Almost 2 months after the release of their mind-blowing new single “Dust” and ahead of the release of their highly anticipated new album “Unison Life” on October 21 via Hassle Records / Sargent House, Belgium’s experimental heavy rockers BRUTUS have shared another fantastic new single. “Victoria” is released along with the official music video and you can watch it above.
Vocalist Stefanie Mannaerts comments: “It’s about getting older. You know grown-up life is lurking around the corner, but you’re not afraid of what’s coming, because we’re all going to go down together.”
Bassist Peter Mulders adds: “Victoria has always felt nostalgic for us. Back to the old Brutus days. The guitar riff has been around since 2013, but it is only now that it shines in a full song. What can be seen as a quieter song with a normal song structure, turned out to be a huge step for us to take. We can’t hide behind effects, tempo changes, shouts or blasts.”
“Victoria” Lyrics:
Teenage, problems
It’s your call to face them
Teenage, twenty-something teenage
Wake me up inside,
when the light strikes again
There is another way to find
On my own I’ll meet you there
I’ll strike you every time
Teen-aged
Not subtle in my tears
I work hard for my fam
Not subtle in my tears, yeah
I work hard for my friends
Chasing motherhood
I work hard hard for my fam
To change this motherland
But some things never change
Some things never change
Wake me up inside,
when the light strikes again
There is another way to find
On my own I’ll meet you there
I’ll strike you every time
Teen aged
But we grew older
My friend, I feel the end
this is our unison life
My friend, this is the end
Why don’t you wake me up inside
And when the light strikes again
There’s another way to find
On my own I’ll meet you there
I’ll strike you every time
