about

Mawpit’s second single ‘Eat a Corpse’ seizes your brain instantly and demands your attention. With its dark tone and visceral lyrics, such as “Bite on death, fill your soul with dust”, it injects an ominous feeling into your mind before striking you with a monstrous chorus.

Written about human gluttony and animal consumption, the song questions humanity’s morals whilst demanding justice for those damaged by our greed. It condemns society’s conditioned ignorance and those who willingly turn a blind eye to the exploitation of animals. Singer / lyricist Cait explains ‘I wanted to write a song that represented the voiceless victims of humans and I think the song succeeds in portraying that feeling of disgust through the use of satire.’

lyrics

Eat a corpse, bury it inside.
No remorse, you laugh at the pain.
Bite on death, fill your soul with dust.
I’ll weep for them, echoing their voice.

I hope Karma gets ya, yeah.
They are rooting for her, yeah.
I hope God looks down in shame.
Turns you down at the gates.

Covered eyes, look away from them.
Fake your blind because ignorance is bliss.
Hold your breath, shed a tear or two.
Erase the guilt and turn your back; it's the savage in you.

I hope Chara gets ya, yeah.
Mother Earth forgets ya, yeah.
I hope you go up in flames, yeah.
Pray for us to clear your name.

Are you innocent like an angel?
Are you innocent? Where are wings though?

I hope Karma gets ya, yeah.
They are rooting for her, yeah.
I hope God looks down in shame.
Turns you down at the gates.
