About This Track
'Yoke' by Medium Build is an alternative track from the 'Marietta - EP' (2024). The lyrics look at a relationship to pressure and obligation, with images of scarcity and security, then a turn towards dogma and resentment. Lines such as “the yoke was so heavy” frame the song’s sense of weight, while references to waiting and trading personal time suggest a reluctant bargain. The mood is accusatory and rueful, moving from blunt appraisal, to moral heaviness, to a hard-edged inventory of what was given away.
"Yoke" is a single by Medium Build, from the album Marietta - EP, released 15th November 2024. The track is 3:53 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below.
About the Artist
Lyrics
I guess it was better than the alternative Plenty wanted more than us Always a roof, always food to eat Plenty of dogma-stained love 'Cause the yoke was so heavy Yeah, the yoke was so Three months away, saving savages A dozen white bought memories I gave them my youth, made some lifelong friends Who no longer acknowledge me 'Cause the yoke was so heavy Yeah, the yoke was so Out on my own, signing lease agreements Flexing my agency Wondering how I would fail without The invisible man guiding me 'Cause the yoke was so heavy Yeah, the yoke was so Yeah, the yoke was so heavy Yeah, the yoke was so
