About This Track
‘Scissors’ by Holding Absence is a 2023 rock track from the album ‘The Noble Art Of Self Destruction’. The lyrics stage a collapse of hope, followed by a grim determination to cut away what has taken hold, using imagery of wreckage, severance and self-scrutiny. The speaker frames the choice as either ending the damage directly or trying to manage it with a blunt implement, concluding with the vow of “a dull pair of Scissors”. The mood is harrowing and resolved, less about escape than about forcing a new mental alignment.
