisses as shame awaits. I still brought you home, I thought you were mine. But you never were, at least not when we’re dry. We’ve both missed the chance we had. And now you’re a poison in my veins. As I cut to bleed the memories from my wrists. And I cut to bleed you out. I despise who I’ve become with you. You were my good time lover. Not a bad time friend. You were my good time lover. Not a bad time friend. We had some times and that was all. And in the end it was nothing at all. A corrupt version of me. I wear many skins tailored to who I’m with. You could say I’m bespoke to you. You could say I’m bespoke to you.

Love's Great Loss 05:55
lyrics
buy track
Love’s Great Loss I’ve seen some great loves die right before my very eyes. I’m seen mediocre ones thrive and multiply. But who am I to judge your love? I’m not the one in love. But who am I to judge your love? I’m not the one you love. I’ve seen some great loves fail. Time and time again amongst my friends. I’ve seen mediocre ones bear childish fruit. Babies as plain as their parents. But who am I to judge your love? I’m not the one in love. But who am I to judge your love? I’m not the one you love. I’m not the one in love. I’m not the one you love.

about

"If you care too much about Singapore, first it’ll break your spirit, and finally it will break your heart." - Alfian Sa'at
This is my response to Alfian Sa'at's statement. Six songs that tell of heartbreak and despair in the tiny red dot.

This album is dedicated to all of you who still love.
Hell Low Trio is Anise, otochthon and Hell Low

about

Hell Low image

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
