Intro 01:36

Take my hand, take me dancing. Let's forget about it for once. Take my hand, I don't wanna think about anything else. Let's pretend it's alright, alright? Don't wanna feel guilty about my privileges. (Don't wanna) feel bad any more about all they suffer for my comfort. And I give up on feeling so bad, I give up This oblivion never lasts and it doesn't change a thing. Oppression is right at the corner, it's in the middle of this room. But what I really wanna forget, what I wanna hide tonight is that it's still inside of me. And I give up on being so blind, being so blind.
3.
What is it, "you and me", what does it mean? Are we supposed to stick to the plan? Are we supposed to follow their dreams? Let jealousy lead our feelings when we know it's just unfair and selfish? Let it be you and me and her and him and them rather than live a lie How is it that we question capitalism and patriarchy and often forget that crucial point? Lots of questions and no answers
4.
Give me more than these exclusive behaviors. I thought it was all about being supportive and tolerant? Maybe I got it all wrong, it's just big boys' fun. Masturbation in public, testosterone in the pit. Why isn't our scene safe for everyone? No one should feel out of place or get hurt at shows. We came here for the same things, guided by the same feelings. Not to get bullied by a bunch of machos. Virilism is no use to your quest for acceptance and recognition. And honestly I can see it : you're not even listening to the music. I don't want you to get kicked out I want you to think and realize how self-centered your attitude is. I don't think you're a bad person and to be true I feel bad for you cause no one in the room likes you. Give me something, I want more.
5.
"Black people sure know how to dance" "I know homos cooler than normal people" "Shame she got raped... But I told her 'did you even say no?' " Shut the fuck up already I know how to be patient but sometimes you push it too hard Your words are like acid on my face I might sometimes laugh at your jokes but I'll never defend you You're only enforcing your dominant status I'm so fed up with the people I share my privileges with (Shut the fuck up already) "Oh you're vegan but do you swallow?" "I like their faces, I think they're funny" "Nah, come on, it was just a joke"
6.
Those sweaty eyes are burning, we can't see anything. My throat hurts so bad I won"t be able to talk tomorrow. Fingers are wounded there's blood stains everywhere. Hitting the drums' never felt so hard. Sleep deprivation and the miles don't help at all. We'll be dead by the end of those chords. We'll play each song like it's the last one. We're gonna give it all. We're already dead
7.
///TRIGGER WARNING : this song is about sexual abuse/// Why do most womyn I know say that they have been abused? Why do most womyn I know have confidence and trust issues? No means no And I know you mean it when you say you don't mean no harm You can feel that she wants it, you can see she's interested Did you just ask? You say it's not glamorous but is abuse really glamorous? It means no if she stays silent, if she is asleep, "hosting you" doesn't mean "fucking you" It means no when she's got a headache or any other reason, when she says so, when she says so It means no and why should you not be okay with it? Why should you insist? It means no and there's no way you can argue with that, it means no and there's no way you can argue (Being in a) relationship doesn't mean she owes you nothing She wanted you before doesn't mean she wants you now Maybe she's changed her mind and what is wrong with that? The only way to know for sure is to check with her before, during and after It's so sad and I hate it, rapes don't only take place in dark alleys but in what should be the comfortable arms of friends and lovers, or that friend of a friend of a friend. I've got so many stories you wouldn't believe it. And that's the problem. You would probably say it's exaggerated, that she dressed sexy anyway. In the end, it's always men who decide when womyn are raped or not. Why do most womyn I know... ?

about

Canine Marseille, France

Canine is a mix of screamo and post hardcore with a bit of post rock parts.
We try to make our live appearences as inclusive as possible as we like 'DO IT TOGETHER' way better than 'DO IT YOURSELF'.
We play our sets with rage and sing the end of all oppressions with passion.
