About This Track

'Heck' by underscores is a 2021 pop track from the album 'boneyard aka fearmonger'. The lyrics orbit anxious self-talk and bruised confidence, with the narrator admitting they "didn't even try this time" as fear, shakiness, and momentum take over. There is also a sense of being dragged forward rather than choosing the moment, as though pride has to be swallowed and control is slipping. It reads like a private account of loss and grim resolve, interrupted by counting, escalating stakes, and the weary realisation that they are still in it.

"Heck" is a track by underscores, from the album boneyard aka fearmonger, released 3rd December 2021. The track is 1:59 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 13 articles about underscores.

Lyrics

Heck

I oughta swallow my pride
In moments like this when I try my luck and I don't know why
I flew a little too high
I saw the reaper and I didn't even try this time
And there's a pain in my side
My legs keep shaking and we can't just stop
On the three, nine, five
So I guess I'm along for the ride
I'm seeing symbols that I've only seen when I'm 'bout to die
And lately you've been giving me dread
I feel it every time when I wake up
What a funny way to keep me in check
And lately I've been feeling in h-
I get a little high and see crossbones
You really got your foot on my neck
I must have a death wish
If you asked then I would do it for ya (for ya)
If you asked then I would do it for ya (for ya)
(Hey) I must have a death wish, If you asked then I would do it
'Cause I'm a slut for you, a slut for you
'Cause I'm a slut for you, a slut for you
'Cause I'm a slut for you, a slut for you
'Cause I'm a slut for you, a slut for you

I oughta swallow my pride
In moments like this when I try my luck and I don't know why
I flew a little too high
I'll never cross you again, never cross you again

    mxmtoon’s 2024 single turns a break-up into a deliberately over-the-top escape plan, while its self-made video reconnects her music with the informal online creativity that came first.
