about

With a catchy, upbeat hook, ‘Hades’ narrates a personal, negative life experience as something to overcome and rise from. Written by Emily Hatton, the track was recorded with Rhys Zacher at Spinlight Studio in Newcastle and produced by Tim Tricky (of Hurricane Fall). The accompanying film clip was recorded in Australia’s country capital, Tamworth.

lyrics

Stole me in the dark of night
Liked my little spark of light
Took it for yourself, knew I never feel right
For you it got old, tossed me with the lost souls, deep down
In your underground, underground

So why I do I miss your touch
The way you made me blush
When you only miss my blind trust?

Hey, Hades, hiding all your ladies
Hung up on the maybes, never gonna try, I
Sprung your little loophole
Now you’re sinking so low
Played me like a banjo
Strung me up, then wove your alibi, I, I, alibi, I, I, alibi, I, I
And now it’s time I say goodbye, I say goodbye, I, I, say goodbye, I, I

I was your “guilty pleasure”
Your “now, but not forever”
Your “killing time,” thought I’d never figure you, figure you out
Persephone; knew how to get the best of me
Hid me from the sun and poisoned me with all of your, all of your doubt

So now I don’t I miss your touch
Never wanted you that much
And you kept it all so…hush

Hey, Hades, hiding all your ladies
Hung up on the maybes, never gonna try, I
Sprung your little loophole
Now you’re sinking so low
Played me like a banjo
Strung me up, then wove your alibi, I, I, alibi, I, I, alibi, I, I
And now it’s time I say goodbye, I say goodbye, I, I, say goodbye, I, I

I waited ‘til the dark of night, the dark of night
(Waited and waited and waited)
Took my little spark of light, and left you behind
(Waited and waited and waited)
I waited ‘til the dark of night, the dark of night
(Waited and waited and waited)
Took my little spark of light, and left you behind

Hades, hiding all your ladies
Hung up on the maybes, never gonna try, I
Sprung your little loophole
Now you’re sinking so low
Played me like a banjo
Strung me up, then wove your alibi, I, I, alibi, I, I, alibi, I, I
And now it’s time I say goodbye, I say goodbye, I, I, say goodbye

I waited ‘til the dark of night, took back my little spark of light
Left your underworld and I
Never looked behind
