about

Unholy is about a friend who grew up in a violent household and everyone used to judge her for misbehaving when they all knew how bad her circumstances were. Even though they all pretended to be such good and religious people, they were unholy for judging instead of helping.

lyrics

You ran with the wrong crowds
You got spat out
By a small town
You have your heart on a platter
But that didn’t matter
You were only a number

And when the wolves came knocking
Bloodthirsty and circling
The world cracked you open
They took your foundation
You found no salvation
In the ones who held themselves
Holy

They don’t matter now
Who are “they”?
Unholy
Pretty painted graves
Nothing more
Unholy
They love watching you
When you fall
Unholy
One day you’ll be free
They’ll still be
Unholy

Keep these horrors hidden
Underneath your thick skin
Don’t you ever let them
In

Keep your head
Above the waves
Hold your heart
So it won’t break
Don’t you ever let them
Win


PHFAT RAP:
They don't really matter much, they never did
Holy don't mean shit to me
Holy don’t mean

‘Cos evil is as evil does,
And evil ain't much except each of us
And blood red hand scream "Catch the fucks!"
Lies feed fools and we eat them up.
Try speak truth but we're too damn scared
We try see through shit. Cool that fear.
We might seem neutral, pull that move
Baby I'm just evil like you...

about

Tatum South Africa

Tatum is a rare talent, one that comes along only every so often to captivate and mesmerise with her old school aesthetic and momentous lyrics. Her voice smacks of the languid romanticism of Lana Del Rey and the moody phrasing of Lorde, and it’s steeped in dream pop lashings and an emotional depth that’s far beyond her young years. ... more
