“Biscuit” is a haunting piece of music about being trapped by one’s own feelings and yearnings.
Many reviews of Dummy highlight the creative use of samples from the string section and vocals of Johnnie Ray’s “I’ll Never Fall in Love Again”, a 1950s bubblegum pop song. Slowed down to 16bpm, it turns...
Biscuit Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm lost, exposed
Stranger things will come your way
It's just I'm scared
Got hurt a long time ago
I can't make myself heard
[Chorus 1]
No matter how hard I scream, oh, sensation
Sin, slave of sensation
[Verse 2]
Full fed, yet I still hunger
Torn inside
Haunted, I tell myself, yet I still wander
Down inside
[Chorus 2]
It's tearing me apart, oh, sensation
Sin, slave of sensation
[Bridge]
(I'll never fall in love again)
(It's all over now)
[Verse 3]
At last, relief
A mother's son has left me sheer
The shores I seek
Are crimson tastes divine
I can't make myself heard
[Chorus 1]
No matter how hard I scream, oh, sensation
Sin, slave of sensation
[Outro]
(I'll never fall in love again)
(It's all over now)
