about

Welcome to the third single in Leigh Michael’s ‘Misadventures of a Misanthrope’ series. Written under the influence of Holden Caulfield’s teenaged angst, the single 'Killing it' swallows the inevitable rejection one encounters in the music industry and succumbs to the pitfalls of bitterness, resentment and jealousy that can result from said rejection. Arrogance is only concurred when confronted accepted, and surrendered.

Killing it is written and produced by Leigh Michael. Art wok by Ross Curran.

On the Misadventures of a Misanthrope…

"A little isolation goes a long way. First you make excuses why you can’t join in, next you start ignoring invites. Pretty soon you're in a self made private hell where you believe everything you think and everyone else is simply wrong. You start to filter people through a lens of bitterness and resentment that poisons everything you experience. These are cautionary tales… These are the "Misadventures of a Misanthrope”. A series of singles confronting inner negativity and embracing chaos.” #positivity

lyrics

All work, no play sort of makes jack, cantankerous
An air waves phantom - buzz tower, maverick
Amorous glance? Basted born of avarice
Rabble told to clamour for, nothing short of Lazarus
I pin a shredded ribbon to my grimace and its nimbus
Get your critics and opinion’s, comes with every Guinness
Every cretin deft in business of linguistics
Piss in every ear, steady flying low, so zip it!
Gives me groggy dinner head, rudely woken from a nap
Jolly side of bed, like a U-ee in a cul-de-sac
Chew fat with laxative, shatter rule for looking back
'Ubermensch’ conducive to the rouge unto his hunting cap
Good or Bad, the ugly look upon each sullenly
Pungency of tumble weed, drug in with these dusty feet
Comfortable in company, but keep my own in custody
Reluctantly this puddle is, where the grumpy come to feed



V2

Growing isolation form's inaccurate portrayals
A coping mind's relationship with life is a betrayal
Detail’s in a reading come competing with the brail
Fuck's your problem?! Said the streets unto to the snail
Old audio indignity pitifully rich in imagery
Defendant come dependent on an industry that sickens me
Each epiphany, thrifty stripped to pieces fiscally
Wet beak proclivity, gimme!, the rest is history
The dread of letters spelling out a fella in a header
Suspended as a skeptic your credible a vendor
Alleged culture heads announce their presence where the sun sets
Public fashioned publication? Automatic a suspect
I don't know, Its tiring finding it so vile
Surprise surprise, inside Leigh's crying in denial
Listening insists upon slick visual's survival
Lip descriptive, "killing it" makes me homicidal

V1
Settler of contempt, depresses the hell out of me
Acceptance of ‘reject, expressing my self boundaries
Damn near freshmen, yet stepping towards a thousand weeks
Torrential drench swept away this scent, now I hound the streets.
Submitting to the middle men, flinching hand to get elect
Kid in flippancy spitting symbols through a riddled lens
Aforementioned cap's snatched, dangling at arms length
The hard sell’s consensus, more jangling of art trends
Heavily subdued, eventually you lose
That goddamn green turns everything to blue
Intruding in communities - all talk immunity
Frugal tuning of the dial, exclude you with impunity
Angsty misanthrope, hip hop obnoxious Don Quixote
Slowly own the consciousness, I’m probably a phoney
When survival violate's your principles abiding twice the harm
A little piece inside of me silently up and buys the farm /
