//LYRICS//
Candlesticks in the dark
Visions of bodies being burned
The hook gon be
What it is the hands off
The retribution for what you took from the man got
Blood on the rust
God bless the red
Earth the dead man
Walks the tongue bridge abridged
The time space
The boot the concrete
The project undone they jukin
Made you look
You can't see it the mob built the walls the streets it bleeds sweet
The syrup the bees love it
The coming on a swarm and they raining on your college ass disco
Get your
Collar turnt up in your freshest attire
Get your bitch womb ready cause this baby gon be fire
This not a dream it's a memory
Mammary glands heavy
And the sky blacked out already
Stop screaming
The flames ain't shit to a demon
Say the name
Candlesticks in the dark
Visions of bodies being burned
The hook gon be
The last thing she remember
The fast lane in December
Often drift when she drive
College girl looking for the love
Learned about in a book but she always kept the gloves on
So when the skin touch
Shit head rush
Red blush lipstick she just crush a lot
But every Pun pales in comparison
A joke to a jester she inundated with dick
Thick
And becoming conservative in her fucking
And nervous that she would rush in
But murder wasn't discussed
And the further she learned to trust him
The merger of love and lust
And she serving it all up just 'cause he hold her when he would bust until
9 months later with a stomach full of devil baby
She start to think it's time to pump the breaks
But that train left the station with the Great Migration
Bloody tracks left right by the drain
Say the name
Candlesticks in the dark
Visions of bodies being burned
The hook gon be the coldest pimp slap
Coat rack for man skin
Let it air dry
Swiss cheesed a brother already half dead
Brain leaking out a hole in his forehead
Lobotomies like pills
Get em for cheap
The party line crack kills
They trying to se
But this one more a hair line fracture
Leave the face painted
A mask for the hereafter
After the smoke clears and the highs come down
And the halogen hallucinations don't make a sound
Just a bunch of scared junkies not making the call
And a Guernica in blood on the wall
Say the name
Candlesticks in the dark
Visions of bodies being burned

Fun fact: The scrolling text and final font that the words "Clipping" are in at the very end are the same used in the 1992 horror film "Candyman", of which the lyrics of this song are based on.

[@hey8985]

that was probably intentional, and if so, that’s a nice touch :)

[@hifurcatfood]

@@hey8985 of course its intentional

[@bowietwombly5951]

“A Guernica in blood across the wall” is easily one of the most incredible lines I’ve ever heard. For referencing a painting that is already so visceral and brutal, he manages to paint a picture succinctly that is even more horrific and impactful without ever becoming so over the top that it lessens the impact.

[@blurredlights5235]

5 i agree. and to add, waking up after you get slumped on your intoxicant of choice in a den with a bunch of other junkies, to find 25 feet wide and 11 feet high of blood. good lord. so raw.

[@Claire.blain.]

THIS SONG GOT NO BUSINESS GOING THIS HARD GOD DAMN

[@stephensmith7327]

This is what I wanted when Eminem made a album called Music To Be Murdered By

[@mattrup]

Last third hits like a hammer.

[@rodanandme]

i just love that he talks about the hook as a murder weapon as the hook of the song, amazing

[@Professional_Rookie]

You know, if Run The Jewels ever did a collab with Clipping. Well, i think that would sound pretty swell.

[@JaybayJay]

The Space time continuum will self implode, explode, reload and go in to turbo mode as my body turns into Rhyme and embrace the Music Sign..

[@treefingers6572]

The last minute of this track is like nothing I've ever heard before in my life, let alone in a hip hop/rap track. It's an instrumental that would make Swans blush a little. I mention Swans because they're the only other band I can think of right now that would come up with an instrumental like that: dense, dynamic, complex, mostly acoustic (at least from the sound of it)

[@RemixedVoice]

@A A Clipping are definitely influenced by NIN !

[@matthewniederberger9367]

NIN deff came to mind first time I heard the ending

[@DDub04]

In that vein, is this Post-Hip-Hop/Post-Rap?

[@lucasgoncalves7774]

@A A I would mention Closer but I guess Eraser would be a good shout too.

[@SNDxp]

@@lucasgoncalves7774 its basically the same idea as the end of piggy, insane drums come in as an overdub and dominate the mix. first thing i thought of too. definitely some downward spiral inspiration in the outro

[@PesterFester1966]

2020's Hip-Hop version of NIN... Can't wait for this record.

[@manishg3216]

exactly what i thought...the groove is very NIN

I recommend listening to the full album. First There existed an addiction to blood because that’s the part 1 Valentine

[@trustindean5164]

Is....is this song about Candyman? Mentions the killer uses a hook and has an interplay of lust and murder with women Verse about a swarm of bees being summoned title is "say the name"

[@mayanksaharan9951]

Yeah definitely, cuz the font of 'clipping' in the end is the exact same font for the candyman film

[@trustindean5164]

@@mayanksaharan9951 hell yeah! Makes sense since Candyman is like one of if not the single most famous black horror movies. I can imagine it'd be super influential on this.

[@Shiresome]

Trustin Dean This is definitely about Candyman, and I’m pretty sure this entire album is going to be about folklore/monsters. Like how they had one before that was based around pop culture “monsters,” like Godzilla and Dracula

[@leggogal1]

On their Twitter, they said this is more like a continuation. Clipping originally made 2 hours worth of songs but was advised to break it up into parts. So TEAATB and VOBBB were supposed to be released together.

the stuff has been recorded at the same time as the Addiction, so consider this album brethren to the recent album.

Perfect song to match 2020, i would've loved to listen to it back then, cuz it just matches the uneasy atmosphere and it would really give me chills, and this sonv being the song to match the year. Would make it a better year for sure. Giving all unpleasant vibes

[@callusklaus2413]

This song in many ways is platonic clipping. The sound oozes violence, I understand the lyrics like that rush when you have a close call on the road. Fire dude.

[@StringierHail56]

I pray that my body is a bloody mess by the end of this album

[@ladyvader139]

I'm obsessed with this song.

[@Agnes.Nutter]

Trying to figure out what exactly we're looking at - is it a digital projector throwing the words onto a mirror, and the camera is filming the mirror? It's a very cool effect, in any case!!

[@mastersoftoday]

i think it's projected onto a mirror but also there seems to be another sheet of glass in front of the camera, which the words get reflected onto? that would be my guess

[@Agnes.Nutter]

@@mastersoftoday I think it might also be consistent with how it would look when the reflection of the words hits the glass of the camera lens? I'm definitely less sure about that though; you may be right!

[@thomcooper9514]

Looks to me like the words are cut outs being backlit.

[@Agnes.Nutter]

​@@thomcooper9514 That was my first thought, but if you pause on a word that's in focus, you can see dust and scratches from the surface the light is shining onto. It also stays in the same place between some words - use , and . to page between frames, and look at the transition between "devil" and "baby" at 1:44. :)

[@Agnes.Nutter]

@@mastersoftoday You're definitely right - look at "cheesed" at 2:11 in slow motion, and there's clearly some sort of flexible plastic being waved around in front of the camera!
