about

Deranged is an embodiment of our anger toward the treatment of women not only in the music industry, but day to day life. Us girls, are NOT a novelty, trend OR object, and we’re often branded as ‘psychos’ or ‘angry feminists’, so I guess we’re playing on the word ‘Deranged’ in that sense.

We had a lot of shit from people about being all women in a male dominated environment, people essentialising us and reducing our success down to our gender…’they only get gigs cos they’re girls’ or some shit. When you’re in a ‘girl band’ you want so badly just to be labelled as a ‘band’ like everybody else because music should not be gender restrictive, but you also want to shout it out to the world, that you’re you know, a girl, in a band.

We also want people to become empowered when they hear the lyrics and the thrashy riffs, we tried to write it so it belonged in an area that made you angry but in a motivational and positively empowering way, you know? There’s a grey area somewhere there.

All in all, it’s a big fuck you to anyone who told us we couldn’t do this, because we damn well are, and so can you.

lyrics

Verse 1

Hello you, I hear you through the walls
Of a time, you left on pause
You're scared of your own words,
Threatened by your worth
It's time you own the s*** you sprout,
'Cos I'm so bored it hurts

Verse 2

Look at you, you're such a f****** tool
I love that you, speak ill of us all
Your agenda it will fail,
Karma will prevail
Your precious little ego it got broken by some girls

Chorus

As girls we mean no harm
Or cause discomfort or alarm
Except we do, we do
'Cos we're in so much pain
It's f****** greedy, it's Deranged

Verse 3

You should know, I hear the words you say
But I won't waste my time, and my days
To show you how to be, happy for me
You're built on negativity
It must be hard to see

Verse 4

Look at you, you're such a f****** tool
I love that you, speak ill of us all
Your agenda it will fail,
Karma will prevail
Your precious little ego it got broken by some girls

Chorus

As girls we mean no harm
Or cause discomfort or alarm
Except we do, we do
'Cos we're in so much pain
It's f****** greedy, it's Deranged

Bridge

It's Deranged, inside your brain
'cos as girls, we're not supposed to mean no harm
But I'll tell ya we do
We do, we mean no harm
When I swear we do
