THE DEMON’S GRIN

(Adrian Mallinson)

If you have ever started a relationship with someone you perceived as having angelic qualities but then found out that the opposite was true, then you will know what these lyrics are about. All that glisters is not gold, gilded tombs do worms enfold.

Gotta break out

By Adrian Mallinson


A song about someone finding it increasingly difficult to cope with the pressures of modern, urban existence and the constant struggle to get by in an environment that often feels like a war zone. A need to escape, to break out and find a place to recover and take stock.

She arrived with an empty suitcase

By Adrian Mallinson


A young runaway decides to go back home. When she arrives she realises that she should never have left in the first place because all she needs is right there. She has had a rough time on her own and is feeling let down by what she thought would be a new adventure full of possibilities.

Kicking up the carpet of autumn leaves

By Adrian Mallinson


A song about infatuation or love at first sight. Obsession with someone with whom you have not even spoken but only seen. Walking trhough the autumn leaves alone and imagining being together with that person.

Dead To Me

By Melanie Thompson


These lyrics come from personal experiences. They brought back some really bad times. But they are merely shadows. I am a better person having outlasted them.

Curls (Girly Girl)

By Annabel Chima


This lyric specifically uplifts 'Exotical' women - women who are Mixed-race (with Black/African/Caribbean), women who have lived the 'Mixed-race Experience', or those who are constantly sought after/fetishized for 'looking Mixed'. As a DSE (Dark(er)-Skinned Exotical) myself, this Song Lyric is important to me because my phenotype and aesthetic have always been the centre of discussion/attention/speculation, especially in a sexual way. I want other Exoticals, whether Light-Skinned, Brown-Skinned, or Dark-Skinned, to feel understood and uplifted in a validating and empowering way. This Lyric focuses on 'curly hair' (type 2 waves, but more specifically type 3 curly hair) which is often a phenotype that gets fetishized by men and women of other races/phenotypes. This fetish is also seen through people trying to look like us e.g. wearing our natural curls as wigs and/or wand curling their own hair to mimic ours etc. The celebrity women I mention in this song are ICONS to me and are a great representation of 'Exotical' Beauty. I am solely giving them homage. This Song Lyric was also mildly inspired by the Exotical Movement (EGTOW) and it could be seen as 'political' but it is absolutely NOT political - it is solely to uplift Exoticals (with said phenotype). A little bit cheeky, but fun. Suitable for the following Genres: Hip-hop, RnB, Rock, Rap.
