about

With three singles under his belt since his revitalisation, Derek Ellard returns with ‘Heavy metals’ an alternative indie lament that leads him further down an experimental path.

Dealing with the, often unscrutinized, after-effects of psychotropic medication. A modern grief, a loss of personality but, evidently, a new normal for many. ‘Heavy metals’ erupts with frustration at 2.21, marking a more exploratory and alternative side of Dereks creative process.

lyrics

shortness of breath,
a controlled room,
stretching my bones,
now made from coal,
heavy metals hold, too much, ten fold

Its a heavy hit,
its a drastic shift
I can see the dark clouds forming now
its a heavy hit, fail to catch your breath
heavy metals hold, you can watch me let go.

Like we
like we used to
like we used to
stolen aptitude
I miss that you
