Story Behind The Song
writing it in the studio was a tense experience at times, trying to tap in to those dark fears and make them seem right! Just! Good, even, u might say!!
Roxy, the female lead found it difficult to muster up the feelings needed but succeeded admirably, and Myself & Steve nearly fell out over creative differences over beats of all things, but Damian intervened brilliantly.
Hours in a studio messes with your mind!!
Well, think thats all I have to say for now on this song,
we are so happy with it, although personally think we may have to do a re-take for the 3rd spoken verse line at some point soon, but otherwise V.Happy!! Lol
Hope anyone who listens and likes what they hear, will tell others and get the song out there.
Thanks for your time

Song Description
Digitalis - background behind it & what its about!!
The darkest song I have ever been involved in - DIGITALIS 2AM
but so satisfying creatively for myself and my fellow songwriters on it.
its basically a Revenge Fantasy, that if u r of sound mind will make u feel a little uneasy
as you feel the enpowerment the female lead has, as she administers out punishment to a
man who has done her wrong.
Needs to be played LOUD and there is a lot going on, so certainly repeated listens to let it sink in.
in the intro part, we have an insight into her mind, a schizo moment u might say, where the more devilish part of her wins the case for revenge , and takes over as she then gets her guys out with her, to help her punish the guy who wronged her.
who knows how bad this guy was to her?? does that make it right though??
Still, they go on an orgy of violence against him,
that i hope will scare u slightly, especially as it all sound so thrilling!!

Lyrics
DIGITALIS 2AM
I'm a girl with something you want.
Did you think once you'd had me you could throw me away
Like a flower that withers and dies once it's picked
You think I'd accept that fate
You think I'm soooo sweet.
Well your best friend thinks so too.
Not that you'll be friends any more once we're through with you
Because I'm deadly like foxglove
And tonight I'm going to make you my puppet
Strung out on a wire at 2AM
And tomorrow you won't want to get out of bed
You never opened your heart to me
Maybe pain will reveal what love never could
I'll be sweetness while pouring salt on your wounds.
Pick a flower's petals one by one.
They make such a sweet smell when you crush them
You'll have no more nectar left when my new drones are through with you
Because I'm deadly like foxglove
And tonight I'm going to make you my puppet
Strung out on a wire at 2AM
And tomorrow you won't want to get out of bed
luh luh luh luh
You bash their head you bash their head
you kill their living soul. x2
Things get a little strange at this time
You think the neighbours will hear your screams?
At worst they'll have a few strange dreams,
That they'll push to the back of their mind
Because suburbia's built on liars
Darkness behind a neat bed of flowers
And tomorow we'll smile like nothing's happened
But tonight I'm in charge here
And I want to see your eyes get wider
I want to see your eyes get wider
As I twist the knife you'll beg me to accept your apology
Because I'm deadly like foxglove
And tonight I'm going to make you my puppet
Strung out on a wire at 2AM
I'll make you dance 'till you can hardly breathe
Because I'm deadly like foxglove
And tonight I'm going to make you my puppet
Strung out on a wire at 2AM
And tomorrow you won't want to get out of bed
Tomorrow you'll really wish you were dead
And tomorrow you'll know not to mess with me ever again!
