“‘Leave Me’ is a heavy, emotional, melodic song about the dark side of a relationship. It revolves around staying with someone who is ruining every aspect of your individuality. You want to leave, but you always fall back into the repetitive cycle of a folie à deux. The song takes inspiration from the shoegaze genre along with heavy alternative rock. Deer Death, who is an amazing artist in the alternative rock and shoegaze world, is featured on the song. He takes the track to a new level with his verse,” says Grimzlee.
Produced by Grimzlee and co-written with Deer Death, “Leave Me” is the latest cross-genre single to join this Nashville artist’s alternative discography. Grimzlee was born to break the musical box of Nashville’s country reputation. He draws influence from Foo Fighters, Asking Alexandria, Bring Me The Horizon, Slipknot, Deftones, Lil Peep, POORSTACY and more.
Preview the shared psychosis of “Leave Me” below:
You poor damn thing,
taste of metal in your mouth
supposed to even you out
All my thoughts are going gray.
I wrestle each day
with a change that never stays
and a happiness that fades,
but could you
Kill me forever?
Would you
give me the pleasure?
Addicted
to the way that
you cut me then
stitch me up.
When I bleed,
this heaven’s hell.
Please never leave me.
“Grimzlee combines ethereal textures with catchy melodies and honest lyrics about persevering through mental struggles. His personal blend of pop, rock and alternative elements reveals how precisely dialed in his vision is. His artistry, marketing and steadfast work ethic are bound to catapult him above the surface of the digital sea,” says Tim Hutchins, lead guitarist for metal band Sydewynder.
