About This Track

'Grifter' by L.S. Dunes is a 2022 alternative track from the album 'Past Lives'. The lyrics circle a sense of manipulation and disenchantment, with images of a monument being lifted and money framed as disguise. In the middle there is a vocabulary of division, breakage and dependence, crystallised in the line, 'It all depends on it'. The song moves between moral appraisal and emotional reliance, ending on a simple declaration of love.

"Grifter" is a track by L.S. Dunes, released 11th November 2022. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Grifter

[Verse 1]

They lifted the monument

I couldn’t find the words to say the way it felt

Ring out in the aisle

The profits gain from the disguising, the effect of it

[Pre-Chorus]

All that divides

And all that will break you

[Chorus]

Dependent

I believe

It all depends on it

Love don’t lock yourself away

The god in which you pray (you pray)

Lay in hate (in hate)

Undivided inseam

Offer of disgrace (disgrace)

Violent taste (-ent taste)

All errors divine

[Verse 2]

Separated thе barograph

Can’t imagine the mistakes of bеing wrong

While the tradition would decay

All the time we spent disguising the effects of it

[Pre-Chorus]

All that divides

All that’ll make you

Never escape its power again

All that divides

All that'll break you

[Chorus]

Flu shed

Stabilize

Just to see you're dead

Love won’t offer you a thing

The god in which you pray (you pray)

Lay in hate (in hate)

Undivided inseam

Offer of disgrace (disgrace)

Violent taste (-ent taste)

All errors divine

[Bridge]

The promise kept

By your disgrace

The promise kept

By your disgrace

The promise kept

The promise kept

The promise kept

[Verse 3]

Dragged along the ground

Violins play all around

By the weather growing

I know you’ll get wind

It’s impossible to see

Make a mockery of me

Undivided inseam

All errors divine

[Chorus]

Dependent

I believe

It all depends on it

Love don’t lock yourself away

The god in which you pray (you pray)

Lay in hate (in hate)

Undivided inseam

Offer of disgrace (disgrace)

Violent taste (-ent taste)

All errors divine

[Bridge]

The promise kept

By your disgrace

The promise kept

Altar of disgrace

The promise kept

The promise kept

The promise kept

L.S. Dunes - Violet

A sideways step into more expansive territory, trading raw catharsis for considered composition.
