about

Fighting Machine is a fast-paced, frantic emotional collision of a song, filled with hooks, motifs and a breakdown where the song has a fight with itself. The track is about finding joy and hope in the midst of battling with mental health challenges. Fighting Machine is inspired by listening to Blondie on repeat, navigating gender expression and queerness and trying to stay positive despite wanting to take on the world.

lyrics

There's a mouse somewhere in this room.
Well she's the only companion that I have in these days of doom and gloom.
And there's a man who lives inside this house,
And I can't trust a single tiny little word that's coming out of his great big mouth.

(Doo-ooh) Don't you know what I need?
(Doo-ooh-wooh) And it's time to come clean.

That I'm a fighting machine.
So lean and so mean.
In Tommy Hilfiger jeans.
And I'm a fighting machine. Hi-ho!

And look, there strays a little waif.
Spreading lies and deceit as she wades on through the astral plane.
Oh, what a thrill to live without a plan!
Dreams of riches and fame but a subservient little switch is all I am.

(Doo-ooh) Don't you know what I need?
(Doo-ooh-wooh) But it's time to come clean.

That I'm a fighting machine.
So lean and so mean.
In Tommy Hilfiger jeans.
The fresh new queer on the scene.
But she's so salty and sweet.
Let's put on Eat To The Beat.
You know that nothing's quite real,
When you feel how I feel *cries in glam*

Do-do-do-do-do-dee-doo

You're a fighting machine.
Don't you know what I need.
You're a fighting machine.
Got me down on my knees.
Got me begging please.
*screams in glam*
