about

Effies lyrics and vocal delivery on Entertain Us, the second single in a batch of three, follows as a result of being fatigued by constantly having to feed into the media entertainment machine. The hands that keeps reaching out and taking more and more without giving much (if anything) back. During wartimes, this feels even more chaotic and hard. Especially as artists having to jump several ships, making it hard to make a sound in this world of noise. The opening of the chorus "Broken Dolls» can also be interpreted as a nudge to the constantly fighting and weary trans community, whom is now more than ever being openly attacked, leading to several trans people having to seek refuge.
Instrumentally it is Yod Amygdala’s strange homage to one of the greats in straight forward rock’n’roll but with a psychedelic and funky twist and some country-inspired twang. In other words: Very Batboner, true Norwegian Deathrock.

lyrics

Your demise in disguise,
disguised yourself
holding on
Everything you despise
Sadly ever after
Are we even able
To see
Lost to the voices
Where everything will cease to be
And all that’s left is
Sadly ever after
Are we even able
To be

Broken dolls
To entertain your souls
Lifting spirits where ours have gone away

Do we want for peaceful slumber
Do wait till it’s gone asunder
What are we wishing for at all
Under reign of fire
Under pain of desire
from the gilded hands which reaches out for more
Than we can give

Broken dolls
To entertain your souls
Lifting spirits where ours have gone away
Catching lights to glow our minds
Our scars and traumas not innocent or sweet
These strings which which barely hold
To keep us on our feets
Resonating Clapping hands

Swapping bile and shattered lands
A feast for souls and lost demands
Broken dolls
To entertain your souls
Lifting spirits where ours have gone away
Catching lights to blow our minds
Broken dolls
To entertain your souls
Lifting spirits where ours have gone away
Catching lights to blow our minds astray
