This provocative music video featuring sexy male vampires and bondage was the first to be taken off of YouTube and led to our cancellation there. We wrote the song PROJECTION after a really frustrating time trying to explain something to someone. That what they were seeing was not the truth of a situation. They could not be convinced that their version of events was wrong even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
We never were able to convince them of the truth and they are still mad and upset over absolutely nothing but their own shadow projections. Insanity.
We tied it into larger themes of some other things we were experiencing. Like being called sex addicts for making this type of music and content and being censored on social media. The video is intentionally shocking and contains a blend of horror and eroticism and we toned it down for YouTube. If we made it today, it would probably be even more extreme. If you see beauty in it, you have done all the necessary shadow work to be able to see beauty in everything. If it horrifies you or you think it’s dirty, then you have lots more work to do.
PROJECTION LYRICS
you don’t know me
you never did
if you’re betting on the truth
then place your bid
put your money on the table
before you make the call
how high will you go
before you lose it all
you say you love truth
but you keep telling lies
putting words in my mouth
i’m not wearing a disguise
at least not this time
what you see is a projection
of your own dirty shame
this is just a reflection
of your own private pain
you see filth
but i see love
you see weapons
but i see doves
i see god’s proof
i see proof of god
and i have objections
over your projections
you don’t love me
you never did
you caused me great suffering
treated me like a little kid
you controlled me with money
you controlled me with lies
you withheld affection
you pretended to be wise
you say i’m bad
but i know i’m good
you think you’re polite
(when you’re being rude)
what you see is a projection
of your own dirty shame
this is just a reflection
of your own private pain
you see filth
but i see love
you see weapons
but i see doves
i see god
i see proof
and i have objections
over your projections
one-way conversation
endless frustration
shaky foundation
emotional castration
libido stagnation
sexual starvation
hopeless damnation
mental mutilation
is my confirmation
it’s all manipulation
if you loved me you wouldn’t hurt me
if you loved yourself you wouldn’t hurt me
if you knew how much i loved you
you wouldn’t hurt me
you wouldn’t mistreat me
you treat total fucking strangers
better than me
what you see is a projection
of your own dirty shame
this is just a reflection
of your own private pain
yeah i’m filthy
naked and sore
loving you became
such a bore
boner killing bitches
get off the dancefloor
get off my dancefloor
i just wanna dance
you see filth but i see love
i just wanna dance
you see weapons but i see doves
i just wanna dance
i see god’s proof
i see doves
i just wanna dance
i see love
