Chelsea Grin is coming out with Self Inflicted on July 1 via Rise Records and so far we've all been a little confused about the band's lyrics. One song is called "Clickbait" and seemed to be calling out metal media for being clickbait, even though by naming a song "Clickbait" you're essentially goading people into listening and doing the exact same thing, and now we've got a song called "Skin Deep."
"Skin Deep" is about… uh… killing a dude? Or asking forgiveness? I legitimately have not a fucking clue. It's like they just took a bunch of cliche metal lyrics and stuffed 'em all together. Here's the song with the lyrics below, in all caps (their choice, not mine).
FATHER PRAY FOR ME NOW
