about

"Hush" is the latest single from Fatigue, the darkwave/dark synth-pop project from New England producer/performer Lilz Martin. (Also known by her DJ moniker of Sawtooth) Like much of her previous Fatigue material, the lyrical content is heavily inspired by her own trials and tribulations with mental health, with "Hush" being no exception. The song follows an internal struggle many have had with one's internal monologue, and the tendency to second guess one's self before one is even able to move forward. It's a track full of executive dysfunction, anxiousness, and disquietude against a sparse, shuffling, minimalist club beat that's a marked departure from Fatigue's usual fare of lushly orchestrated textures and thick walls of synths.

lyrics

Born out of struggle
Yet so contemptible
Portioning out
Your deepest fears

Hesitation is doubled
So irrepressible
It'll only get worse
From here

And it comes in waves
Much harsher than before
And it comes in waves
Til you're the thing
That you abhor

Let yourself down
Let yourself down
You're gonna
Let yourself down
Let yourself down
You're gonna
Let yourself down
Let yourself down
You're gonna
Let yourself down
Again

Born to be broken
Disdain interminable
Such a piteous hovel
So unforgiveable

But maybe when you're older
Maybe when you're useless
Maybe when you're that much
Easier to ignore
We'll finally even
The score

And it comes in waves
More painful than before
And it comes in waves
What masochist
Could adore
You

Let yourself down
Let yourself down
You're gonna
Let yourself down
Let yourself down
You're gonna
Let yourself down
Let yourself down
You're gonna
Let yourself down
Again
Again

And it comes in waves
You can mark this on your grave
It comes in waves
So little left was worth to save

Let yourself down
Let yourself down
You're gonna
Let yourself down
Let yourself down
You're gonna
Let yourself down
Let yourself down
You're gonna
Let yourself down
Again

Been following these vox on/off since "Buried Again" and SF fit neatly with my current synthwave leanings. Perfectly dry pop songs with a little pathos, huge synths and some adorable DIY drum sounds. Love it. x0riente
