about

‘Glitter’ is a song that reflects our story as a band, particularly when we started as young, teenage girls in a male dominated environment. Growing up in the music industry and working with producers, potential managers, sound engineers and other bands exposed us to misogyny we didn’t know existed yet – we were constantly underestimated, dismissed and mocked by men that were often twice our age. The lyrics in the pre-chorus are a response to one professional we worked with who announced to a colleague he wasn’t “invested in us anyway”, as though we weren’t there. Even at a young age, we put no stock in anyone else’s opinions and continued exactly as we were, despite many people trying to mould and browbeat us into being something else – that is what the lyrics to ‘Glitter’ are about. We hope that the message of this song gives young, non-male artists the confidence to stand up for themselves and go after the things they want.

lyrics

I've got vision that you can't see
I've got 10,000 Volts inside of me
I'm a big, bright star you can't t-t-touch me
Unless you brought your dancing feet

I am the flower, you are the frost
And you will not bite my head off
Sand in your eyes is all that you want
It is enough for you but for me it is not

PRE CHORUS
Invest in me, or don't, baby
It doesn't really matter anyway
Trust in us, we don't need luck
Just don't get in my way

CHORUS
My dreams ain't as wild as they seem
It's crystal clear to me, yeah
Glitter don't wash out easy, hey hey hey (x2)

I've got vision that you can't see
I've got diamonds bleeding out of me
I know who you are, you don't have to love me
Just don't tread, tread, tread on my feet
