about

Give Them L shines in her second outing on Some Controlled Chaos with the seething and torrential Suffering.

"As a former emo teen of the mid 2000s I decided to take a song called Suffering in a different direction to where I would have gone before. Suffering is from the perspective of a woman supporting her friend. She says the right things, that she's there for them, empathizes with them. But something is not quite right and we hear that in the music. Dark whispers. Resentment is building. This song stretched my full belt vocal range from the low notes in the verse right up into the explosion of the last chorus. Can't you see she's suffering too?"

Suffering takes the listener through lyrical and musical shades of light and dark before embodying the very essence of the album's title, as it slides inexorably towards a chaotic yet satisfyingly controlled ending.

lyrics

Don't you see now?

You say you're losing
You tell me you want out
That it's confusing
You're drowning in self doubt

I hold your hand and
Give you my shoulder to cry on
I follow your plan
I can be someone you rely on

Don't you see that I'm here
There's no need for your fear
Don't you see that I'm here for you
Don't you see that I'm here
That I won't disappear
Don't you see that I'm here
I'm right here

How do we live in this world that only tears us down?
Makes us hold back our fears until no one's around
Anxiety's rising, it's buzzing through our heads
I look to our future and swallow my dread

No it's not just you
We're all suffering too

Don't you see now?

I miss your smile
The way it lit up your eyes
Your carefree style
Before your humour died

Why can't I make you see
You're not alone
You have me
Don't you see that I'm here for you
Why can't I get it through
There's a future for you
Why can't I make you see
You have me

Don't you see that I'm here
That I won't disappear
Don't you see that I'm here
I'm right here

How do we live in this world that only tears us down?
Makes us hold back our fears until no one's around
Anxiety's rising, it's buzzing through our heads
I look to our future and swallow my dread

How can we feel we're safe when children go hungry
And all our leaders hide from responsibility
The world is feeling dark, there's no end in sight
I feel so overwhelmed trying to make things right

But I'm here for you and I'll use all of my power
To make you feel less alone, just let me in your tower
I know that you need me and I need you too
I know you're suffering
Can't you see I'm suffering too
