Speaking about Dead Meat, vocalist Louisahhh says, "It's about waking up to an addictive relationship crumbling, the feeling of being sick and tired of being sick and tired.
"The declaration `I'm done with your emotional labour/thought that was love but not anymore" echoes writer Audre Lorde's examination of gendered emotional burden - though relationship dysfunction transcends such boundaries."
