About This Track
'Retail Hell' by Scowl is a 2019 punk track from the EP 'Reality After Reality... - EP'. The lyrics place a weary, lonely narrator in a cycle of drudgery and punishment, returning to the same bleak routine as “Retail hell” becomes a kind of sentence. There is no comfort, no promised rescue, just fatigue, resentment, and a grinding sense that the day restarts without end or release.

About the Artist
Lyrics
End of the day sucked into a screen I'm tired and lonely and growing mean No kiss of bliss No end in sight No, you'll never see the light Ache in my heart when my day restarts Retail hell, sentenced torture for life Repeated repentance we shall never be saved Retail hell, sentenced torture for life Overzealous always jealous Love it, bеlieve it, as long as you can sell it Overzealous always jealous Love it, bеlieve it, as long as you can sell it What's thе point of persistence, what does it all mean? When my point of existence measured only in green Eight hours or eternity, it all feels the same My life spent in retail hell It all feels the same
