Brooke LigertwoodAbout
Brooke Fraser wished to experiment with the song Brutal Romance by writing her verses in haiku format (5-7-5) against music. Which she has said usually doesn’t work with music as music is typically written in twos or fours or eights, etc. She wanted to set this asymmetrical rhythm of syllables again...
Brutal Romance Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All shapes and colours
Rolled in stained and ageing hands
Sculpted explosions
Histories unfold
Our Jackson Pollocked earth turns
A silent witness
[Verse 2]
Lonely asylumed
Poets bequeath best attempts
Romanticising
The brutality
Of the ages and of us
Avarice and lust
[Chorus]
Love and death and death and love
Brutal romance
A silver thread, a sharpened knife
A spinning slow dance
I can’t remember before
Warm in the veins
Lead in the core
Brutal romance
[Verse 3]
You're dripping with gold
Mine is more interior
Yours is sinking you
Men at attention
Devouring a drowning fleet
Epaulettes of charm
[Chorus]
Love and death and death and love
Brutal romance
A silver thread, a sharpened knife
In a spinning slow dance
I can’t remember before
Breath in the lungs
Blood on the door
Brutal romance
[Bridge]
And I want to sing over them and into them what can’t be unsung
And I want to sing over you and into you what can’t be unsung
[Chorus]
Love and death and death and love
Brutal romance
A silver thread, a sharpened knife
A spinning slow dance
I can’t remember before
Washing of wounds
Won inner wars
Brutal romance
