From the recording MDLXV

“Squall” is a politically charged track from the new Ollie Twist album MDLXV (1565). Fully packed and layered with crunchy guitars, stabbing synths and dark pianos, the pulse of the production is haunting and rigid. Lyrically Twist rattles the beat calling out the climate of mistrust in governmental institutions, ever-expanding technological advances and the influence of media propaganda. Jill Freisinger warns us of an approaching storm of apathy in the powerfully delivered chorus. The track serves as an observation of modern society and the dark path civilization is trending towards. Hip-hop with substance is back! Combining scorching guitars with head bobbing beats and thoughtful concepts, MDLXV constantly pushes forward, keeping the listener intrigued from beginning to end.

Lyrics

We don’t got no love for ya’ll,
We don’t care if you brawl,
We don’t care if you fall,
We’re headed straight for a Squall

We don’t got no love for ya’ll,
Nah, we don’t got no love for ya’ll

Verse 1 –

Eyes glued to the talking heads, begin transformation to the walking dead,
Lobby for the new hard copy, pharmaceutical companies target bodies,
Now add some more sugar to your diet, addictive chemicals in the food supply, try it,
Now feed it to your children, don’t let ‘em outside fire up the television,

Chorus 2 –

We don’t got no love for ya’ll,
We don’t care if you brawl,
We don’t care if you fall,
We’re headed straight for a Squall

We don’t got no love for ya’ll,
Nah, we don’t got no love for ya’ll

Verse 2 –

Another damn day of dark headlines,
Another charade – another deadline,
Institutions look totalitarian,
Making me one skeptical American,
What ever happened to thinking critically?
I see your lies bringing misery,
The mentality of a soldier,
Trying to figure out why we silence the oppose,
Silence whistle blowers,
Tyrants now control us,
Follow orders or you know they’re gonna roll us,
Behold the new era of a drone,
Infrared cameras through the walls of your home,
The division just keeps expanding,
Democrats and Republicans continue branding,
A half a million for your last speech on Wall Street,
Yet your talk’s cheap, I’m about to fall asleep,
Information of the bias,
It’s pure propaganda they supply us,
I’m still puzzled by the haunting correlations,
Between the Pentagon and many assassinations

Chorus 3 –

You think you’re fooling all of us (we don’t got no love for ya’ll)
There’s so few people you can truly trust (we don’t got no love for ya’ll)
We don’t got no love for ya’ll,
We don’t care if you brawl,
We don’t care if you fall,
We’re headed straight for a Squall

Guitar Solo

Nah, we don’t got no love for ya’ll
Tear it down!

Chorus 4 –

We don’t got no love for ya’ll,
We don’t care if you brawl,
We don’t got no love for ya’ll,
We don’t care if you brawl,
We don’t care if you fall,
We’re headed straight for a Squall
