“Bite Harder Than You Bleed” made its way online today, February 17th, arriving as the latest single from Las Vegas-based screamo band Roman Candle. As the group’s vocalist Piper Ferrari reveals below, this new track was penned about the struggles and realizations that can be faced when working in the music industry:
“‘Bite Harder Than You Bleed‘ came from this place of being completely jaded with the music industry—the pressure to act the same, think the same, and worship the same idols. It’s that ‘kill your idols’ moment where you realize even the people you look up to are just as hollow, anxious, and bruised as you are.
Lines like ‘falsely shallow, hollow, refusing to follow’ and ‘your idols hate you too’ were me processing how disheartening it can feel, but also how freeing it is to acknowledge it. The song is basically my reminder that you have to bite harder than you bleed—push back, stay sharp, and refuse to let the world wear you down.”
