Alternative hip hop duo Paris Texas have been relatively quiet this year in comparison to their busy 2021. Last year, the LA-based team dropped BOY ANONYMOUS, an 8-song album including the singles “Force of Habit” and “Heavy Metal.” They followed up the record with an EP, Red Hand Akimbo, just two weeks later.
After a well-deserved breather, Louie Pastel and Felix have returned with the single “cyanide,” featuring Cryogeyser. The track feels like a whirlwind punk song, clocking in at only 2 minutes with an instrumental comprising distorted guitars and a driving drum beat. On the tune, the duo details a relationship that probably isn’t healthy but that they just can’t quit. “She tastes like cyanide, I think she’s dead inside / My face looks like a grave, she lied in mine,” Louis Pastel shouts on the chorus, with backing vocals by Cryogeyser. Felix provides a verse serving as an outro, pairing violent imagery with lustful desires.
Check out the song below, and let us know what you think of it in the comments.
Quotable Lyrics
Yeah, playin’ with each other ‘fore I f**k
She just caught me screamin’, what the f**k?
Now I feel this turnin’ in my gut
B***hes made me sick, need Kaiser
In my veins, it’s a iceberg
