QUADECA - DUSTCUTTER

Here is the official music video for my strange soul-crushing banger "Dustcutter". I worked extensively with an ASL instructor, putting together an interpretation of the lyrics in sign language to perform in this video. The translations are not exact: artistic/poetic liberties were taken, so I hope I did not look too much like an idiot and I hope my expression & concept came across respectfully. Thanks for watching!

lyrics:
Close your eyes
Please don’t leave me out in the cold
Leave me out to dry
Please don’t leave me out in the middle of the night
Shake, shake, shaking to my core
I dont wanna see you any time
in the future uh
Do shit just like we use to uh
Walk through the light, watch my life
And all it’s minutiae uh
Who had a clue?
Wasnt me
Wasn’t you
Wasn’t he
Wasn’t she
Wasn’t them
Wasnt true
Everybody knew,
Everybody but you
Everybody knew
Everybody but you
Everybody knew,
Everybody but you
Everybody knew
Everybody but you
Who?
Who hid the veins and changed their hue
Who compromised the perfect view?
You oxidized the perfect blue
Dont let it out, Dont let it out
Dont say the words
Dont write them down
It gave you life and it stains your bed casings
Crumpled tissues on stacks of red pages
Close,
Close your eyes
Please dont leave me out in the cold
Leave me out to dry
Please dont leave me out in the middle of the night
Shake shake shaking to my core
I dont wanna see you any time in the future uh
Do shit just like we use to uh
Walk through the light
Watch my life
all it’s minutiae uh
Who had a clue
Wasnt me
Wasn’t you
Wasn’t he
Wasn’t she
Wasn’t them
Wasnt true
Everybody knew,

my mother is deaf so I love showing her anything that includes ASL, so simple but makes such an impact ❤

[@leeb5112]

i learned ASL in high school and even though a lot of it didn’t stick with me it gave me such an appreciation for it and the community. we had a project where we translated a song to ASL and memories of that made this music video really resonate with me. such a beautiful expressive language not enough ppl acknowledge and i’m glad he put in the work to do it justice here, and i hope your mom liked it! should definitely be more normalized as an language option in schools bc even if the language itself doesn’t stick with you it broadens your perspective so much and i was lucky enough to have a teacher who really cared.

sorry to anyone who sees this as this comment includes a story of mine but back in july i ended one of my worst relationships, i got ptsd from the horrible things she did to end the relationship, i felt scared and fragile, i felt betrayed by a girl i loved, n she never understood her actions, she ruined what could have been her best life, but id like to thank u quadeca, this song is amazing, it perfectly describes how i felt, it captures the fragileness i felt, it feels like someone knew how i felt, thank u ben.

[@DHawkBeats]

Always coming with incredible concepts to back the music. I only first heard this last week from the vinyls, but this song is already making me feel like that scene from Ratatouille where the food unlocks the critics happy childhood memories. It’s so oddly nostalgic even after the first listen, Quadeca’s just got that magic touch I guess
