Slither by Velvet Revolver

Here’s a throwback about Slither by Velvet Revolver. It’s been about a decade since the ‘supergroup’ Velvet Revolver attempted to give straight up rock ‘n’ roll a shot in the arm amidst a hip hop culture. Featuring members of Gun’s N Roses and Stone Temple Pilots this group had all the trappings of what could make awesome rock. In fact, this particular song did quite well.

While I feel like a rocker at heart, I never had the look that went with it. I went from Metal to Pop. Now I do some many things that I just write music and don’t care so much about the genre as I do to make it sound fucking awesome for the vibe of the song. Which is what I think Slither is for the boys from Velvet Revolver: Slash, Duff, Scott, Matt. Them doing their thing as they do their thing. Which for the world of straight up dirty Rock, well – that’s about as good as it gets. Wouldn’t you agree?

Slither

Hey, hey, hey

When you look you see right through me
Cut the rope, I fell to my knees
Born and broken every single time

Always keep me under finger
That’s the spot where you run to me
Might see some type of pleasure in my mind

Yeah, here comes the water
It comes to wash away the sins of you and I
This time you will see

Hey, hey, hey

When you seek me you’ll destroy me
Rape my mind and smell the poppies
Born and bloodied every single time

Always keep me under finger
That’s the spot where you might linger
Might see some type the pleasure in my mind

Yeah, here comes the water
It comes to wash away the sins of you and I
This time you will see like holy water
It only burns you faster than you’ll ever dry
This time with me

When you look you see right through me
Cut the rope, I fell to my knees
Fallen and broken
Every single time

Yeah, here comes the water
It comes to wash away the sins of you and I
This time you will see like holy water
It only burns you faster than you’ll ever dry
This time with me

Hey, hey, hey
