Story Behind the Song
Frightened delves into once self and the evils hidden therein. Being haunted be the demons of past, present and future. Nicely layered guitars and strong lyrical content accompanied by a viciously pulsing rhythm section makes for Frightened to make everyones Christmas List.
Frightened was written in about 20 minutes after being brought to the table by S. Tutorow who had written the structure earlier. Maybe an hour.
Frightened was recorded live at Karma Studios by Michael Rich. It was recorded on the first take with vocals being sung later in the booth. We tracked 31 songs in 2 days at Karma, including vocals done seperately later. No one has ever attempted such a recording technic said Michael, but he was up for the challenge.
I wrote the lyrics to Frightened on a staircase balconey at the motel in L.A. on the second day of recording before we left to the studio. We had to track that song that day and words were never written, I just on the flyed them during rehearsals. Song was only a month and a half old at the time.
Lyrics
It's so cold here, and it's lonely,
well your not here alone.
Can't you feel it, it's a burning,
and it's freezing when near.
Can't you hear me, don't you listen,
there is death in the air.
Evil's lurking, and it's yearning,
and it's lingered for years.
There's a figure, in the distance,
and it's drawing me near.
I'm so frightened, in this room here,
and I'm not all alone.
Don't you feel it, there's this breathing,
and it sheers down my neck.
Ovulation, desecration,
as it unfoils you.
There's a silence, and it lives with me,
in a deep numbing fear.
Don't you hear me, won't you listen,
There is evil quite near.
I'm so frightened, of what lingers,
in the depths of my mirror.
It awaits me, every evening,
and it's drawing me nearer.
I'm frightened.
I'm frightened.
I'm frightened.
