Me Against the World

about

Me Against the World is the first single off the new ep entitled Use Once & Destroy by goth punk band Rx27. It kicks right off with a lonely guitar crying out like an ex lover begging for a second chance. Then the slow burn and haunting voice of female vocalist Maxine Marti answers the siren call of sorrow. Suddenly, boom it's off to the races on a rollercoaster of gothcore death rock. The production is big and in your face courtesy of producer Billy Bio of Biohazard fame. Thad Coleman punches you in the chest with his bass as drummer Mike Benigno follows suit. As guitarist Nick Demopoulos lays the multi tracked guitar parts orchestrating chaos and disorder. The last 2 years have been hellish in the world of the male vocalist Joie Blaney as he spits the lyrics out with nihilistic sarcasm “Hey it’s been a while Met the new messiah City is in flames City is on fire”. Seems like the great American loner has been alone too long. He is then joined by Maxine again echoing those sentiments in unison. The chemistry and nuances of both these singers voices brings out the bad meets evil in the delivery of lyrics. The lyrics penned by Blaney captures the raw deal of life. Finding out who you can trust and who had the knife in your back. The chorus is a call and response to disorder and lost hope. “Me against the World Hold me til its quite Me against the World Make it all go silent." The american dream is officially missing in action and no one cares according to this band. All your friends are dead or they stopped living. Now there are only followers because everyone seems lost or part of the evil empire of corporations. There is no love only likes and they are used as status or currency. It’s a sing along chorus that digs in your head and refuses to leave.You will hate to love it and never forget it. The odd are finally getting even in this story. It’s not a poor me pour me a drink song. It’s about still having faith and loyalty in a world that isn’t and probably never be again. It’s not a song for the victim, underdog or the misfit. It’s a song for the warrior soul that lives and dies for who they are and what they stand for. Life will beat you down. And you have two choices. Stay down or burn it down. The choices is yours. 

lyrics

Hey it’s been a while
Met the new messiah
City is in flames
City is on fire
Better call the doctor
Better call the preacher
Tell me go to hell
Tell me where to meet you

All my friends are dead
And I’m talking to their ghosts
Life gets pretty strange
When your hanging up your hope
Writings on the wall
No one cares at all
Make it out alive
Make it out the door


Me against the world
Hold me til I’m quiet
Me against the world
Make it all go silent

Love you til I don’t
Hate you but I won’t
Burn me at the stake
Sink or swim or float
Pushing up on me
Pulling out of you
Please let me explain
Why your so confused


Me against the world
Hold me til I’m quiet
Me against the world
Make it all go silent
Me against the world
Hold me til I’m quiet
Me Against the world
Make it all go silent

Bridge
Time moves so slow
When your out on your own
All alone
Voices calling my name
From above and below
It’s time to go

V3
Nothing left to lose
Strung out on the muse
Special kinda magic
Beats me black and blue
Love and sex and death
Leave me more or less
Leave me all alone
Leave me like the rest
Wish you could have seen
Nightmares turn to dreams
Do you really care
Please don’t lie to me
Ive died million times
In a thousand ways
That Never ending story
That never goes away

Me against the world
Hold me til I’m quiet
Me against the world
Make it all go silent
Me against the world
Hold me til I’m quiet
Me Against the world
Make it all go silent

Me against the world

Me against the world

Me against the world

Me against the world

Me against the world

Me against the world

Me against the world

Make it all go silent
