about
Paying homage to our earliest collaborationโreigniting the flame which sparked the fiery feminist anthem of "Beauty Fiend" back in 2000โthis track delivers an unapologetic call to action for women who refuse to be silenced. A visceral, full-circle reclamation of power which confronts entrenched ageism, sexism, and the double standards still weaponized against women in music, politics and culture. Evoking decades of lived experience, with a testament to surviving in an industry that worships youth, punishes maturity, and fears women who speak with conviction. A tribute to every woman whoโs fought through the swords of misogyny designed to diminish her with a love letter to resilience and a celebration of getting older, louder, wiserโand impossible to diminish. More than a continuation, itโs an evolution. With time comes wisdom, but rage has no age.
Youth is not measured
By a mirror that shatters
Itโs a fire inside
And speaking out for what matters
Itโs true, all the demons inside me, they grew
Every time that I think about you
Within my dark places I knew
To myself I must always be true
Incensed, when you tell me that I should repent
Or that women like me should keep quiet
Restricted of rights, subjugated and silent
Now Iโm feeling violent
Speak, scream, march, stream
I rip my heart from my chest
And you rip me to shreds
The audacity
Of my steadfast resistance
Once again
Without doubt, I defy and begin
My sin is my strength from within
My skin remains thick
Tongue is still sharp and brutally honest
In defiance
I refuse to submit in compliance
To your right-wing agenda alliance
Stripping my freedoms with bias
I feel empowered, not pious
I rip my heart from my chest
And you rip me to shreds
The audacity
Of my steadfast resistance
Itโs something sacred to digest
With age comes wisdom, nothing less
The audacity
Of my resistance
Here we are
Many decades but havenโt come far
Weโre still righting the wrongs weโve endured
Weโre still fighting in hopes to be heard
Where the lines are still blurred
Itโs absurd
Like a disease that should have been cured
Codified into law not deferred
And for those who prefer when I purr
This cat scratches fascists
And gets the last word
I rip my heart from my chest
And you rip me to shreds
The audacity
Of my steadfast resistance
Itโs something sacred to digest
With age comes wisdom, nothing less
The audacity
Of my resistance
Yes, I survived past 35
And Iโm not ashamed to be alive
An unapologetic power move
Fuck those who disapprove
A middle finger to debate
Iโm everything you fucking hate
Resilient rage dichotomy
I am her and she is me
