about

‘Faithless’ is a gritty indie ballad full of passion, grief and anger, and it’s a song that many people will relate to. It tells the story of an unhappy relationship – she knows her partner is unfaithful to her, but she doesn’t have the strength or courage to leave him: ‘Too scared to let go, too scared to say no.’ At the end of the song (during the bridge), there is a moment where it seems she has gained strength – in a moment of roar, violent passion – but the final line ‘just don’t give me those dead excuses’ suggests it was just in her head; she will keep allowing him to be faithless.

lyrics

Faithless
VERSE 1
Can you ignore?
Are you so heartless?
Whilst I’m waiting cold in my bed

A note on the door
And tea in the kitchen
Whilst a nightmare plays in my head

How can she say no?
You’re not nobody’s baby
Or at least that’s what you said

Did you get bored?
I hope it was worth it
Or at least that’s what I’ll say

CHORUS
I’m losing my mind
I’m losing control
I’m losing my mind
Too scared to let go

VERSE 2
Can you ignore
Those tenebrific feelings
You suppress them to the core

White turned to grey
Some call it madness
But for me it’s all the same

Note ripped off the door
Tea smeared up the walls now
Whilst a nightmare plays in my head

Did you get lost?
Are you so faithless?
Or at least that’s what I’ll say

CHORUS
I’m losing my mind
I’m losing control
I’m losing my mind
Too scared to let go

I’m losing my mind
I’m losing control
I’m losing my mind
Too scared to say no

BRIDGE
How could you do this?
You selfish son of a bitch
How could you do this?
And cut me like this

How could you do this?
You faithless son of a bitch
How could you do it?
And hurt me

Rip out his tongue
And then cut out his throat
Chop off his thumbs
And then hammer to the bones

Slice him and dice him
And leave him to cry
Rip him and tear him
Watch terror fill his eyes

Just don’t give me your dead excuses

The Banquets Leeds, UK

The Banquets are an alt rock/pop 4-piece that formed in Leeds during 2018. They’ve been described as “a modern-day Fleetwood Mac” and have attracted wide acclaim during their time as a band. Their sound is hugely impacted by the music that has flowed out of America over the last century, and like most British music, it reflects back that sound and rubs in some northern British magic. ... more
